EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last in a series of articles dis- cussing some implications of of the report released by the executive committee of the liter- ary college faculty last Monday. By JOHN MEREDITH That hallowed tradition at the University, the literary col- lege, will soon become the ob- ject of a study that may lead to a revision of the college's administrative structure and a truly drastic reorganization of the college itself. The study, at the moment still in the talking stage, was proposed by the executive com- mittee of the literary college faculty in its recently released report, "Some Issues in Con- trolling the Size of the Col- lege.", The report's recommenda- tions in this area encompass two related subjects: an admin- istrative reorganization of the college, and the role that the faculty should play in its man- agement. Infinite Possibilities What form might this reor- ganization take? There are, ac- cording to literary college of- ficials, an infinite number of possibilities - and- they prefer not to elaborate on any of them until the proposed study has been made. However, the idea of -chang- ing the structure of the college is not a new one, and several plans emerge as prominent pos- sibilities. In fact, the report itself men- tions, that the organization of the college along divisional lines, shbould be investigated - perhaps with a separate school for each of the three major fields of study, the humanities, the sciences, and the social sci- ences. Divisional System The divisional system, it states, is one of a number .of organizational patterns that might correct the lack of com- munication a m o n g faculty members and between the fac- ulty and the student body that plagues the college. A second possible solution is that increased enrollment -be absorbed by a series of residen- tial colleges, probably con- structed on North Campus. Thus, further expansion would at least not aggravate the col- lege's problems, and conceiv- PROF. DANIEL FUSFELD ably literary college enrollment could be decreased, with the excess also being transferred to the separate, but related resi- dential colleges. Increase Enrollment "A residential college sys- tem would allow us to increase undergraduate enrollment and simultaneously gain the co- hesiveness that goes along with a smaller unit," Prof. Daniel Fusfeld of the economics de- partment commented recently. "In a series of residential colleges, some of the units might specialize in a particular field' of study, while others could be more general in na- 'ture," he said. "We could have all the ad- vantages of a small school with- out losing the advantages of size and diversity," he added. 'However, this plan would be contingent on adequate finan- cial support." The possibility of a series of residential colleges was men- tioned by Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns in the fall of 1962 when the proposal for the residential college now being planned was first announced. However, there has not' been extensive public discussion of this idea, since. Variation A third plan, actually a var- lation of the residential college proposal, would involve divid- ing the literary college into a number of smaller units. Un- like residential colleges, these PROF. OLEG GRABAR would remain on main campus and would not have separate living units for students in each division. In more specific terms, the report d e v o t e s considerable space to delineating problems concerning the relationship of ;hefaculty to the college's man- agement. "The thought has been ex- pressed," the report states, "that some of the unrest now to be felt in the faculty during these changing times is due to a lack of a clear definition of the faculty's role in the process of decision making on policy." Bogged Down It points out that professors, especially those in administra- tive positions, are often so bog- ged down with mechanical de- tails that they cannot give ade- quate attention to educational policy-the area in which they are uniquely qualified to make decisions. "Neither by training nor by temperament is the typical fac- ulty man equipped to handle the day-to-day administration of a large, complex unit i- volving many millions of pub- lic funds and widely varying personnel," the report states. "The role of the chairman of a department has become more and more a form of self- sacrifice on the part of some faculty member. These men who, in theory, should be the intellectual leaders of a com- munity of scholars . . . are now reduced to the role of execu- tive secretaries of corporations. Indications "There are already indica- tions," the report continues, "that this is making the role of the chairman increasingly difficult to fill with men of the scholarly character who should provide intellectual leadership." In this respect, the report cites the appearance of facul- ty organization men within de- partments - a development which "may have a significant impact on teaching" by wast- ing the time of top, faculty members with menial adminis- trative tasks and by justifying poor teaching by men who are "administratively in d is p e n s - able." The report further elabor- ates on the lack of communi- cation between the upper eche- lons of the college adminis- tration and rank-and-file fac- ulty members. Foggy Channels "The lack of clearly defined channels to translate faculty suggestions into action is often a source of frustration," Prof. Oleg Grabar of the art depart- .ment commented recently. "Th( faculty member who voluntar- ily takes on a committee as- signment is not apt to resent the time he spends on it; but the tendency for one commit- tee's suggestions to merely be channeled into another com- mittee where they eventually get lost can be aggravating." With the idea of relieving the faculty of onerous administra- tive duties and developing more effective means for expression of. faculty opinion on educa- tional matters, the report makes the following sugges- tions: -Finding an alternative to the traditional. but generally poorly attended "town-meet- ing monthly gathering of the faculty"; -Avoiding promotions on a basis of administrative experi- ence; - Appointing departmental assistants "not on the teach- ing staff and without academic tenure," and -Creating a "two-class" con,. cept of career and tenure which would distinguish between aca- demic and administrative per- sonnel.

