On bearing about Miner's recent appointment to USM. Dr. Neil Humphrey. Chancellor of the University of Nevada, said, Pro . Went Miller u a highly respected man who has accomplished a great deal and will be mused by all persons associated with the Uni- versity of Nevada, Reno.

The latest to gmpple with the problems of SCO- GlS u Dr Edwin Hansen, a theater and communication teacher. Hansen pul forth his rrasent for accepting the difficult assign- ment this way.

Hie first major test will come next month as ha goes be- fore the University Council to justify the existence of SCOGlS in the near future. Hansen a! c plans to confer with the new president. N. Edd Miller, about the interdisciplinary school. “Our biggest problem at this point is not knowing whether we «rill b? alive next year ” Another suable headache stems from the waves of incomplete that occured in some SCOGlS courses lost semester There were many incomplete last yea: and some instructors disappeared. We've had to play detective to track them down. He believes he ha remedied this situation from happening a- gairs. We're alerting the cows waders of the importance of having lew incomplete . We’re trying to make ure the student finish the work in the time al- lotted. It’s mainly a matter of supervision We won’t let It h:.p- pen again ” The twenty-three year ve- teran of the teaching war is also trying to stem the tide of criti- cism against student generated courses by vome member of li t faculty. My recommendation to course leaden was to improve their own background in the firWT to seek the advice of experienc'd faculty in the field We wanted to strengthen the role of the course leader.” When discussing the future of the school, the new Direc- tor alternately displayed optimism and pessimism. On Use former he said, We had no problems getting students and teacher . Till» semester we have new rmine leader Faculty are still rvcievtng released time. Student are still being enabled to see a larger pic- ture of education and not a nar- rower one.” On the reverse side, he was unsure. 'T honestly don’t know whether this is our lost year or not. If the program is dropped, the conjecture would be to go in a period of study of what to do next. When queried as to the length of his term of office, he replied I’m acting director until the program ends. Hansen’s predecessor. Ne- ville Wilson believes he still would be in the role of Director of SCOGlS if it had not been for external pressum.

The Chancellor, the President» and their staffs have review the third category of substantive policy issues in light of prior recommenda- tions by the HEP Commission, and decisions by the Board of Trustees, the legislature, and the people of the Stale. The Board of Trustees must re- sponsibly consider many factors In deciding issues facing the University of Maine In addition to economic costs and benefits, human, social, cultural and .geographical influence must enter any decisions involving educational opportunity for all our dtirens.
