Doctoral Language Requirements

The Executive Board of the Horace H. Rackham School
Graduate Studies has decided to turn over the duties of determini
foreign language requirements for doctoral candidates to individi
departments or interdepartmental program committees.
"The responsibility of the Executive Board in the supervision
the Ph.D degree program is best fulfilled by a -concern with the s'

the school.
The Ph.D foreign language re-
quirements have been under re-
view by the board for the past
two years. The decision came at
the board's meeting Wednesday
night.
More Meaningful
According to Ralph B. Lewis,
assistant to the Dean of the
Graduate School, the board feels
that if each department formu-
lates requirements relevant to
their own particular field, the re-
quirements will be more meaning-
ful to degree candidate.
Lewis said present requirements
are lax enough to allow consider-
able substitution. "It gets to the
point where students elect non-
language courses as substitutes,
and it is often difficult to distin-
quish these courses from their
other doctoral work." This is not
in line with the idea that an extra
language is a "scholarly supple-
mient"to a candidate's education,
he said.
The board is asking each de-
partment and interdepartmental
program committee to submit its
recommendations before Jan. 1,
1968. The recommendations will
be reviewed by the board, and
should take effect by Sept. 1, 1968.
They will apply to all incoming
students and other students who
do not elect to'meet the present
requirements prior to Sept 1, 1969.
Minimum Requirements
Lewis said the departmental re-
quirements should be "a minimum
requirement applicable to all stu-
dents, and not an optimum re-
quirement" which may be filled by
course substitutions.
The board also stressed in the
report that "a continuing review
of the doctoral programs under,
the supervision of the Executive
Board is essential if the Graduate
School is to be effective both in
the enhancement of its programs
and in the distribution of finan-
cial support."

rector of Baits Housing. An assis-
tant resident director at South
Quad last year, Phillips was given
his present post at the end of
last summer.
Dispelling rumors of dissatis-
faction with the system, Feldkamp
credits the resignations to the
usual turnover in housing. How-
ever, he indicated that "in any
organization of 1000 people, you:
are bound to have some people
disgruntled."
Although the new director of
Lloyd, Coizens and Barbour is not
known, both Burkhouse and Feld-
kamp indicated that hiring a com-
plex director and assistant di-
rector or hiring a separate director
for each hall is being considered.
This would alleviate the workload
on one man and attempt to give
each hall a more individual char-
acter.

Negroes made repeated assaults
on the police line, wounding a
highway patrolman. The patrol
man fired into the area to break
the first assault.
The highway patrol radioed for
national guard help after the mob
sought to overrun a policebarri-
cade blocking them from moving
toward downtown Jackson.
'ov. Paul B. Johnson had al-
erted the guardsmen during the
afternoon to move into the riot
area if necessary, and the Negro
students responded quickly with
new incidents aimed at motorists.
They quieted down at dusk, only
to begin the march on the bar-
ricades about 8:30 p.m.
The afternoon violence came
when police let homeward bound
motorists use Lynch Street, the
main thoroughfare cutting through
the college, to relieve the 5 p.m.
traffic situation.
The governor alerted several
guard units at the request of May-
or Allen Thompson, who termed
the situation "very explosive."
Johnson said he did not "believe
the situation is getting out of
hand."
Less than two hours later, about
50 Negroes posted in front of the
college began assaulting cars of
white motorists. They used sticks,
clubs and rocks from a big pile
of makeshift ammunition collect-
ed during the day.
