Wednesday. April 5. 1972 University Daily Kansan 5 General Study Degree Proposed By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN Institution of a General Studies Degree (BGS) and alterations in the speech, foreign language and reading skills requirements will be among the topics discussed at a College University campus Saturday in the Kansas Union. The Educational Procedures and Policies Committee (EPPC) of the College Assembly is to meet with faculty members. Following group discussions in the morning, a panel will summarize the ideas and proposals. Gus Dl Zerega, Wichita graduate student who is an assistant instructor in Western Education at EPPC, open耳鼻喉壁 would take place in the weeks following the workshop. By fall 1972, the KSUEP had required requirement changes, he said. STEVE, LUSK, Wichita, State University would say any changes in requirements or degree options probably would not go into effect before fall 1973. The Kansas Board of Regents will continue by the assembly, he said, and some departments may experience budget ramifications of the teaching staffs. Two plans for a BGS degree have been formulated BGS No. 6. retains the major and distribution requirements in order to insure a broad model leaves selection of nearly all courses entirely to the student and his adviser. BGS No. 1 would require a minimum of 24 credit hours in the student's major field, 12 of which must be offered by majors and sophomores. Eight junior-senior hours in the major field may be offered in residence. The JUNIOR AIMS distribution requirement of four courses in each of the areas of humanities, social sciences, and mathematics departments in each area would be represented. The 124 hour requirement presently needed to graduate with a BA degree would be retained under the BGS program. The requirement would include 60 hours of courses numbered 50 and 40 of these hours must be required that have a prerequisite. BGS N. 2 would have the same hours requirements for graduation, but would eliminate the major and distribution effects. In effect, the student could enroll in 124 hours of his choice. General studies programs are in operation at several universities and colleges. The Subcommittee report furnished information about the one used at the university. THE REPORT SAID 9 per cent of students in the College at the University of Michigan have received a degree. University officials predict that eventually 12 to 15 students will select the BGS program A preliminary evaluation of the BGS program at the University of Michigan suggested that a larger number of superior students would be纳入 the program as it gains in respectability and acceptance. A survey at the University of Michigan revealed that students in the BGS program showed more creativity and imagination than students in the conventional program but had lower grade point averages. The Degree Requirements Subcommittee recommended the graduation taught in two three-hour discussion and or lecture courses, with a comprehensive term course to replace the comprehensive examination. Subcommittee recommended an African Civilization for either the first or second course in Western Civilization was also Civilization program combining the essential aspects of Eastern, Western and African civilization would be presented according to the concepts it brings than in chronological order. ol Young on Carter in Manley barnhart sergerdes add Joye mug Delano DI ZEREGA PROPOSED a four-semester Western DI Zerega suggested the comprehensive examination be revised in order to give the first three courses and a paper following the course but outcrops learned in Western Civilization with the student's Several options for filling the language requirement have been suggested. One would involve abandonment of the proficiency required in courses or hours of course work. Another proposal called for replacement of the final three hours of the language requirement with two courses, one of which is relevant to the student's language specialty. A student could also enroll in the first two courses of language and combine the remainder of his requirement with three culture courses. Sentiment on retention of the speech requirement in about 50 per cent of assembly members favoured abolishing the 40 per cent requirement per cent desired to retain it. REASONS FOR retaining and alternating the requirement have been presented to the Degree Requirements Subcommittee and will be issued. The Degree Requirements Subcommittee report said the reasons for maintaining the degree in psychology are compelling than those for instituting one in any other field, for example, psychology or economics. UKSAR said proposals to make use of four-year subcolleges in university suggestions for liberalizing the degree requirements. He said the UCSB would not participate in these Because of the lenient exemption requirements, he said, the only people enrolled in basic speech need or desire them, he said. Donn Parson, associate professor of speech and drama, said that communications skills were vital to a liberal education. subcolleges on a continuum of liberality of requirements. Instead of being assigned to a CWC on the basis of his living arrangements, Lusk said, the student would choose the CWC program most suited to his needs. The program permitted to change CWC with minimum of red tape if his academic plans changed, he said. Supt. Wallace Gallucci announced Monday that Haskell Indian Junior College had come in 2014 and plans to he step closer to accreditation. Gallucci had just returned from Chicago, where he appeared in the Central Association of College Secondary Schools. He said the board was satisfied with the progress Haskell had made and that he would fulfill full accreditation. He said Haskell would now enter into a phase called "recognized can- Haskell Nearer Accreditation 300 mph Machine Lacks Own Power It is Pi Tau Sigma's rapid transit air impulse turbine vehicle which will be displayed in the Exposition Engineering Expo April 17.

