According to a mutual agree ment among all present at yes terday's meeting, the committee will have to agree unanimously on the rule. Each faction will vote as a unit and unless all three units agree on the rule that is propos ed at the time, then more discus sion will be held until another possible rule is discussed and then it too will be voted on. Here again unanimous approval is re quired. When this committee makes its recommendations, it will then be presented before the WRC and they will vote whether to accpet or reject it.

'.i- '" I Student Rights Violations To Be. - Dealt With By AAUP The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has formed a new committee to deal with the problem of violations of student rights, it was revealed last week at the association's Na tional Conference. Dr. Daniel Pollitt, UNC Pro fessor of Law, is one of the five members of the committee, chair ed by Professor Moneypenny of the Universry of Illinois. Prof. Pollitt said yesterday that the committee has prepared a tentative report that will be sub mitted to the ouncil of the AAUP soon for approval. The approval of the Council is necessary before final action on the committee's proposals can be taken by the Convention. The report will set forth stan dards to be adopted by the AAUP concerning what grounds students can properly be punished in mat ters involving academic freedom and what procedures should be followed for punishment in such cases. According to Dr. Pollitt, the committee was formed to set up minimum standards of student rights and freedom "on and off campus, on student newspapers and radio stations, and in other Sarit Thanarat, has joined SEATO.

The question of student academic freedom is of vital concern to pro fessors, he said. Dr. Pollitt said that the con cern of the AAUP about viola tions of student rights grew out of the sit-in movements in 1961, when many students were being f expelled for participating in dem onstrations. The National Conven tion adopted a resolution con demning the discharge of students for such reasons in 1961, he con tinued. "When the peace marchers and the ban-the-bomb movements be gan, there were more cases of students being discharged brought to the attention of the AAUP," he said. "There were many letters asking what the official position of the AAUP was, so they decided the AAUP ought to have a more detailed position." The committee has met three times since its formation, accord ing to Dr. Pollitt. At the last meeting a month ago, the work of drafting final proposals was divided among three subcommit tees after the general outlines of the committee's recommenda tions were laid out. Dr. Pollitt said yesterday that Has Not Fallen To Communists pot Of Southeast Asia The Resolutions for Thailand are: THAILAND We consider Thailand to be the staunchest and most val uable ally of the United States in Southeast Asia. Every effort should be made to maintain the stability of Thailand, thereby re gaining a strong anti-Communist state in Southeast Asia. In or der to implement these aims, we propose: - - - - " 1. To continue our present pro gram -of economic aid to' Thailand,- while increasing military aid in response' to the heighten ed Communist threat in the Northeastern region. . - 2.

Also, Hannelore Simon Rogers, Idaho Educator Says School Not Intended A noted educator this week lashed out at the mediocrity of higher education in this country and ex ploded two popular myths about higher education in a speech de livered at the final current affairs :orum of the year at the College of Idaho. Dr. Tom E. Shearer, president of the C of I. in discussing "Cur rent Problems of Higher Educa tion" refuted the idea that "it is the God given right of every high school graduate to attend college. It simply isn't true," he declared. "We've got too many of the wrong students in colleges." The national drop-out figure in colleges is 60 per cent, he stated. "We're either boring them to death or they shouldn't have been here in the first place. Students who are in colleges without the abilitv or the desire to do the work are taking space that ought to be filled by someone else, he con the subcommittees' proposals were being compiled and would be given to the Council shortly. Following; Council approval the committee j report will be submitted to the next National Convention of the' AAUP for ratification. The policies of the AAUP carry considerable weight because of the large number of American professors that belong to the or ganization. Institutions that do not conform to AAUP standards often find it difficult to hire top-notch faculty members. Dr. David Fellman, Professor of Political Science at the Uni versity of Wisconsin and chair man of the AAUP committee on violations of. academic freedom and tenure, said at the National Convention last week that he made the motion to form the special committee because, "I found my own committee just didn't have the time to deal with all the in cidents which arose." Fellman noted with concern a rise in radical right wing pres sures on faculties across the coun try. "There isn't a great buildup yet, but I think we are just at the beginning of developments,' he said. United States and Thailand. 3.

For A tinued. He deplored the fact that many new colleges and universities are now being built to accommodate the anticipated influx of college students. "'It's perfect nonsense that we should double our college enroll ments by 1970, as everyone tells us is going to happen, until we have filled our present facilities with capable students. If we routed out from all our colleges and universi ties those students who are wasting their own time, energy and money and those of faculty members, we would probably have penty of space to take care of this increasing crop of students. "One of the major problems is the complete watering down of the whole character of higher educa tion," he said. He alluded to the state of California's plans for new colleges and universities and gi gantic "enrollments in - the next decade. "If this trend continues," he de clared, "you can be sure your bachelor's degree will be worth very little insofar as that degree signifies the mark of an educated person. Too few students are emerging from our colleges as well as educated persons. I can see no hope tor a woria moving at our present furious pace unless we have a truly hard core of educated men and women in every community and in substantial numbers. Instead I see an increas ingly larger number of college graduates being turned out each year who not only don't read one serious book a year but who proba bly can't." Referring again to the high per centage of drop-out students he as serted that. "Either the service is poor or the customers are poorly selected. Any business that lost customers that fast would fail. It seems to me high time that some higher educational institutions fail ed. "We're going to have to do a better job of selection. There are thousands, probably tens of thous ands of young peop'-e in colleges and universities today who should be out working," he contended. "We need to take a cold hard look at teaching methods and fac ulty evaluation techniques. In a small college we can and do, with some intelligence, continually try to improve our teaching methods. But in the large universities with 25,000 students and a faculty of 2,500 persons this just can't be done.
