AT T ICA PANEL:
Lack offu nds
factor ini riots?'
ATTICA, N.Y. (N-The chairman of a congressional panel
investigating the riot at Attica Correctional Facility said
yesterday that "had there been enough money, much of this
tragedy could have been prevented."
Rep. Claude Pepper (D-Fla.) and members of his House
Select Committee on Crime, spent seven hours at the prison.
Pepper said afterward that because of ina equate financing
of penal institutions "all of us are responseble for what hap-
pened here."
Pepper said Gov. Nelson Rockefeller had told him earlier
that it would take between $100 million and $200 million to
bring correctional facilities up
" to an adequate level in New
Attica sto - York State.
Another panel member charged

knowledge of his subject and
interest in college," wrote one
BGS graduate.
Of those who sought jobs after
graduation only one felt that BGS
had in any way hurt his chances
of obtaining a job, while 35 per
cent felt it helped them gain em-
ployment and 60 per cent felt it
had no effect at all.
Those seeking employment typi-
cally felt that their grade-point
averages as well as having gradu-
ated from the University of Mich-
igan were the most important fac-
tors in gaining employment.
The BGS grads who answered
the questionnaire responded over-
whelmingly (91 per cent) that the
BGS program had benefitted their
education and nine per cent said
it had no effect at all.
"The freedom of the program

allowed me to enjoy school for the1
first time," reads one typical .com-
ment. Many felt that the freedom
of the BGS helped them tap new
areas of interest and mature in
making their own decisions.
"It gave me a control over my
education that made enough of a
difference to keep me engaged
with exploring my own interests
instead of just getting by or drop-
ping out," commented one BGS1
graduate.
"It freed me from the require-
ments of any one department. Pri-
mary in importance is that in
BGS a student escapes becoming
trapped in the structure and at-
titudes of one department," said
another.
Quite a few of those responding
were relieved that they no longer
had to deal with counselors.
The shortcoming of the program

BGS grads were most concerned
with was the restriction on the
number of hours a student may
take in one department.
The degree requires that a stu-
dent take 60 hours of 300-level and
above courses. No more than 20
of those hours in one department
can be credited toward the degree.
As well, there is a 40-hour maxi-
mum limit on all courses taken
within any one department.
Others felt the degree suffered
only from an undeserving reputa-
tion.
"The only shortcoming it had
was that when it was instigated it
was played up as a cheap BA and
as an escape from languages in-
stead of a new degree from one
of the most prestigious universities
in the world," remarked one.
One of1 the chief purposes of the
survey, according to Revitte, was
to answer many students' express-
ed fears about their future after
going through the BGS program.
"Not only do the results show
that the BGS did not hinder their
futures," Revitte says, "but almost
every student responded that the
BGS had in some way improved
his education at the University oT
Michigan."

They scoffed at Egypt's state-

in revenge for the shooting down
of an Egyptian fighter-bomber a
week ago by Israeli machinegun-

down since the cease-fire began
on Aug. 7, 1970.

"Our troops have always been

The hostilities along the canal
coincided with a fresh outbreak of
ground fighting in Lebanon near
its border with Israel. The Leba-
nese military command said a
farmer and his wife in the village
of Rmaich were killed by Israeli
forces.
The military command in Tel
Aviv said the fighting was trig-
gered by Palestinian guerrillas
who slipped into Israel. The com-
mand said its soldiers killed two
guerrillas but a spokesman said
he had no knowledge of the Rmaich
shootings reported by Lebanon.
He said 'the guerrillas' bodies
were deposited at the border after
the fighting stopped. The Lebanese
area near the fighting is known as
a guerrilla stronghold.