VIET NAM RETALIATION: U.SAction Sparks Protests By The Associa ted Press toasted unity in' the Communist TOKYO - The United States' recent retaliation in Viet Nam met reaction from many parts of the world yesterday. Red China pledged yesterday ts people will stand by the Soviet people in combatting "United States imperialism" and called for worldtCommunist unity to give "resolute support of the armed anti-United States struggle of the Vietnamese." In Communist North Korea, Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin boasted that Communist forces are strong enough to stop "the aggression in Viet Nam" and pre- dicted "victory will be ours." He wxorld. i Chinese Pledge The Chinese pledge, in a mes- sage to Kosygin and other Soviet leaders, followed a Peking con- demnation of United States air attacks on North Viet Nam Thursday and a warning to the United States that the people will "advance wave upon wave" against any expansion of the war in Viet Nam. In New York five people were arrested at a series of protest demonstrations over Viet Nam at the United Nations.

Coordination Of, Colleges Advocated Say Board Neglects Higher Education For Secondary By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN A stronger State Board of Edu- cation was advocated yesterday by the Michigan Conference of the American Association of Univer- sity Professors at a Fast Lansing meeting. The AAUP urged close coordi- nation of higher education and, supported the new state board as the vehicle for facilitating co- operation. However, the members of the AAUP noted that in the first few weeks of its existence the state board .had concentrated mostly on elementary and secondary school projects. Separate Education In the future, the AAUP mem- bers stressed, "Higher education and elementary education must somehow be separated in the oper- ation of state government." If the state board cannot handle the coordination of higher education adequately, the AAUP' will seek to amend the state constitution to establish a state board for co- ordination of higher education. The state AAUP accepted a re- port by its Committee on Promo- tion of a Coordinating Board for Higher Education, first brought up at its November, 1964, meeting. The AAUP proposed: -The exertion of maximum ef- fort to have the new state Board of Education granted the full stat- us of a coordinating board for higher education. In particular, the state conference urged all college and university administra- tions to assist the board in at- taining this status. Professional Staff -The provision of adequate funds by the governor and Legis- lature for professional staff and other expenses of the board re- lating to higher education. -The appointment of an as- sistant superintendent of instruc- tion, 'responsible solely for high- er education and a second assist- ant superintendent responsible solely for elementary and sec- ondary education. a-Cooperation to make possible aunified budget proposal to the legislature by the Board of Edu- cation at the earliest possible date. Broad Decisions -Broad decision-making in consultation with all institutions of higher education concerning the growth and development of each state-supported institution within the framework of higher educa- .tion in the state. -Preparation of a master plan for the next 25 years indicating in a broad way how the state should provide for higher educa- tion over this period. -Establishment of r e g u I a r channels for consultation with both administration and faculty of the institutions. Adopt Code -Adoption of a code of 'stan- dal'ds for higher education, mak- ing clear the responsibilities of faculties and administrations and stating desired conditions for academic freedom, promotion, tenure, sabbatical leaves, faculty participation in college and uni- versity government. Last November, the conference recommended that the adminis- tration and plar.ning and of state General control of a powerful "Co- ordinating Board of Higher Edu- cation." Last night's report will be trans- mitted to the governor, all mem- bers of the Legislature, the Board of Education, all faculty members in institutions of higher educa- tion and all governing boards and administrations. .The committee that suggested the proposals to the conference faced the alternatives of propos- l a en into custody wheil they DEMOCRA TS tried to break through police lines that confined their demonstration $ " to the United Nations plaza.
