HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DEBATES STUDENT CORPS BILL

ZAGREB, March 27 (Hina) - The House of Representatives this morning debated a Student Corps Bill. Presenting the Bill, Science Minister Ivica Kostovic said its main goal was to regulate the position of students as equal partners in the management of universities. Through a new umbrella organization, the Student Corps, student representatives would participate in university decision- making, Kostovic explained. On behalf of the HDZ Bench, Mario Kapulica voiced utmost satisfaction with the Bill. Opposition members, however, had other ideas. To listen to them, the Bill was incomplete, unclear in wording and intention and altogether unnecessary. Minority representative Furio Radin said it was impossible to regulate such a complex field, involving a "special population" by a single Act. He was seconded by Drago Krpina (HDZ) who spoke up against the "imposition of a monolith approach" as "anti-democratic and wrong." (hina) jn as 271607 MET mar 96
