Fricke also said that while
grade point averages in schools
are rising, the quality of educa-
tion has declined.
"GRADES are determined by
many things. They don't neces-
sarily reflect what a student is
learning. While grades have
been going up, quality of educa-
tion, as measured by tests and
other outside indicators, has
been going down," he added.
For the past 12 years entrance
exam scores have followed a
downward trend, causing con-
cern in some circles. Last year
the average SAT score dropped
10 points for a verbal score and
eight for math.

For years the language requirement has
vied with the natural science distribution for
top honors as the most hated part of the.
University's liberal arts program. Yet, de-
spite the reluctance of many students to ap-
proach beginning, language courses with en-
thusiasm, the teaching assistants. (TA's)
seem to enjoy their jobs.
"I'm not discouraged at all," said one
French . staff member, "I just go into a
classroom and (try to) be myself, and I don't
have many students who don't seem inter-
ested.
ROSA PEREZ, born in Cuba, has taught
Spanish here for the last five years.
"It's never happened that I've had a lot
of people taking Spanish just because they
like it," she admitted frankly, "But I've
never been discouraged by it, it happens in
all courses."
Unfortunately, students aren't nearly as
pleased with the situation as their teaching
assistants.
"I THINK IT (the language requirement)
stinks," said LSA freshperson Mike Mar-
tino. "I don't see why it should be required
of a person trying to get into medicine."
Many students were concerned about ',the
affect an undesired language class could have
on their grade point average.
German student Roswitaj Jordan comment-
ed, "I dislike it very much - if I didn't
.have it my grades would be a lot higher,"
Some TA's sympathize with the students.
In an effort to aid students, Spanish TA
Tom Fine has devised his own system of
grading.
HE explained that students can receive
an A by merely learning the basics, coming
to class, and making a good effort..
He is, however, still in favor of the lan-
guage requirement, remarking, "I am for the
language requirement, but I think it should
be backed up by a strongEnglish grammar
background."
Not all language TA's are in favor of the
requirement, however.
A TA in the German department said, "I
think the language requirement is absurd.
It's unfair to the teachers, as well as to the
students. Why should students be forced to
take classes they don't want or nedd, and
why should we be required to teach. unin-
terested students?"
She declined to give her name, because
as she said, "most of my co-workers disa-
gree with me."
German staff member Philip Sweet doesn't
think that the requirement is the major prob-
lem with beginning language students.
"I think the biggest problem is just an at-
titude toward learning a language, period,"
he said. "I "think it- has something to do w l*
the fact that it's not a purely intellectual
process; It's more like football practice than
chemistry, for example, and a lot of students
don't like that. r
SWEET, a fourth year TA, added that "the
excitement really comes in the second year
when students start to understand things bet-
ter."
"There's really a natural rewards system
in that sense," he.. said.

Iwanted something new...something different...
something with a future."
Midshipman William Freeman,from Colorado Springs, Colorado, is one young man who knew
exactly what he wanted. A field with a future. One that offered new and different challenges-
plus an opportunity for a rewarding career. He found a way to get it, too. Through the Navy's
NROTC2-yearOperation Leadership scholarship program. In the Operation Leadership program,
Bill's getting some of the practical leadership and management experience he needs to become
a specialist in the field of nuclear propulsion.
If you're a college sophomore, Operation Leadership can provide the opportunity for you to
qualify yourself for tomorrow's Nuclear Age-today! But it isn't just for anybody. Only a limited
number of students are selected each year for this demanding and highly-competitive program.
Students majoring in engineering and hard sciences such as math, physics and chemistry are-
most preferred, althoughapplicants with other majors may be selected provided they have a
} .r xstrong background in calculus and physics. All applicants must have completed one semester of
Afcollege physics and mathematics through integral calculus, and maintained at least a B minus
Saverage. In your senior year, assuming that you maintain selection requirements and standards,
you may be given the opportunity to prove to the Director of the Division of Nuclear Reactors and
to his staff that you are qualified and should go on to advanced nuclear power training-and
become a nuclear engineer.
Heavy? You bet it is. But if you're selected for Operation Leadership, you'll receive a full
H 'scholarship worth $8,000-10,000 for the remainder of your college education which includes
5 $100 a month for living expenses. But, more important, you'll receive training that can help you
become an officer and a nuclear propulsion specialist in today's Navy. You'll work with a great
team of professionals. Plus travel...see the world...and have some fun. But first call your Navy

The masters of photography have always needed a
photographic system that would allow the full expres-
sion of their creativity. Their choice since photog-
raphy's infancy has been the view camera, for in spite
of the tremendous technological advances made in
the field of photography since Alfred Steiglitz started
taking pictures of the New York skyline through his
apartment window, no system has ever been devel-
oped that can do the things'a view camera is capable
of doing.
The Toyo View is designed to take full advantage of
the unique capabilities of large format photography.
Its only limitation is your own imagination.
