B.G.S. work too easy,profssay
By RICK HELLMAN Staff Renorter
Many KU faculty agree that requirements for degree candidacy should be tightened in the College of Liberal Arts according to Robert Colb, dean of the college.
Cobb said yesterday that proposal tightening requirements now under consideration by the College Assembly would probably be modified at an Assembly meeting March 24, but that he hopes the students "butter the baby out with the batwater"
Cobb said he hoped a proposal would be ready for a vote before the Assembly's next regularly scheduled meeting April 1.
The proposal now before the assembly would make minor changes to the course requirements for a B.A. degree in English, or complete three courses in English, a course in Speech
Communications and Human Relations and at least one math course beyond Math 002.
THE MAJOR CHANGE in the proposal would be the extension of these same requirements to the B.G.S. degree. As it stands now, candidates for the B.G.S. degree, the traditional distribution requirement and have a total of 124 hours with a 2.0 grade point average.

WALLACE JOHNSON, professor of East Asian studies, believes that the B.G.S. degree is not working out.
Crockett said, "Until we get some kind of information that would lead me to believe the program is failing [would be for it."
But Crockett is in the minority. According to Cobb, most faculty members favor tougher requirements for the B.G.S., if not the elimination of the degree.
"My feeling is that students need a certain amount of guidance," Johnson said, yesterday, "and with the B.G.S. there is no guidance."
Johnson said, however, that only a few
Anthony Genova, chairman of the philosophy department, said he thought that even students favored tightening degree requirements.
faculty members supported his stand on the B.G.S.
"I realize students would like to avoid foreign language, for instance, but more and more students are becoming aware that their secondary part of their education." Genova said.
Genova also expressed concern that the B.G.S. degree would be a detriment to students who plan on graduate study.
"I think it's a fact," he said, "that graduate and law schools look askance at the B.G.S. degree."
