Miami Hurricane, December 16, 1966

              In a recent decision by the Faculty Senate, the present University College program at UM was abolished. Although the issue has not been finally and completely decided, this is the first step in changing the distribution requirements for various schools in the University.
The new program will consist of six “distribution” areas, with each school of UM requiring fulfillment In four of these areas. Dr. H. Franklin Williams. Dean of
University College, explained to the Hurricane that these areas would be comprised of the following:
English Composition — • writing and grammar course.
Literature. Philosophy, and Religion.
Natural Science — consisting of either a physical science, a biological science, or a laboratory scienre.
Creative Arts — including Architecture, Art, Music, or Drama.
History — either western or non-western.
Social Science — Including Sociology, Psychology, Economics, Government, or an “Interdisciplinary” course much like the present Ssc. 201-208.
It Is expected that the present Intercultural Studies curriculum will be modified and retained as a part of the history program for qualified students on the freshman level.
Required courses under the new program will total twenty-four semester hours. However, each of the schools contained within the University' will have the option of including other courses in Its requirements. An example of this is the language requirement for majors in the school of Arts and Sciences.
The program calls for the establishment of new Intro-
tion of those who Dean Williams railed “general students" — those atudents who are not majoring in the particular department, but are taking the course to fulfill the distribution requirements.
The present University College program of the University was established six years ago in an attempt to incorporate a body of information and ideas common to the heritage of all freshman and sophomore students. A
committee was .u»poifJ,\1 a yearmgo to stutw^nb overall effeclveness of^be. snii i IIÜ-lum. p/gpavtsTflom this committee played a major part in the Faculty Senate's decision.
Dean Williams commented that, “The very real factor here Is that there is eager listening (by the administration! to students’ criticism. Because all students are exposed to University College, all criticisms seem to apply to University College.”

Stanford And Staff Answer At Forain II
By ROBERTA POX
Hurricant Reporter
At the second University Forum on Monday, Nov. 12, Henry King Stanford, President of UM, his administrative staff, and some 200 students and faculty were present. Questions which were discussed ranged from the abolishment of University College to the enforcement of a dress standard. However, because of lack of time many questions were either limited in discussion or were not answered at all. The ones that were unanswered will be brought up at the forum to be held Jan 6.
In reply to one question which inquired as "to what extent can and should the students take part in policy-formation”, President Stanford stated that students had the right and obligation to voice their opinions, but supreme delegation W'as invested with the president of the university who in turn, received his |x)wer from the board of trustees.
Another controversial question was one addressed to Dr. Armin H. Gropp, Vic® President for Academic Affairs, which stated, “In view of the high tuition rate», why should student« have to put up with lousy unqualified graduate students posing as professors?” The argument brought out was that Dade Junior College had no gradu-a t e instructors primarily because they had no graduate schools. Secondly, he slated that In order to secure worthwhile teachers they must first he adequately trained, and the experience afforded to them by apprenticing in the classrooms was a part of this training.
A question which for some time had been of interest to students, was one which concerned an acceptable standard of attire. Dr. Butlpr, Vice President for Student Affairs, commented on this by declaring that the Rules Revisions Committee was now looking Into this matter, as well as into the subject of revising the time set for women's curfews.
In answer to the question which inquired if it were true that only a minority within the central administration were willing to support the student's interest. President Stanford replied that it was not true that the administration Won't consider students’ ideas, but he did say that at times "What YOU want and how WE see it just don't jibe.”
In reply to a question pro-
posed by two male students as to why visiting hours could not be arranged In Eaton Hall, Dr. Kill 1er said that a committee had been established to look Into tho feasibility of such an arrangement.
The question concerning the abolishment of University College which was of vital importance to freshmen and sophomores alike W'as discussed at great length. Dr. Gropp responded that it was true that the University College after this year would no lohger be in existence. At this time, fieah-men and sophomores who have declared majors will he enrolled in their appropriate educational schools. Those without declared majors will have separate advisors and they, as well as those who have chosen their field of study, will be required to take 24 hours of general education courses. Television courses as substitutions for teachers will be done away with, but according to Dr. Butler, "television, as a means to further increase depth and quality of instruction, will be maintained".
One of the exciting moments of the evening came when a boy arose and vehemently protested that the administration was ignoring some of the students' p r e-submitted questions. Ironically, the person who made the complaint was not a student from UM but
