C.- The University of North Carolina has established an experimental col lege to show an alternate ap proach to higher education. The experimental college dif fers from the University in sev eral important aspects. The courses will be what the students want them to be. That means that the professor will propose a general topic which the students may change or modify as they wish. The students will meet with a professor who is there not to lecture but to join the students in learning. If students do not like the courses offered in the catalogue, they may form their own semi nar with a topic they choose, and a faculty member to lead them will be suggested. Seminars will be limited to 10 to 12 students and will run for six to eight weeks or as long as the students wish. Parking Still Big Problem PHILAD)ELPHIIA, Pa. --Hav ing trouble parking your auto mobile lately ? The Temple University stu dents of 1896 would sympathize with you. However, their parking prob lem was alleviated. The trustees passed a resolu tion Sept. 5, 1896, authorizing "The Tranfer of the Cooking De partment from the Church (the Haptist Temple) to the College Huilding (College Hall) to pro vidle temporary storage for stu dents' bicycles during the ses sion in the cooking room."' Arthur N. Cook, professor emeritus of history, discovered the information while doing re search for a projectedl "History of Temple University." Maybe today's parking prob lems also will go down in his tor y.

Carolinr rtal Colle o one has yet discovered a sin Ie educational process that is nost desirable, either for society r for the individual. The Col ege should serve as a laboratory rhere new teaching methods and ew subject matter may be ested. The originators add, however, hat there are two prior assump ions about enacation which lie ehind the College's founding: Desire for knowledge should pring from aroused interest in he subject matter rather than rom aroused interest in grade oints. True learning is the under tanding of concepts rather than he memorizing and categorizing ,f facts. ts Invade SD Scene inding illegal sources of drug upply rather than finding in ividual users, they admit to ooperating with local law en weement officials in geographi al areas where possession of uch drugs violates local law.

WHATS GOING ON HERE? -WIIIjT GOING ON i Forms gpe Group The founders hope that this will demonstrate to the adminis tration the high degree of stu dent interest in education. THE BEGINNING The Experimental College has been long in the making. Ac cording to one of the originators David Kiel, it started in an Ed ucation Honors 29 course taught by Dr. David Brown concerning problems in the educational process. Several students in the course wished to continue the study on their own. "The main stimulus came from the NSA Conferenco at the Uni versity o: Illinois last summer," Kiel said, "where the main topic was educational reform. The Conference was especially in fluenced by the student delega tion from San Francisco State University which has an Experi mental College of over 1,000 stu dents. "When the UNC delegation re turned we began to talk to stu dents interested in educational reform and formed three groups to discuss what could be done to make education better at Ohapel Hill. Out of this came at least three concrete programs, includ ing the pass-fail proposal and the Experimental College." vate At Duke; ld From Draft If a local draft board requests i student's class rank, the Uni versity will not forward this nformation without the stu lent's permission. In such situa tions, however, it has been Dr. ruthill's experience that the stu lent asks him to send the c-ardi. Hundreds of D)uke students Aere reclassified I-A this tall. [ni every case, this reclassifica ion resulted from incomplete in ormation or a misinterpretation >f the I.B.M. card by the local Iraft hoard. Through letters and elephone calls (at university ex tense). Tuthill has supplied or (Irrected the necessary informa - ion and has succeeded in re stablishing all student defer nents. Says Tuthill "no under ~raduate students in good stand ng have been drafted out of )uke yet." It is the administration's po1 y to encourage every male stu ent to take the Selective Serv e qualifying test "as an added recaution against being sud enly drafted out of school." Tuthill said that the govern tent has not put any pressure n the D)uke administration to roange their class rank report ig procedures. of e soIo' j 1irtdauj Temple In Sele( PIHILADELPHIA, Pa. - A committee of five students has been formed to aid the Presi dential Succession Committee in selecting a replacement for President Gladfelter at Temple University. The students will make recom mendations on criteria to be adopted in choosing a new presi dent. A similar faculty commit tee has been formed by the Fac ulty Senate. Although the five students agree that the student commit tee is a good idea, some have reservations about their own qualifications. UNDER(RADUATES SPEAK Two members of the commit tee are undergraduates. Senior class president Marc Ross, one of the two, said he could set up criteria only from past experience"s with the Presi dent. "In dealings with the Presi (lent I know what I've lik"d and haven't liked," Ross said. "I cou:dn't make suggestions about the administrative end. My cri teria would have to be based on student problems and personnel." CIA Aid Creates Scandal Three college student groups were linked to undercover fi nancial backing by the Central Intelligence Agency. As the controversy mushroomed, a Con gressman said draft deferments have been granted leaders of one group. The CIA remained silent on a report in the Evening Star that at least four student or ganizations had received millions of dollars in secret aid from the nation's chief espionage agency. The government acknowledged yesterday that the CIA had for more than a decade supplied funds to the National Student Association, the country's larg est student group. The Evening Star identified 'he three other groups as the "U. S. yorth council" wi-th head qluarters in New York; the World Assembly of Youth in Brussels. Be'lgium; and the In ternat ional Student Conference in Leiden, Netherlands. The rtudent group's connection with the spy agency was con firmed by government officials after Ramparts announced in newspape'r ads that it would ex - pose ''how the CIA has in fit rated and subverted the world of A merican s:utdent leaders."' The Evening Star said menm hers of th(e four student organ - izat ions carriedl on a limited amount of intelligence work for the C'IA. making confidential re ports on overseas v'outh activi ties and on foreign youth leaders visiting the United States CIA funds for the four groups were channeled through founda tions, the newspaper said. It idlent ified the principal (donor as the F-oundat ion for Y'out h and Student Affairs. In New York, personnel at t he foundation's headquarters s a i d all officials in a position to com ment were t.iedI up in me'etings. The Evening Star quoted the foundation's director, former NSA President Harry Lunn, as saying his group was "not a CIA front," Don't fret.

