While Hannah acknowledged the possibility of his ac- cepting a federal post, he emphasized such a move would not come in the near future. "There will be a meeting of our Board of Trustees to consider the possibility of some sort of a shared-time role for -- balance of this school year, and the possibility of a full- T y 1 ; time role in the federal gov- ernment after that," Hannah " e said.

'aid mission in S th Vif ta Faculty required makes n By DAVID SPURR In its first full open meet- ing, the literary college fac- ulty yesterday postponed by a close vote action on a motion to alter the present language requirement. Under the motion by Prof. }. ' Robert Hefner of the psychology department, the present require- ~' ment -would be reduced to a re- quired ten credit-hours, \ith credit given for language study done elsewhere. Students would also be able to petition for other means of satis- fying the requirement. Dean William L. Hays made it clear that Hefner's motion could be used "as a vehicle" for propos- ing other motions on the language requirement which could be acted upon at the faculty's next meet- ing in March. Following the vote to postpone action. the faculty body became a "quasi-committee of the whole" to discuss the language require- ment. During the debate Prof. Peter Smith of the chemistry depart- ment outlined a proposal similar to Hefnes, giving ten hours cred-ro it to those students who entered the University with language pro- ficiency. Students who fulfilled the re- quirement by taking University C language courses would receive either those ten hours of credit or credit for the language courses taken to attain proficiency, which- ever was larger. Much of the discussion dealt with the value of learning a for- eign language.
