ENROLLMENT, QUALITY OF EDUCATION TO DECLINE Colleges approach'Golden Age'? The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, January 23, 1980-Page3 -WASHINGTON (AP)-College enrollment will bhrink 5 to 15 per cent during the next two decades, roducing a "Golden Age" for students as colleges scramble to attract them and tailor courses to their tastes, the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education predicted yesterday. While faculty and administrators struggle to cope with the "demographic depression" of the youths of traditional college age, students "will seldom if ever have had it so good on campus," the council said. "The difficulties of others can only rebound to their advantage. This may well become their Golden Age." THE COUNCIL said it was "quite likely" the tion's 3,000 colleges and universities would suffer 'a downward drift in quality, balance, integrity, dynamism, diversity, private initiative and research s i (,,, capability." But the panel said that was not inevitable and it discounted the fears of some educators that the 1980s and 1990s will be "a dark age" for higher education. "Becoming somewhat smaller is, we believe, com- patible with becoming somewhat better," said the council in its final report entitled "Three Thousand Futures: The Next Twenty Years in Higher Education." "NO DEMOGRAPHIC disease of epidemic propor- tions will sweep over all higher education during the next 20 years," said the report. The disease "will be selective; some institutions will diefrom it; nearly.all will be affected by it. . . and all will need to take some precautions." The council, chaired by Clark Kerr, is winding up its business after issuing more than 100 reports on higher education since 1967 under its aegis and through a predecessor group, the Carnegie Com- mission on Higher Education. Its work will be con- tinued by a related group, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Census Bureau figures show the number of 18-to-24- year-olds will fall 23 per cent by 1997. But the council forecast that drop will be cushioned by increasing college enrollment of adults, women and minorities, and a lowering of the 40 per cent college dropout rate. It said college enrollment actually is likely to grow 10 per cent in the Southwest and West and 5 per cent in the South, while falling 10 per cent in the East and Midwest. v. t" v.{" f.....x " v.vr {ryv:{ryvv: }"i v;: ": }}v:. :." :::ti;:; >>' .. $ : v.

".......{. .} gives no to, wit as new treasurer By MITCH STUART, and TOM MIRGA The Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) had no difficulty in approving ' he appointment of a new treasurer last night and raised no questions about the method used to select the new officer. However, deep concerns were raised about the interviewing and nomination process for most other external appoin- tments, and the assembly could take action next week to alter its current policies. LSA SOPHOMORE Jeff Smith replaced assembly veteran Brad ,analle and will assume his new osition as MSA treasurer Feb. 1. Canalle said he would continue to assist the assembly until Smith felt comfor- table with his new job. The new treasurer said he was leaving his current post as business manager for the University Activities Center's (UAC) Viewpoint Lecture series- because' "the experience would be good. I felt that I would add a lot to the position. I felt I would be able to con- ibute quite a bit." Iner n nominating procedures discussed "I don't know a great deal about the assembly," he conceded. "I see the role of the assembly as working in the best interests of the students." SMITH WAS chosen from a field of five applicants after compelting a bat- tery of interviews with MSA Permanent Interviewing Committee (PIC) Coor- dinator Bob DiScipio, MSA President Jim Alland, Canalle, and the assem- bly's Steering Committee.. Alland said he found Smith to be "a very capable and strong-spoken in- dividual" and praised his strong finan- cial background. Canalle said he was happy that MSA was able "to buy out his contract from UAC and put him to work" for the assembly. "Jeff will work very hard to bring MSA's neanderthal knowledge of finan- ces back up to date," the former treasurer quipped. ALTHOUGH NO specific questions were raised during the meeting about the details of Smith's appointments, substantial doubts were brought up about MSA's external appointment in- terviewing and nominting process. "Important appointments would come up, like the University Cellar board of directors seats that were discussed last week, and nobody would know a thing about the people who ap- plied or what the positions exactly en- tailed," said Assembly Member Jack Hall. "The process just doesn't work well." At last week's meeting, the assembly narrowly approved the appointment of three men to the student-operated bookstore board of directors. Substan- tial discussion on the matter centered over the fact that neither women nor minorities were represented in the pool of applicants for those positions. HALL'S PROPOSAL -to the assembly last night would alter the composition of MSA's external appointment inter- viewing mechanism to include representation of both woien and minorities. The assembly member suggested that three seats on the body be reserved for MSA members to assure dialogue on the appointments between members of different political viewpoints. In addition, Hall also recommended that persons rejected during the inter- viewing process for a certain position be informed of any future job openings. Canalle expressed mixed reactions to the Hall proposal, saying that change in MSA policy should occur if deemed necessary to enhance the structure of the organization. "We must get the best students to fill these positions to a tee," he said. "If we aren't fullfilling that need, change is necessary. But we have no quotas to fill, we aren't bound by Title IX or state statutes regarding affirmative action. I hope we don't come off the wall with a proposal without an impact analysis."

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Darter is considering a proposal asking ongress to authorize a peacetime registration of draft-age youths, ad- ministration sources said yesterday. The sources said they were uncertain who made the proposal but added that they believed it came from, within the White House staff. THE SOURCES, who asked not to be identified, also said they were uncer- tain whether Carter would accept the proposal and whether he would include such a request to Congress in his State of the Union address tonight. If he does so, Carter will be changing his administration's position on the question of a peacetime registration. White House spokesman declined to comment on the issue last night. Last summer Defense Secretary Harold Brown told Congress, "We don't propose'to go to registration, let alone the draft, until we are convinced that other methods won't do the job." r 10% DISCOUNT on Stephen Products Mon., Tues., Wed.
