Situation Is Complex
Prof. Robert Williams, assistant
dean of faculties, emphasized,
something on which everyone
agrees-the situation is extremely
complex and "several important
faculty committees are studying
the problem."
At present the Faculty Senate
Subcommittee on Educational
Policies is surveying the situation.
Prof. Walter Reichart of the Ger-
man department is heading the
committee which gave an interim
report to the Senate last night.
Prof. Reichart said he doubts
whether any concrete recommen-
dations will be made to the ad-
ministration this semester. "It
will be more or less of a progress
report," he said.
Issues Need Clarifying
He explained that there are a
number of issues which need clari-
fying before overall policy can be
determined for the different units
of the University.
When research men are brought,
to the campus for a particular
project, he said, their work is gen-
erally financed by industry or
foundations rather than by the
University.

Cases Differ
"Virtually no two cases present
the same problem," he said.
A parallel situation, he contin-
ued, manifests itself sometimes in
the University library system.
"It is argued," Prof. Reichart
said, "that the very good librarian
who can point out and steer people
to the information desired, is every
bit as vital to the University."
Prof. Reichart 'noted the grow-
ing need and consequent expan-
sion of research. "It's a problem
which, by necessity, must be very
carefully studied," he said.
"The longer it goes," he said,
"and the more that research ex-
pands . . . the more difficult the
problem is going to get.'
