Howard Baumgartel, professor of psychology and head of the Educational Policy Department of the EPPC, discussed the curricula reform movement and John A. Landgrebe, chairman of the head of the degree requirements subcommittee of the EPPC, discussed the pros and cons of the proposed general education curriculum for the Faculty Forum Wednesday.

a shift to more specialized
schools.
The 1960-70 era was a new period of reform in higher education. Baumgartte said. The movement, which attended universities and colleges and the fact that persons have differing motivations for being in school partially accounted for this reform movement, he said.
He said that some of the themes of curriculum reform were more autonomy in scheduling courses and choosing of curricula, relevance in studies, more interesting courses, new courses in teaching, international departments and changes in the grading and credit systems.
He said the B.S.G. degree would allow students to earn a degree without having to declare it, but he said not to choose a major would be up to each student, and those choosing majors would be required to follow the established requirements of the department but would have no
Landgrebe talked about the proposed B.S.G. degree.
Progress Goal of New Class
A B.S.G. degree would require the same number of hours and grade points as presently required for B.A. and B.S.
The latter would require 40 hours of courses numbered 80 or above. Landkreife said
He presented arguments for and against the proposed degree. Arguments for the B.S.G. degree it would not be much different from degrees currently recognized at other schools, that it would provide for a more advanced curriculum. Students want a more open curriculum, that there is presently little agreement as to what the requirements for a B.S.G. degree students would be allowed to study more thorough areas of interest to them, because there would be no limit on the number of courses could take in a particular area.
Arguments against the B.S.G. degree included remarks that it might be regarded as an intimidation to employers, that the achievement

"If the (B.S.G.) degree is

Three courses, all in the humanities, natural sciences and mathematics for B.S. or B.S. degrees, Landgrabe said. There would be no requirements in English language, foreign languages, lab courses, civilization or mathematics studies for those students choosing to pursue a B.S.G. degree. However, students with major in a specific field (B.A. and B.S. degrees) would still have to comply with the requirements of their departments.
