I Agencies Support ccaoooi Throygih IFymdls Standards Now Topic For AWS Week's Thame Set: As Others See You Associated Women Students (AWS) Standards Week will be held Jan. 13-16, with the orientation dessert held tonight.

But others believe just as strongly that "federaliza tion and centralization of education are destructive and must be halted." Paul Friggens reports the pros and cons of the situation in a January READER'S DIGEST article, "Federal Aid to Education: Boon or Bane?" He finds most of the money is spent for "costly, mushrooming government-sponsored research" that "lures many of our best teachers away from the classrooms . . . thus undergraduate education is devalued, and a good many youngsters are shortchanged in their education. Faculty members receiving grants switch full or part-time to the federal payroll and report on their project to somebody in a government agency. "A University's con trol over its own destiny has been substantially reduced," says president Clark Kerr of the University of California, "Projects are duplicative and uncoordinated," writes Friggens, "extravagance and waste abound . . . since the great bulk ... is being poured into research for national defense, health and space. This is creating dangerous im balance in our academic programs." To withstand the dangers implicit In federal involve ment, President Robert F. Goheen of Princeton warns, we must have greater private support of education. One proposal is for tax credits. A taxpayer could in effect pay part of his income tax up to $100 directly to a col lege or university of his choice. Many schools now maintain Washington offices or rep resentatives to seek grants. John A. Howard, president of Rockford College in Illinois, calls the clamor for fed eral funds a "stampede to disaster" and insists that the federal programs destroy institutional initiative, stifle di versity and exert undue controL , Howard's college is pushing an 18 million-dollar ex pansion program without federal funds. For similar rea sons, Brigham Young University at Provo, Utah, has re jected more than three million dollars in federal aid in the last five years. unnxsnU Chain By Susan Smithbergcr Senior Staff Writer A motion recommending that the regular school year calendar be moved up was passed by the Student Council yesterday.
