College experiment needs participants
A committee attempting to develop an experimental college program is looking for student participants, according to Norman Yetman, chairman of the department of American Studies and head of the planning committee for the program.
Yetman said yesterday student participation was essential because the committee would be making decisions on courses, requirements, instructor selection and the direction of the experimental college.
The committee to investigate the new subcollege was formed after several faculty members expressed interest in pursuing the degree in the University's colleges into smaller units.
The recommendation to study the alternative programs available in an experimental college was approved by the College Assembly last year.
Yetman said he had been interested in innovative education for several years.
"Often the cohesiveness of a small college is attractive to students," Vetland said. "They find going to a big university an often anonymous type of existence."
Other problems encountered in large universities cited in the recommendation were inadequate lines of communication, distortion in listening and disassociated learning experiences.
Yetman said he hoped the experimental college would break down these barriers and create a greater familiarity among students and with the University.
The experimental college would probably
have its headquarters in Nunemaker College, Yellentm say. About 250 new students would be admitted to the program each year with a maximum enrollment of
Yetman said he hoped to have the completed recommendation before the College Assembly by spring 1976. If the program was approved, then enroll as participants by fall 1977.
This is an optimistic outlook on the future of the experimental college, he said.
The program would operate on a trial basis for four years and would be evaluated by the College Assembly, which could either confirm or not confirm it as a permanent program.
Yetman said each member of the committee had different views on how the experimental college should be operated. Suggestions of making it a combined B.A. program with the computer science and making it a three-year program are only two of many ideas to be considered.
The planning committee is composed of faculty members, administrators and students who will develop the precise nature and requirements of the experimental
retman said he preferred to have sophomores or juniors on the committee so they would be able to serve for more than one year.
Students interested in working on the planning committee should either write Yetman through the department of Studies or call her college chairman.

Newspapers must admit errors, editor says
Fear of losing credibility with the public has prompted an adoption of a stricter code of ethics by newspapermen, the managing editor of the Milwaukee Journal said yesterday.
Joseph W. Shoquest, the editor, said that to improve their credibility, newspapers should admit to errors. Reporters and editors shouldn't accept gifts or awards from companies he accents or sports events from their news sources, he says.
Shoqiust, chairman of the Professional Standards Committee of the University of Managery Managing Editor, will be he thought former Spire Espiro
Agnew had caused some loss of credibility for newspapers.
"We want to make some sense out of the whole contest jungle," he said.
Surveys of editors have shown that ethical standards of the profession changed greatly during the past two years. Sojourn is one of them.
Judges of some contests aren't specialist or don't have enough time to judge a contest proper. Shoulien said.
He said his committee also was considering the vanquity of some contest that newspapers enter, such as the New York Times.
Joostisquit said he didn't think that reporters and editors become actively involved in public events, especially in the political arena.
He said newspapers should take political stands, but shouldn't help political campaigns.
"The reader understands that editorial staffs have interviewed the candidates and made decisions regarding their qualifications."
Shoquist said many reporters on the Milwaukee Journal were highly specialized in the fields that they covered.
Shoquist began working for the Journal in 1955 and has been managing editor since 1967.
