Write Paper
"A research paper is the major
project of the senior year,?' Prof.
Laing said. "This paper may be
in any area of political science.
Seniors usually take courses re-
lated to the topic of their paper,"
he added.
The "spadework" for the paper
should be completed by the be-
ginning of the second semester.
The paper itself is written at this
time, Prof. Laing continued.
Throughout the two years, at
the end of each semester, the
students take an oral examina-
tion of a comprehensive character.
Each one is examined by at least
three members of the faculty.
members of the faculty.
The purpose of the political sci-
ence honors program is to give
superior students a knowledge 'of
the literature of political science
and to give them some experience
in the application to politics.
Offers Junior Program
This is the first year that the
history department is offering a
junior honors program, John P.
Spielman of the history depart-
ment said.
The course is run as a seminar
and provides three hours credit.
Students are free to work on fields
of their own choice, Spielman
said. In the seminar the students
review what they have read.
Throughout the year, the stu-
dents work on the historicalneth-
od. The junior year's program
was formed to give the students
an experience in historiography,
he continued. Each student ana-
lyes theses of various men in the
fields which the student enjoys
moost.
When the student has finished
the junior year he will know a
great deal about the field of his
own choice, Spielman said.
Learns Methods
The purpose of the junior pro-
gram is to acquaint the students
withthe basic methods that the
historian uses. They are also pre-
pared to write a large critical and
expositional paper.
In the first semester of the
senior year each student is asked
to write a large independent pa-
per, Stephen J. Tonsor of the his-
tory department, said. Each inves-
tigates a topic, compiles evidence
and then writes the paper. "We
hope to receive new ideas in the
paper and not just a rehash of
what was done by others," Ton-
sor said.
Throughout the senior year, he
meets with each student once
every two or three wekes to dis-
cuss the program and any indi-
vidual problems.

Survey Problems
The second semester of the
senior year is devoted to a semin-
ar type course in which the stu-
dents survey broad problems .of
assembling historical data. The
emphasis is placed on synthesis
and interpretation, "Tonsor said.
The course provides three hours
credit.
"The history department wishes
to reward superior students, en-
rich the curriculum and give them
basic training in discipline and a
way of thought together with a
body of facts," Tonsor said.