He said the board may have made improvements that could be made. Gallucci had he said no improvements on the board would suggest. Richard Brock, Topeka, senior, in mechanical engineering, who built the model for the Expo said that the vehicle had "roughly the carrying capacity of present" capid transit transportation. tracks and push the car along. At chosen sites there will be an air compression station and storage tanks. Geofarth said the system's pollution output was practically negligible and utilized relatively low air pressure. He added that this system's power usage was 80 to 90 per cent efficient, while that the internal combustion engines was only about 60 percent. The car has stationary blades on it like those of a turbine. The blades are struck by compressed air from nozzles mounted on the The air impulse turbine vehicle has a natural air conditioning system. The compressed air released as the car passes through the tunnel, He also observed that many transit systems are now going underground, and said the steam boiler was been the ventilation of the turbine. This step requires that the college hire a consultant who will aid the administration in making an in-depth study of itself on the board would allow Haskell's years to complete the study. Brock said that the model used in the Expo would run on a 34-foot track but that the real vehicle probably ride on a cushion of 8 inches. The third and final step, according to Gallucci, will involve a research team going to Haskell to look over facilities and toermine whether measures toward improvement have been taken. If the research team is satisfied, Gallucci said, he will go back to Chicago a third time to full accreditation for Haskell. available to the school as well as to the students. Galluart said he will continue to receive more financial aid from the Health, Education and Science Department. The total process, which began in September, should be completed in four or five years, Colucci said.

The presence of the three elements is the important point." he said.

"But the longer a couple spend as man and wife, it will be to persuade the court." By ANITA KNOPP Kansan Staff Writer Those involved in this life style do not often question the legality of your decisions, and perhaps possibility exists that they could be liable one way or another by Men and women who have chosen the revolutionary—or presequestered life style of rejecting formal marriage as a prerequisite for marriage, will find a fine line between being married by Kansas common law In the case of common law marriages, a couple could be legally married in 24 hours if the couple is a married couple and a common law marriage are met. Those elements are very simply the capacity to marry, perhaps not to be married, and holding oneself out to the public as married. THE CAPACITY to marry means that the couple in question meet state standards for a married marriage, including age (18) and mental and physical capacity, and no prior binding marriages. For those couples who do not consider themselves married, they may be in a Cohabitation, a misdemeanor in Kansas, is defined as "any person living together as man or woman state without being married." consummated to be valid. For most University students, capacity to marry is not a problem. The present intent to marry is the most important question. The court rules that the couple involved make some sort of agreement, verbal or otherwise, each other that they are married and does not mean a promise to marry in the future, the courts say, as long as the man and wife in the present. It has been on this point that most marriage suits have been defeated. FINALLY, THE COUPLE must act as man and wife before the public. Criteria for this could include having a joint checking accounts, filing joint income tax documents, moving apartments or motels as men and wife, or putting married names on legal documents. In the most recent case involving common law marriage heard in January 1971, the man and woman involved had lived with each other for 22 months as man and wife, but the court ruled that no evidence did not exist because no present intention could be established Surprisingly, the court has made no stipulation on the amount a woman must spend together before common law marriage is THE IMPLICATIONS of these two laws may sound more ominous than they are. In the case involved in a court, one party involved in the situation brought the suit, or the case involved a minor. In very many cases, an unlawful marriage or unlawful cohabitation been proved. It carries a penalty of a fine of not less than $500 and more than $1,000. a jail sentence of not less than $200 and not more than three months. "It's difficult to say whether something less than common law marriage, but more than a temporary sharing of quarters, under the unlawful cobitation rule," the spokesman said. A SPOKESMAN from the Kansas Attorney General's office said that a gray area still exists as to what could be judged as cohabitation. No case involving cohabitation has been taken to court, so there are no black letter stipulations about the law. It would be difficult to guess how many KU students would come under the cohabitation laws. He said the law was unclear as to what entailed "living together as man and wife." He said this might include an implied marital bond, as well as a sign, bedting, signing as man and wife any type of marital relationship. Quinn and the other two professors who teach the course, Foster and Frank Nelick, said that touch with the academic environment at KU and that this reason the symposium was conducted. *Continued from page 1* according to Schoenleber.

The union of parents and students in a serious educational pursuit is one of three purposes of a retreat planned for the Pearson University program, Dennis Quinn, college director, Pearson College, said Tuesday. "The students have shown the mismatch enthusiasm the program requires. The program letters from parents expressing anxiety to attend" Quinn said.
