By JEFFREY GOODMAN
It's safe to assume that the
educational value of the residen-
tial college will be significantly af-
fected by the nature of its living
units.
Just how to maximize that value
how to construct residences
which will enhance meaningful
interaction-is the big question.
Fer In students, it's an assign-
ment in brainstorming.
The students-an advisory com-
mittee to the residential college's
two top faculty planners-'-yester-
day opened what will be a long
and thoughtful dialogue on the
housing question. In their meet-
ing with Associate Dean of the
Literary College Burton D. Thuma
-director of the residential col-
lege-and Prof. Theodore New-
comb of the sociology and psychol-

ogy departments, they ranged over
the whole field of housing-related
matters.
Freewheeling, Idealistic
The ideas offered were neces-
sarily tentative, but that didn't
mean .the talk wasn't freewheel-
ing and somewhat idealistic. For
the basic purpose of the discus-
sions is to consider all proposals,
regardless of their radicalism..
If any of the ideas presented
are actually implemented, the res-
idential college is certain to be
an exciting place.
Central to the discussion were
the concepts of flexibility and va-
riety. Both. students and faculty
agreed that residential college liv-
ing units should have a wide va-
riety of room and building. styles
and should allow students and ad-
ministrators maximum discretion
in arranging the living quarters.

Go lege
Even more basic, the living units tion of l
should avoid the impersonality of they de
existing dormitories, the commit- doors an
tee agreed. And e
The fundamental arrangement Include
of the quarters was proposed at ments

ce of distinctive quarters.
he units would also be de-
to foster a sense of be-

longingness among their residents.
The question of how many stu-
dents this sense should and could
include led directly into the ques-
tion of how independent the units
of 30 should be from each other.
While Newcomb had originally
thought of connecting the units
some of the committee felt the
units should be completely iso-
lated.
Nevertheless, all agreed that
certain auxiliary facilities ought
to be shared by all units. These
facilities-libraries, snack bars and
larger classrooms-would serve to
unify the larger residential col-
lege population.
Lounges, Seminar Rooms
Other kinds of facilities, how-'
ever-lounges and seminar rooms
-ought to be included in each
unit, the committee felt.

Dialogue Opens

Other members stressed the val-
ue of having some regular classes
held within these rooms. The in-
formality of the residences would
lend itself significantly to more
stimulating discussion, they con-
tended.
A further unique feature of each
living unit might be an attractive
residence for a graduate adviser.
Newcomb said. An important func-
tion of this adviser, who would
hopefully be given teaching-fellow
status, would be serving as an aca-
demic counselor for the residents
of the unit.
Thus the committee almost
unanimously agreed that estab-
lishing peer counselling' within the
residence-with the graduate ad-
viser having minimum policing
responsibilities-would contribute
a good deal toward uniting living
and learning experiences.

Viet Nam.
The unemployment rate of "al-
most 10 per cent" in this country,
during booming economic condi-
tions was another example of the
need for expansion. "Automation
,is going to hurt employment,"
Shaw noted. "Employment is be-
ing maintained by war produc-
tion and by our wars abroad."
'Thought Controls'
Growth of what Shaw called
"thought controls" through the

Shaw claimed- .that the use of
terrorist or extremist methods by

were necessary to preserve an
economic system based on the
profit system. He particularly
attacked the extreme rightists
who were absolutely loyal to a
free enterprise system and would
be willing to go to war to pro-
tect it.
According to Shaw, those who
would be opposed to capitalism
would be those who had the least

MONTGOMERY,.Ala. ( ')-Gov.
George C. Wallace'summoned the
Alabama legislature yesterday to
a special one-day session in a
move he said is 'aimed at restor-
ing control of public schools to
the states.
Telegrams calling the session
for next Monday, were sent to law-
makers. Wallace was in Milwau-
kee, Wis., when he disclosed the
move aimed at amending the
United States Constitution "to
keep the federal government out
of our schools."
Wallace said he would ask the
legislature to adopt a resolution
calling for amendment of the Cori-
stitution.
Caught Off-Guard
The urgent call caught the
capitol off-guard except for Wal-
lace's closest aides, who declined
comment. The' governor's tele-
gramsX to legislators said:
."I believe that we together can
perform a service to our people
and the people of this country by
initiating action to protect our
local school systems.
"I am certain that each of you
will feel this action to be appro-
priate and timely, since this im-
portant matter can be promptly
acted upon, I am requesting that
this extraordinary session be
limited to one legislative day."
First Step
The resolution could be the
first step in what, the governor
hopes will be a snowballing effort
at rewriting the U.S. Constitution.
State Sen. Pete Mathews said
that if only Alabama approves
such a resolution "it will fall flat.".

action possible is to settle the
