WEDNESDAY. MARCH 4. 1959 Senate to Vote On 5-Year Plan The University Senate will consider final approval of a 5-year liberal arts-engineering curriculum tomorrow. The Senate will meet at -4 p.m. in 121 Sparks. The curriculum proposal will go before Senate in its original form, that of the first three years essentially in' liberal arts courses and the ,last two in engineering courses. A student would receive both a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of science degrees at the end of five years. However, in order to vote on the proposed curriculum, the Sen ators will have to abolish a present 'regulation forbidding students from working for two degrees at the same time. A present Senate regulation for undergraduate students states: "A student who desires to earn a second bachelor's degree may not take the periods of residence for the first and for the second degree concurrently." A recommendation to abolish this ruling will be made by Arthur D. Brickmare chairman of the Senate Committee on Academic Standards. The ruling would prevent the liberal arts-engineering program or any other such planned curri culum.

The seminar is described as "designed. to stimulate wider dis cussion of teaching on the cam pus." It is sponsored by the Of fice of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

PENNSYLVANIA In support of the recommenda tion, -a report of the academic' standards committee says the committee believes the University should encourage the broader ed ucational objectives involved in preparing for more than one 'undergraduate degree. The curriculum to be pre sealed tomorrow was brought before Senate earlier and re turned to the two colleges for reconsideration. Th e Senate suggested a more integrated curriculum rather than the three years of liberal arts courses and two of engineering. Dr. Phillip A. Shelley, chairman of the Senate Committee on Courses of Study, said yesterday that this was considered before it was presented the first time. Both college faculties again !favored the original program he said, and it will be presented in that form. increase is inevitable due to the rising cost of operating the government, he said—even without adding appreciable new services. _ This year's rise in the budget is attributed to salary increases, additional employes and new equipment and the consistently higher costs of all materials and services the Borough must se cure. An increase of one mill had been proposed to pay for re moval of snow from sidewalks. One mill of tax brings in the $6500 which would cover the, ccst of the snow service.
