Discussion also began yesterday on the academic advisory system, since the success of the guidelines program is contingent upon a vastly improved advising system.
The Faculty would suggest guidelines for distribution of undergraduate work.
The second alternative proposed would replace the current requirements with a general distribution requirement. Under this arrangement the student would take at least two half courses in each of the three fields currently established: humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.
The CUE views the two different alternatives not as precise formulations but rather as expressions of two differing philosophies of general education. Tilden and Steven R. Bowman '72 said the Committee wants both Faculty and students to become aware of the issues involved in making this change.
On Wednesday these same two alternatives were discussed in a joint meeting of the Faculty Council and the CUE. In that meeting, the second alternative was discussed at length. At the conclusion of the combined meeting, there was equal support for both alternatives.
