Kathy Friend: On the whole, his proposals for more independ ent study on the part or the students are good ones. How- ever, i wonder if the students are prepared for this degree of academic freedom. Heide Wolker: I think his proposals are very good. but it will take several years to pul them through Paul Coilrtright: I agree with him in general about the em- phasis on comprehensive edu- cation. By living in a technical age where the emphasis is or speleiC education, there is a need tor students with a broad philosophical background to have an understanding tor the problems of our age and to solve them. I like the idea ot- shilting responsibility more on the student Linda Guthrie: I think that they are great ideas and i hope they can be put into effect soon. This creative approach should hopefully be put into ef- fest immediately.
