says ottervik i don't see us at a point to make a decision but i would hope that we get to that point soon said vice-provost eric v ottervik about the proposed law school the president and his staff are not fully convinced however that there is a long term needed in pennsylvania for another law school he added ottervik said there are still some problems before any final decision on the law school issue can be made citing the cost of the building as one of the main questions ottervik said it would have to be large enough to contain the library seating for at least 60 percent of the school's students classrooms and faculty offices another factor would be the cost of ihe books cost of books according to dean brian brockway the cost of an average law book is about 13 if you multiply the cost of each book by what we expect to start with the first year you find that it adds up to a considerable sum of capital brockway said brockway added that he hopes the university will receive contributions of books in order to start a library hofstra university saved a significant amount of capital by receiving contributions of books lo their library he said the actual cost oi the law school could range anywhere from hofstra s 580,000 to georgetown university's 9-million complex library as nucleus brockway former dean of the detroit university law school expressed a hope that a law school if established at lehigh would rank in at least the top quartile of all law school in the country the library is the nucleus of any law school and to attain a high degree of quality we would like to have 80.000 to 113,000 volumes in the library after the first year he said i expect it will be the best law library north of philadelphia east of harrisburg and south of cornell and new york city commented brockway no-gryphon experiment is silly claims campbell the proposed residence halls council experiment of having several integrated ireshman-upperclass houses without gryphons was called silly by dean of residence clarence b campbell speaking at a residence subcommittee meeting wednesday campbell contended i hat such an experiment would prove nothing he said that too many variables enter into a freshman's life for any con clusions to be drawn about the need for a gryphon campbell said that a freshman may very well indicate that he is satisfied with his first year without a gryphon however he noted students definitions of satisfaction differ campbell said the basic question is whether or not there should be a person or persons responsible for incoming students he added that he does not feel living groups will meet this responsibility there is no way you can get an amor phous house a group of people to accept a responsibility and hold them to it he said he said that most upperclass houses have demonstrated that they don't really care about freshmen in agreement with campbell ruth hurley associate dean of student life said she has been overwhelmed by the lack of concern of upperclassmen for freshmen she said the university should not ab dicate its responsibility to incoming i reshmen gryphon counseling should be available to students ms hurley said adding that she could not support the rhc proposal until she saw greater upperclass concern lor freshmen hal koplin 73 forum representative to the trustees suggested that integrated houses that do not want a gryphon should speak with campbell individually rich conway 74 residence subcommittee chairman said beardslee does not want a gryphon next year koplin said that beardslee should present campbell with a detailed proposal describing how specific individuals will assume certain gryphon responsibilities in other residence subcommittee business campbell cited figures in dicating that 28 students who want university housing next year may not be able to get it the figures came from a preliminary preference questionnaire completed by students last semester the figures pertain only to men campbell said campbell noted that there has been a b&w photo by 808 batcheler dean clarence b campbell singapore prime minister named eighth annual blaustein lecturer by steve glickstein

motion to lower language rule will be made a motion to change the foreign language requirement to a maximum of 10 credit hours is on the agenda for the next arts and science college faculty committee meeting said professor of history charles l tipton chairman of the committee the proposed motion created by douglas d feaver professor of classics and edna s deangeli associate professor of classics argues that though of great importance to certification of language competency proficiency is not necessary to the concept of distribution mrs deangeli said that the number of credit hours does not necessarily deter mine the amount of knowledge gained in a language as stated in the proposed motion the level of proficiency will be determined by the appropriate language department i see no reason why it wouldn't pass now she said noting that it is somewhat stronger than the motion of two years ago which failed to pass by a narrow margin the proposal of two years ago required fewer credit hours than the present one see motion page 5 see lee page 4 see experiment page 4
