a minimum proficiency exam. Students who wish to transfer credit from another school also would be required to pass a minimum proficiency exam.
The push for a Universitywide core curriculum began after the 1981 release of a Report on Improvement of Undergraduate Education.
The report recommended, among other things, that the University establish a core curriculum and a committee to study the possibility of such a program.
"I'm satisfied that it is a careful review of
Domer said, "It takes a long time to get an agreement on basic minima on undergraduate study. The University is big. It takes time to get faculty to agree on things. And with something of this magnitude it takes a while."
DOMER SAID HE thought faculty discussion on the curriculum had not yet begun.
"There's been some talk among faculty
bout it," she said. "But several points
painfully will be said."
a lot of different alternatives. There is no single best curriculum. This one makes a lot of sense. I think it can be improved with input from everyone."
James Moeser, dean of the school of fine arts, said he hoped the proposal would be passed despite the fact that it may create problems for some students in his school.
Some adjustments may have to be made, and those must also be adjusted in four years, he said.
Moeser said the new curriculum would
affect those students seeking a specialized degree, such as a Bachelor's of music, more than those adjustments might stop students from graduating in four years, he said.

WILLIAM SMITH, acting dean of the school of engineering, said he supported the proposal because its requirements almost
matched current engineering school requirements.
Before the proposal is enacted, it will be discussed by faculty members, Domer said. In April, the office of academic affairs will campuswide debates on the proposal.
Arno Knapper, chairman of University Senate Executive Committee, said that after the faculty had responded to the proposal, the committee would revise it and turn it over to Faculty Council.
Loans

as to how much federal financial aid they could obtain each year.
The $4,000 ceiling, Rogers said, would especially hurt out-of-state students, who make up 25 percent of the KU student population. The estimated total cost of attending the University of Kansas next year is $1,687,025 and $7,025 for out-of-state students he said.
With the ceiling, out-of-state students would need about $3,000 more to attend KU next year
Marty Wall, Parkville, Mo., junior, said the proposal would affect him considerably.
"I'M HURTING SEVERELY now. My family's income is on the borderline. When Reagan made the cuts two years ago, it kept me from getting the Pell," he said. "It could hurt me more. I'm out of state, and the only reason I'm here is because of financial aid."
Although Mary Beth Hawkins, Kansas City, Kan., senior has received guaranteed student loans and Pell Grants throughout his career, Reagan. "He's got to cut back somewhere."
If the proposal were approved, she said,
she would not be affected because she is
graduating in May.
However, she said her younger sisters would be affected by the proposal because they needed financial aid to further their education.
"If he's going to do that, he should start a summer work program," she said.
THE LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK, 647 Massachusetts St., has financed about 1,000 KU guaranteed student loans in the past two years and is filling a assistant vice president of the bank.
Dreiling said Reagan's proposal would decrease the number of loans at his bank. He said that the president had
student loans would suffer. Students usually cannot qualify for other loan programs, he said, because they cannot show the ability to repay the loans.
In addition to the guaranteed student loan and Pell Grant programs, Rogers said other financial aid programs would be affected if Reagan's proposal were approved.
The hardest hit program, he said, would be the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. These grants are allocated from the federal government to universities to distribute to needy students.
"REAGAN IS GEARED to totally wipe it
out," Rogers said. "If he recommended to wipe it out, it would mean $450,000 that we're not going to have."
The National Direct Student Loan program also could be affected by the proposal, Rogers said. The program is financed by collections from student loans made over the years. The federal government contributes a small amount to the program.
Rogers said he did not foresee any damaging effects to the College Work Study Program, which provides campus jobs to students and pays them with money chipped in by the federal government.
THE MITSUBISHI
A BARGAIN NO PATRIOT SHOULD BYPASS
One dictionary defines a bargain as "an agreement between parties settling what each gives or receives in a transaction between them or what course of action or policy each pursues in respect to the other". During each of this country's wars this century, a bargain was struck which left a distinct minority overtly serving the country while the majority continued working and living in relative security.
Since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 formally ended American participation in a complex and controversial war, there have been almost 600 eyewitness accounts and over 2,300 second-hand reports of Americans being held against their will in Southeast Asia. Although the evidence submitted demonstrates that some of the nearly 2,500 U.S. servicemen and civilians categorized as missing in action are alive and suffering at the hands of their Communist captors, quite a few Americans are unwilling even to sign Project Prairie Fire's petition asking President Reagan to do his utmost to gain their release.
Has life in the world's foremost democracy left many of us unable to recognize a bargain no patriot should bypass?
