Four Committees Branch Off From Council's Survey

Roger S. Kuhn '46, chairman of the Studen Council's Committee on Curriculum and Tenure announced last night the establishment of four separate sub-committees to handle projects during the fall term. Forty-two members are working on the Council's largest committee.

Among the issues to be considered by the sub-committees are the distinction between the A.B. and S.B. degrees, the value of the General Education courses now being offered and the chance for improvement in the present overcrowded survey courses. Easing of the language requirements for returning veterans, and the tutorial system are also under the scrutiny of the committee.

A.B.S.B. Degrees

The first group will consider whether the College should continue to distinguish between the A.B. and S.B. degrees, and whether the present requirements for the two degrees should remain. Robert S. Sturgis '44, President of the CRIMSON, will be chairman of this board.

Appraising the value of the courses now being given in General Education is the task of the sub-committee presided over by Kuhn. A sampling of student opinion will be taken, forums will be held in the Houses, and the committee plans to publish a precis of the General Education plan.

Improvement of the present large survey courses, and the question of why the College has had difficulty in obtaining competent section men, plus an inquiry into their pay scale, will occupy the third board. Leslie Ritner '45 will serve as chairman.

Vets Language Requirement

The fourth group will consider the language requirements for veterans. A further report will be made on the progress of the tutorial system.

A suggested course in history of religion and its contribution to western civilization will be examined by a sub-committee under James Buxbaum '49.
