On Organizations Rules Tightened Violations by two student groups, trust fund requirements and separation of constitution and policies were the main items of business in the Student Administrative Board (SAB) Tuesday. Students for a Democratic So ciety (SDS) were warned by the SAB that future violations of EMU rules “would not be tol erated.” The representative from SDS pleaded ignorance to the four violations charged against them. The Committee Against Geno cide of Biafrans were charged with two of the same violations. The Biafra committee’s rep resentative said she purposely violated the regulations because she did not see any reason for such regulations. The SAB withdraw all sched uling privileges of the commit tee for one week, but suspended the sanction and placed the committee on probation for 30 days. If the committee violates any SAB policy during the pro bation period, the one-week loss of scheduling privileges will be invoked. The violations of SDS were taking over a table reserved by another group, using equipment (i.e. a table) other than pro vided by the EMU, having a table on the terrace during ASUO elections, and putting up signs on places, where signs are not allowed, such as the window Lecture to Feature Vietnam War Tape “What’s Next in Vietnam,” will be the topic of the Brows ing Room Lecture tonight at 7:30 in the Browsing Room of the EMU. Hugh Wood, professor of Ed ucation, will be the guest speak er. Wood recently returned from Vietnam where he spent several months observing the war. lie will be introduced by lec ture discussion leader Guy Schellenbarger, also a professor of education. Following the lecture, Wood will play a tape of a battle of the January Tet Offensive in Saigon. The tape was made from the roof of a hotel where Wood and several other visitors were staying. INTERESTED IN AN OVERSEAS CAREER? Jl MRS. JEAN T. BUSH will be on the campus NOVEMBER 21, 1968 to discuss the training offered at A.I.F.T. (an intensive nine months rogram of post graduate study) and the job opportunities open to graduates in the field of INTERNATIONAL TRADE and GOVERNMENT SERVICE. Interviews may be scheduled at THE PLACEMENT SERVICE The American Institute For Foreign Trade Thunderbird Campus PHOENIX, ARIZONA An Affiliate Of The American Management Association of the Fishbowl. The Biafra committee also used non-EMU tables and had a table up during ASUO elec tions. The SAB decided that in future violations, a member of the board would warn groups on the terrace of the violation. If the violation occurred again, a written complaint would be filed and the group would be required to appear before the SAB. The SAB has such sanction powers as withdrawal of sched uling privileges, withdrawal of fund-raising privileges, with drawal of the use of the Uni versity name, property and fa cilities, as well as withdrawal of any group’s recognition. On the trust fund accounts that the board last week de cided to require of every group, the SAB decided to grant waivers to all sororities, fra ternities and groups who have trust funds with University de partments. It was decided on the exemption because these groups already have trust funds which are recognized by the Uni versity and are open to inspec tion from any person through the business office. In voting to separate the con stitution from the polices, SAB members differentiated between their business which is review ed by the ASUO Senate and that which is not. The separation must meet Senate approval, as must all action the SAB takes. SAB Chairman Steve Rhodes said he has received complaints from some senators who feel that the present set-up which requires the Senate to go through all SAB decisions is un necessary. The separation would give the Senate review power only over SAB constitutional amend ments, or policy changes, but not the routine policy state ments. Stanford Proposes Reform Of Under grad Education By PHIL SEMAS Collegiate Press Service STANFORD, Calif.—A facul ty-student committee has recom mended a vast overhaul of un dergraduate education at Stan ford University, an institution usually regarded as one of the nation’s most prestigious but also one of the most tradition al. The recommendations empha size independent study, small classes and changes in the aca demic calendar and the grad ing system. A preliminary summary of the proposals released by the cam pus newspaper, the Stanford Daily, outlines these changes: • Every entering freshman would participate in a tutorial program in which the profes sor would teach and advise no more than 12 students. This would eliminate fresh - man English and western civili zation courses, two mainstays of undergraduate education on most campuses as university wide requirements for fresh men. The teaching resources now used in these courses would be shifted to the tutorials. Foreign language and labora tory science courses would also be eliminated as university - wide requirements, although they might still be required by students’ major departments. • The present A-B-C-D-F grading system would be re placed by a system under which students would receive only an A, B or C. Students who fail courses would simply not get credit for that course. A student could be flunked out of the university only if he were falling behind in the num ber of courses for which he was gaining credit. Because of its selective admissions policies, however, Stanford loses only a few students each year for aca demic reasons. • A one-week reading period would be added prior to each finals week. It would be free from all classes and tests to allow the students to review their work ot the preceding weeks. Stanford would also change from a quarter to a se mester system. • A department could pre scribe only half a student’s workload, leaving the rest free for liberal studies and indepen dent work. • All undergraduates would have the option of designing their own majors, subject to the approval of a faculty member and the dean of undergraduate studies. • Two other recommenda tions to encourage independent work would permit up to 10 students in each class to par ticipate in an honors program free of all course requirements and establish a general educa tion college to offer a com - mon one-year program for no more than 75 students. The report, first of 10 to be re leased this fall by the Study of Education at Stanford, will be considered by the faculty later this month. 1 e u consensus: the finest prime rib anywhere €UG6N8 HOTCL * For Reservations 344-1461 »HI'* Li £»CUU>.CC Jeait'Claude Killy talks shop...
