UConn branches in Hartford and Stamford, the Storrs campus is the only public institution of higher education in the state that offers graduate degrees. Ferguson said Tuesday, "We can not approach the 1980's and assume that any individual who could want a doctorate will come to UConn at Storrs." Ferguson said he has ideas for offering specialized and graduate programs at all five branches. Ferguson said he has learned that UConn should take the initiative in providing programs elsewhere in the state from the "Stamford initiative" in which the legislature forced UConn to take steps making the branch a four year baccalaureate granting institution. In the future, the president hopes UConn "will not wait for legislative action" to respond to the educational wants and needs of Connecticut's people. UConn "must insure that the citizens in populous areas in the state must have viable programs" in higher education, according to Ferguson. Ferguson said he is "looking University President Glenn Ferguson swears in (from left) Bart Russell as Chariman, and Karen Larsen, Peter Marsh and Dave carefully" at the possibility of having Gallogly as officers of the Central Committee of the Federation of Students and Service Organizations.