"Criteria that we choose will be interlinked with what we want the University to be in a couple of years," Kernish said. "We're concerned in a negative way. We may not he sure what we want, but we know what we don't want." FIRST MEETING Four members of the commit tee held their first meeting in the chambers of Judge Charles Klein, chairman of the Board of "'rustees.

A t entative trial run, to tes: the feasibility of the pro pisal, is slated for next Fall A bolishment of S a t u r d a v classes, loeng advocated by fac ulty and students, was accepted last week.

The at- tiude was one1 of t rying something new with no pre - conceived res.trietions which may not be necessary. Departmental (difficultiles now hamper putting the sc'hedule into effect. The English and Lan guage departments feel that 75 mninut e periods on Tuesday and Thursday are ineffec: ual because of admit ted difficulty in holding udent attention for that long. Adv'ocators of the five-day week have been clamoring for at least a chance to try such a schedule. It seems the oppor tunity is at hand. I'NIVERSITY OF l'TAII Last year the academic v'ice president of the University of l'tah formed a special commit tee to studyv the present grading ystem.

Pint: its Aid esident the faculty committee began col lecting information for their re port Jan. 10. They have asked faculty members for suggestions. Klein said the Board of Trus tees is "firmly of the opinion that responsible leadership of the student body should be given an opportunity to study the problem of securing a successor to President Gladfelter." PUBLIC RELATIONS When asked if he thought forming a student committee was good public relations, the Judge replied that he thought it was "excellent." "But that is not the reason their views are being sought. S uder:ts, after all, furnish the reason for the Ufniversity's ex ience. We're proud of our stu den body and feel confident that we w lI get intelligent, responsi l n =ut':cestitts which w.-ill be helpful." lie ariled that. to his knowl edge, s'uden:s had never been cc)nsulte-l in selecting a president before. ricKea, ~ i ICHANGE &p10 Investigate niicPotic ies tioins to the committee.
