SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1961 Senate Degree A complete new definition and statement of policy con cerning the associate degree program will be presented to the Senate at its November meeting by the educational policy committee, Chairman John J. Schanz, said yesterday. The new policy, which is sub ject to the approval of the Senate, defines two types of associate degree programs, Schanz said. One is occupational or terminal In nature, he said, such as that which is offered at present, and the other is a broader pro gram which would provide prep aration for continued education. The latter type would probably be programs leading to an as sociate degree in arts or in sci ence, Schanz said. He explained that these programs are not yet in existence but could be initiated by a college if the policy is ap proved by the Senate. These general associate de grees may be awarded to stu dents who find it necessary to interrupt their college career after Iwo years with little hope of continuing their education, Schanz said. He said that students who meet the credit and average re quirements will be able to ap ply for these degrees so "that they will have something to show for two years." However, the purpose of the proposed change of policy is to give a special identity to these general associate degree and not to make a "consolation prize for those who cannot earn baccalaure ate degrees," Schanz said. - He added that these degrees would not be automatically award ed after two years to everyone as they are at the University of Chicago. Schanz said that the commit tee's proposal states that the Uni versity remains primarily con cerned with baccalaureate instruc -3 Letter Writers Explain Complaint Three men from Nittany 34 were called before their area co ordinator on Thursday to explain their charge, made in a letter to The Daily Collegian, that they were stopped by a University of ficial from demonstrating for a three day Thanksgiving vacation et the Syracuse football game. Peter Sapsara, Ray Pignitor and Richard Reiss, president, vice president, and resident, respective ly, of Nittany 34, said last night that they were told they should have had more concrete proof that the man who stopped them was a University official before making such an accusation. "We are going to make every effort to find out who the person was," Sapsara said, "and I think the University will help us." "If we can't find him, I feel we should print a statement re tracting our accusation. With no proof, we haven't the right to accuse the University of such an act." he said.
