Any university reform to come from the Carnegie Com mission on Higher Education should be able to stand on its own educational merit, ac cording to, C. Peter Magrath, dean of faculties, said. Magrath said a university should not institute changes only as an attempt to alleviate the report would cut the time needed for most degrees from four to three years for the bachelor's degree and by one or two years for the Ph.D. and M.D. Kerr said that this would cut operating expenses for American higher education by 10-15 per cent.

Many changes and improvements in a university can be justified in themselves because they benefit educa tion," he said. The Carnegie Report, released Nov. 23, suggests reforms the commission felt would cut the time to earn degrees, provide educational opportunity for more people and reduce students total ex penses. These changes would alleviate somes t u d e n t s ' "legitimate complaints' and thus remove some causes of campus unrest, the report states. Magrath, who emphasized that he has read summaries but not the complete report, called it "useful and worthy to be studied at a lot of levels in the university to see if it has some relevance." The report represents more than a year's work by such people as Clark Kerr, former president of the University of California; Nathan Pusey, Harvard president; Rev. Thomas Hesburgh, Notre Dame president; and William Scran ton, a former governor of Pennsylvania. The first recommendation in have to be bound forever and years to graduate," Magrath commented. He said that in general today's high school students , enter college better prepared ' than in the past, though he add ed that high schools v a r y in how well they prepare students. Because of this, Magrath asserted that universities might profitably escape from the ( strict four-year period and of ' fer programs tailored for in dividual students. The committee also recom mended that students be en couraged to work full-time between high school and col lege or to "stop-out" of college temporarily and find a job. "The college should not help indefinitely prolong an aimless search for an experimentation with various life styles," the report reads. Stopping-out might have a lot of merit as long as it is "not regarded as the only thing to do," he said. Magrath added that it should be presented as an option thereby allowing for greater flexibility or each student. The Carnegie Commission also proposed that more op-.

Magrath said that these pro posals should be "seriously considered." He concurred with the com mission that it is important that "special groupings' have better opportunities for higher education. The final recommendation from the commission would create two new degrees a Doctor of Arts (DA) to replace the Ph.D. as the main degree for college teachers and a Master of Philosophy (Ph.M.) for high school and community college teachers. "The Ph.D. now has a headlock on much of higher education," the report says. "We now select a student to do research; then employ him to teach; and then promote him on the basis of his research. This both confuses him and subverts the teaching pro cess. ! Magrath warned against the superficial appeal 01 the DA degree. "It sounds good, but good teachers often have done research," he pointed out. Calvary United Methodist Church 11th and Garfield Morning Worship: 8:30 and 10:30 .m.
