startling results by dr w doming lewis university president who also has announced the creation of a committee on the quality of university life to do further investigation the report reveals that " incoming students to the university are more conservative in political and social views and less con cerned with social and aesthetic matters than a national sample of their college peers secondly students already in residence per ceive the university as one in which a practical instrumental emphasis is the predominant concern likewise the institution is perceived as possessing an aura of cool detachment collectively undemonstrative and somewhat insensitive to creative aesthetic interests finally scholarship is perceived as less characteristic of the university environment than that hold to be normative by a national sample of college sad university students the study was financed by a 1,000 appropriation from dr lewis two summers ago the original members of the committee were chairman

examine its findings andrew edmiston professor of education wayne kraft professor of metallurgy paul miller assistant protestor of education and sutton monro professor of industrial en gineering lewis said that among the " startling results of the report was the fact that certain opinions of university students *' are very far from the norm the thing that is difficult to decide is whether this is good or bad being a little critical is a good thing look at our graduates our students are more successful than those of most other schools the committee on the quality of university lift is being cre ated said lewis because no one has been looking into the area of student activities the committee will investigate such areas as the kinds of ex tracurricular activities that eaw whether there are enough or too many cultural events on campus the desirability of more lee turers and faculty-student contact outside of the classroom the goal of the committee will be to inquire how the non academic part of the lehigh experience can be made more meaningful lewis said that the committee on environmental study and the administration agree that interesting things have bee turned up in the study but there were no definite clues oa what to do there have been no calls to action yet agreeing that the report contained food bast fide data lewis has asked the committee to make suggestions with a scien
