The College Eight Newsletter VOLUME V, No. 5 October 27, 1975 EDITOR: STEVE MULFORD THE ASILOMAR CONFERENCE I attended this conference as the College Eight student representative. The conference was billed as a "planning workshop" for high level UCSC administrative and academic staff, and included token student representation (one from each college). However, we did not seem to be doing much planning. Instead, various pieces of information about the future development of the campus were distributed by administrative figures. Subjects covered were (these are the highlights): 1) A discussion by Karl Lamb (Politics) of a draft document prepared for the upcoming accreditation appraisal of UCSC. This document is an institutional self-study which has been prepared, but not released, by a committee Lamb is chairing. It appears likely (the professor did no more than hint at the document's contents, discussing the campus by means of analogies only) that the document will recommend the strengthening of colleges at the expense of boards of study. Lamb also appeared to favor the adoption of a comprehensive course-labeling system; the curtailment of any further diversification of boards, majors, etc.; and the adoption of an interdisciplinary, liberal-arts orientation to undergraduate education, stressing "excellence", however he understands that. 2) A discussion by Herman Blake (Provost of Oakes) of "faculty development". Blake stressed that faculty development could not be separated from the effort to achieve "excellence" (not necessarily the same as Lamb's excellence) of instruction. Faculty should be evaluated and promoted (i.e. "developed") on the basis of their commitment both to their (Cont'd on p. 4) 1976-1977 FINANCIAL AID BULLETIN This Bulletin is for planning purposes only. Although the application forms, etc., are not yet available (PLEASE WAIT FOR A LATER BULLETIN BEFORE COMING TO THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE) , all students who intend to apply for aid for 1976-1977 should begin making plans to apply and should ask their parents, if appropriate, to do the same. Deadlines December 6, 1975: All applicants for aid who do not hold a California State Scholarship will have at least three quarters to complete are required to apply. This is the date the applications for either a State Scholarship or a College Opportunity Grant (COG) this year (75-76) and who will have at least three quarters to complete are required to apply. This is the date the applications for either a State Scholarship or a COG must be received by the Commission in Sacramento (or postmarked by this date). All applicants for either of these awards must also file a Parents' Confidential Statement with the College Scholarship Service in Berkeley by this date. The Commission grants no exceptions to this deadline. All aid applicants must apply again even if they were declared ineligible for the 75-76 academic year. The Financial Aid Office will assume all eligible applicants (residents of California) will have applied and aid will be awarded on the basis of this assumption. UCSC students who presently have a State Scholarship or a COG will be contacted directly by the Scholarship Commission for renewal. Renewal applications will be mailed to you (Cont'd on p. 5 )
