Changes in B.A. Sought
Proposals before the College Assembly would attempt to broaden the bachelor of arts degree and make it more useful within a framework of required courses.
The proposals, drawn up by the Educational Policies and Procedures Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will be discussed by the assembly at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Woodruff Auditorium.
The proposed requirement changes were drawn up with the help of an alumni survey. The survey polled 6,951 alumni on their opinions of B.A. degree requirements.
Of the 36 per cent who responded, the more recent graduates of the college tended to oppose requirements. More of them than any other age group would reduce or eliminate the English, speech and foreign language requirements.
Teachers and business executives attached the greatest value of the required work to English and the executives thought it was too much.
More than 60 per cent of the graduates in business occupations would increase the speech requirement, but less than 30 per cent of all others have the same view.
Fifty-two per cent of the alumni who have graduated since 1963 would decrease or eliminate the foreign language requirement, while only 35 per cent who graduated before 1963 would eliminate it. In 1963, the language requirement was made mandatory.
fifty-one per cent of those who graduated before 1863 were satisfied with their education.
After 1963 when the language requirement was increased, 47 per cent were satisfied and 32 per cent, dissatisfied. Humorism and other, as well.

The 1951-to-present age group was the only one required to take Western Civilization. Of this group, 64 per cent said it was fairly or very valuable.
The tendency was to consider the required courses in their major fields to be based on these.

was less satisfied with the requirement as
applied today. Only 42 per cent of this group

2 Choppers Shot At Over South Vietnam
SAIGON (AP)—Communist forces fired at two helicopters reportedly on peacekeeping missions early today, inflicting damage on one that forced it to land, official sources said.

Meat Ceiling Prices To Be Posted Today
PROPOSED B.A.—No change.
B.G.S.—Same as B.A.
The posting requirement applies to all but the smallest stores, those with annual revenues of $100,000 or less. The Cost of Living Council said many small grocery stores would be faced with significant posting requirements for the first time.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Grocery stores must have signs posted at their meat counters today showing legal ceiling prices for beef, pork and lamb.

The Kansas Senate also approved, 31 to 7, a bill repositioning the Kansas House of Representatives and sent it to the governor. This bill will change the Douglas County (48th district), Lloyd Buzzi (49th district), and Michael Glover (44th district).
For any particular cut, such as stileton steak or chuck roast, the posted celling price will mean the store will be able to go no higher than the price listed on the sign.
Requests Exceed Projected Funds
There are different requirements for canned or bottled beef, pork or lamb or

products such as stew or soup containing meat. The ceiling prices of the 10 best-selling items from this section of the store must be posted.
All of the items containing beef, pork and lamb are subject to the ceilings. A store must have a list available to consumers located in a convenient spot so they can check ceiling prices of all brands. There is a dedicated section for the location of this ceiling price information.
The 45th district will incorporate the townships of Kanwaka and Lecompton presently represented by John Bower of district 46.
If a consumer thinks the posted ceiling price is illegal, the Cost of Living Council says that "before running to the Internal Revenue Service, you should charge of that department if that's an accurate price. If there isn't a satisfactory answer, call the IRS. But note any pertinent information—the price asked, whether are signs, the name and address of the store.
Then, the IRS says it will investigate to determine if there is a violation. It could
