Stanford has
tutorprogram
for freshmen
(I.P.) Every freshman entering
Stanford University should participate
in a tutorial program, where a regu
lar faculty member teachos and ad
vises no more than 12 students.
This dramatic shift in teaching re
sources to the freshman year Is one
of several recommendations for re
form In undergraduate education de
veloped over the past two years by
the Study of Education at Stanford;.
IN GENERAL, the Study report on
undergraduate education suggests
these kinds of changes:
Greatly simplifying and reducing
present undergraduate course require
ments, Including foreign language and
laboratory science;
Eliminating grade-point averages
and moving to a straight A-B-C grad
ing system; and
PROVIDING a normal load of only
four courses at any time, adding a
reading period in each academic
term, and changing from a quarter
to a semester system.
Distribution requirements would be
reduced to the student's choice of any
two courses in each of three broad
areas: humanities, social sciences,
natural sciences, and technology.
Coupled with the freshman tutorial
and related first-year writing and
historical studies programs, these re
quirements would cover about one
fourth of a student's total course
work.
EACH DEPARTMENT could pre
scribe not more than one-half of an
undergraduate major's total r gram,
including courses required y the
major department to be taken in
other departments.
The effect of these recommenda
tions would be to phase out freshman
English and Western Civilization as
uniformly required courses for all
freshmen. Teaching resources involv
ed in the programs would be shifted
to the freshman tutorials.

Colorado Clearing House 'teaches
volunteers through social involvement Sportsday planned
-
Expressing the voice of University
students to the state Legislature is
one of the major functions of the
ASUN T,ef7islative Liaison Committee,
according to Diane T h e i s e n ,
chairman.
The committee is divided into
several sub committees according to
Miss Theisen. One of these sub-committees
forms the student lobby to
the legislature each week.
THIS WEEK, a representative will
be speaking in favor of LB 168, she
said. This bill proposes a constitu
tional amendment to lower the
Nebraska voting age to 20. An
amendment to the bill, changing the
age to 19, may also be offered, she
said.
In order to better represent student
ideas, the committee has sent out
about 5,000 questionaires toUniversity
ideas, the committee has sent out
about 5,000 questionaires to University
students. About 20 per cent of these
were returned, Miss Theisen said.
Using the statistics obtained from
these questionnaires, the committee
plans to compile a report on student
opinion.
The report will be sent to members
of the administration, faculty and
state Legislature. It's purpose is to
provide a comprehensive basis for t$e
Committee's determination of student
opinion, she said.
IN OTHER areas, the committee
plans to do student evaluations of the
various University departments.
These are to be accomplished by
compiling Individual evalutlons con
cerned with a single department, Miss
Theisen said.
In another program, the committee
would conduct a speakers bureau for
outstate areas. This bureau provides
speakers to talk to groups about stu
dent life and thought at the Universi
ty. In these talks, students are em
phasized more than facts and figures,
Miss Theisen said. The response of
groups hearing the talks has been
good, she added.
BOULDER, Colo. - The ancient
Greeks had a word for what 500
University of Colorado students are
doing through the CU Clearing
House.
The Greek word is "Paideia" and
it means "education by one's socie
ty." The CU Clearing House, started
in 1965, is a volunteer social work
organization which undertakes various
service projects throughout the year
in Bouder and surrounding communities.
MIKE MEADE,, the Clearing House
director, said the organization runs
on the basic philosophy that volunteer
work is a learning situation for the
volunteers as well as an opportunity
to help others.
"Clearing House does not want
people merely helping only to help
or those coming in just for an activity
or for college credit," Meade said.
The college student today is beginning
to realize that his responsibilities as
a citizen are not confined to the cam
pus community, he said. Clearing
House, which received more than 700
applications in a four-day recruiting
drive this fall, is assuming
responsibility through 14 operating
programs and it Is developing five
more, including a Big Brother pro
gram incooperation with the
Westminister Aid to Dependent
Children (ADC) Mothers' Club.
Meade calls his Clearing House
work during the last 18 months "my
whole education" because he has
become oriented to the people of the
community and to their problems.

You have made up your mind the kind of work you want to
do will not be cut-and-dried. You want to get into something
with action; a chance to shake things up and make some
changes, and while you're at it contribute something toward
making this a better world.
Why don't you look into P&O Sales Management?
At P&O we welcome change. We must change to meet
changing needs of our customers, or go out of business. And
we need individuals for Sales Management who can assume
leadership in showing us how to trade what we're doing now
for something better. We like boat-rockers!
As for the better world part of it a leader is a leader, and
we're proud to say that in our Company, leadership doesnt
stop at the end of a business desk ... it overflows into the
community in which our people live and gets things done
there, too.
Procter & Gamble is an equal opportunity employer.
