Dear Galafran and
Kirkin,
Co~peration
With SAC
Complaints
of the current
curriculum are numerous and
widespread on campus. So too are complaints by students who claim
no "real" voice in academic affairs.
Currently the Student Academic Committee is undertaking a
study of the present curriculum in order to bring student voices to
the floor. For the committee's investigation to have any validity at
all, student cooperation is a must.
To some, the SAC's questionaire seems too general, too basic. But
before a sweeping curriculum revision is attempted, we must concern
ourselves with the basic question of what Marist College
is or should
be. To discover what kind of institution we have, employing what
kind
of faculty, and admitting what type of student, is the first steps
·
in bringing a meaningful curriculum to the college.
Hopefully the student body will respond to· the questions put
before it by the SAC. The questionaire below may serve an avenue
of expression to allow student voices to be heard and considered in
the re-vamping of the curriculum.
QUESTIONS:
I. General
1. Why are you at Marist?
2. What do you expect to gain from four years at Marist?
3.
How has your attitude changed toward the college experience?
4.

Government
Cuts
WASHINGTON. (CPS) - One
of· the areas hardest hit by the
Vietnam war's money
·
drain
is
science-.research
and
development grants for colleges.
Funds have not .beeri increased
in
the past few years. Many
schools
are
having
trouble
making ends meet in the middle
of long-term projects.
.-
At a time when there are at
least a· couple of speeches a day
in
Congress denouncing students
who "don't go through proper
channels,"
· most· legislation
affecting higher education will
lower the boom on students.
A
few
bills
have
been
introduced
which would aid
schools, however, at least in
science research. Representative
George
Miller
(D-Cal.) and
Senator Fred Harris )D-Okla.)
have
introduced
legislation
which would provide funds on a
pre-arranged formula basis for
institutions in every region of
the country·. Confining 'the funds
to "research and development"
in the· sciences, the money
would go· to the schools in the
form of an institutional grant, as
opposed to a project grant.
The House bill went through
hearings
last month,
and
is
expected to be brought up by
the full Science and Astronautics
Comriritte~.
next
month.
Congress·men
'Joe
Karth
-{D-Minn.),
Pete~
Rodino
(D-N.J.)
and Alphonzo
Bell
(R-Calif.) have all introduced
similar legislation.
Senator
Harris
has
l l
co-sponsors to back up his 'bill,
entitled
the
National
Institutional Grants Program. It
authorizes
$400 million for
science
research,
to be
administered
by' the National
Science Foundation. The Senate
Subcommittee
on Education
(part
of the Committee
on
Labor and Public Welfare) hasn't
even set hearing dates for it yet.
Speaking about the research
fund cuts, Harris said, " ... they
represent a long term loss for a
short
term economic gain.
I
strongly maintain this is a false
economy move." Harris, whose
bill was introduce~
only last
-week, is chairman of a Senate
subcommittee
which has held
hearings on equitable geographic
distribution for federal research
funds.
Under his bill, the country is
divided
into nine geographic
regions. The area receiving the
lowest amount of funds would
be the
East
South
Central
region, encompassing Alabama,
Kentucky,
Mississippi
and
Tennessee; the area getting the
most is the Middle Atlantic,
comprised of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.

BLACK

The

on one of the main goals of the

man today• - respect.
Kenny thinks that. if treated
with the same respect in the
professional
world,
al)
understanding can be reached by
both
the
black
and white
communities. Although the idea
of social integration is losing its
attraction
to
many
young
blacks, a general consensus of
BABA
members
desired
compatibility with white people
in the professional and business
world.
·
Throughout the seminar, the
area of black courses in history
and
art
were discussed. Ed
Flourney found that under the
Anglo-Saxon bent of his primary
and secondary education
that
there was little to identify with.
