Representing the faculty in the discussion of ‘'Faculty, Students, and Power: Two Changes,” was Jack Wilkinson, head of the Fine Arts department. Drummonds distinguished be tween “old breed” and “n e w breed” students. New generation students question established ideas, he said and reject the con i cept that the “faculty decides | what we should learn.” He feels I students, faculty, and adminis trators are all equals in the aca demic community of the Univer sity. Wilkinson contrasted Drum Music Session Set for Summer High school musicians will have an opportunity to receive a con centrated period of specialized training in instrumental music during the lf#>6 High School Mu sic Summer Session at the Uni versity School of Music.

He later added that it should not be that way. Four main questions were an swered in the Tuesday Dialogue: Students do have a goal in mind for their desire for a say in the University. “The ultimate goal is respon sibility,” said Drummonds. The 'MacBird' Auditions Changed to Sunday The audition date for the play “MacBird" has been changed from today to 2 p m , April 17, at 1463 Peari St. Play scripts will be available at 1505 Orchard St., Apt. 29, or at the FSC table on the Student Union terrace today.

In answer to the question of methods of voicing student opin ion, Wilkinson suggested changes at the departmental level. Each area would have student represen tatives, with a student body com mittee set up to organize and oversee the departments. ‘There are many possibilities for com mittee set up,” he added. Drummonds said students have definite feelings about changes in language requirements for graduate students, pass or fail PE courses, and academic appeals of wrongly recorded grades The Faculty-Student Council consid ers these issues of primary con ''cern. The Dialogue concluded with Drummonds saying ‘‘This (two students in faculty meetings) is just the first step in the deci sion making process. We’re ask ing for the right to our respon sibility.” 1.
