2 Monday was devoted to discussing curriculum, grading and testing, advisor-advisee relation­ ships, and, of major interest to the sociology stu­ dents, hiring, firing and tenure. Tuesday morning was devoted to meetings scheduled for the five UMO colleges, and the afternoon was left open for additional college and departmental sessions. The topics discussed during the loosely structured meetings included practically all imaginable topics from doing away with prerequisite courses, to the pass-fail system, to women's liberation and student apa­ thy (no apathetic students could be found to at­ tend this particular session). Notes and proposed ideas were channeled in­ to the Senate Office, and from these, the meas­ ures will be consolidated and submitted to the UMO population in a Referendum that will fol­ low the publication of this issue of THE ALUM­ NUS. These call for "the creation of a four-year baccalaureate degree-at-large, the abolition of all pre-requisites now required for undergradu­ ate degrees except departmental major require­ ment, the creation of student-faculty depart­ mental councils, and a restructuring of the ad- visor-advisee relationship 'so students choose their academic majors after the freshman year/ " Other key areas pointed out by Cowan in­ volve the creation of residential colleges, the for­ mation of Black Studies, Franco-American Stud­ ies, and Indian Studies departments, and the decision to either make "physical education courses more meaningful or abolish the require­ ment for all colleges." During the first day of the moratorium, Dr. James Clark, Vice President for Academic Af­ fairs, explained that no definite machinery had been set up for converting the moratorium pro­ posals into definite policy changes. But the stu­ dents have constructively organized and taken the time to have their say, and everyone is now waiting to see how the UMO administrators will respond to the April 28 referendum results. Among early responses to the students ex­ pression of interest in the future of their educa­ tion at UMO came in editorials in major news­ papers. The BANGOR DAILY NEWS said, "the students and their elders at the Orono campus did themselves—and the state—proud. Confront­ ation was set aside for constructive consultation." And the PORTLAND PRESS HERALD concluded its complimentary editorial saying, "... some­ body must be doing something right at Orono, a condition to consider when financial support of the University is discussed."

This time, here are some OPINIONS from students and a recent graduate.

WE WANT OPINIONS ... In future issues we will be glad to print OPINIONS on “How you feel the University can most effectively keep in touch with graduates" and/or “What stands out in your mind as the greatest strengths and greatest limitations of the University as you knew it?" Although we are always ready to print opinions from any alumnus, we would like especially to print OPINIONS/UNDER 30 in a future issue.

« The last Special Session of the Legislature was given a realistic picture of the physical needs of the University of Maine. These needs were accepted in good faith by the Legislature and a referendum approved for June 15 in which the public will vote on a proposed bond issue of $14.9 million. The University of Maine at Orono stands to receive $8.76 million of this amount. Buildings and facilities are not ends in themselves. But they are the first necessary step in providing an education for the in­ The Bond Issue creasing numbers of our children who must rely on the state university for the education that will fit them to compete in the days ahead. A Critical In this referendum, to put it very simply, the choice is between college or no college for many, many young people in Maine. With space and facilities, Referendum the University can be expected to do the job. Without the space and facilities that the bond issue can provide, the University cannot hope to serve the rising On June 15 tide of applicants for quality education. When you vote on June 15, yours is the choice. You can vote NO if it rep­ resents your convictions. But a YES vote is an affirmation of the belief that as the University grows, so grows the State of Maine.
