no planning is carried out at lehigh i do suspect however that it is incomplete and not sufficiently coor dinated and furthermore mat the faculty are not sufficiently involved in tlie operation lewis

college of arts and science once it leaves tliere hunt mid it mm '■ ' goes back to the administrative level and is discussed back and forth among ad ministrators the concern of edpol hunt said is to prevent issues from moving upward m the administration hierarchy by resoiving them on the lower tovtls moreover the administration should decrease com petition between departments by en couraging

have given 10 times the information obtained by the report in the coiiege cf business and economics there is faculty involvement m planning to some degree according to richard bareness dean of the college i think it's fair to say that although the faculty would participate m very productive ways m many aspects of planning when it came down to a final choice of priorities they wouldn't go on the line bareness said edwin kay associate professor of psychology said one of the things i saw is that imperatives seem to wane ac cording to the season and weather he added that he and other faculty
