No. 5 November 17, 1966 Controversy Created By Education Report By JOHN PLUN.KiE'IT .

The re­ port, based on the study by the A.E.D., has been the target of mixed feelings by the institutions and students affected by the proposals. Most opinions are ad­ verse to the recommendations. The fact is that many of the people who find fault with the report are unfamiliar with its actual content and future aims. The Maine 102nd Legislature appointed the Commission to employ "a di­ rector and such other consultative, statistical and clerical services" to carry out a comprehensive study of higher edu-cation in the State of Maine.
