INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING:
LS&A Honors Program Offered in Fall
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of two articles on the College ihon4crs
Program in Liberal Arts.)
By FREflI WINTERS
Filling the need, long recognized
by educators, for more individual-
ized instruction for superior stu-
dents, the College Honors Pro-
gram in Liberal Arts will again
be in operation next fall.
The Honors Program, estab-
lished in the Literary .College in
1939, was discontinued during the
war and resumed in 1946. Through
work in the program, qualified
juniors and seniors are able to
carry on an integrated course of
studies, independent of the de-
mands of departmental specializa-
tion.
Ethics and Politics
Instead of concentrating in
their junior and senior years, hon-
ors students elect the Degree Pro-
gram in Honors. Two years' study
of such subjects as the Develop-
ment of "Science, Feudalism and
Capitalism, forms of Literature,
and the Renaissance have been
offered in the past. Next fall's
program is called Ethics and Pol-
itics. The list of readings includes
Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume,
the Constitution and Dewey.
Study groups are much smaller
than the regular University
classes, consisting of six or eight
students and a tutor. The group
meets each week, and in addition
students have weekly conferences
with their tutor.
Emphasis on Reading
Emphasis is placed on careful
intensive reading. Limited num-
bers in classes and conferences
give the student an opportunity
to analyze and discuss the reading
closely, and to investigate ques-
tions raised by the readings.
By introducing the student to
stimulating material on the sub-
ject under study, and developing
specialized habits of study, it is
expected that the student will be
better equipped to develop their
own thinking.
Applications for the fall Honors
Program are now being received
by Dean Peake of the Literary
College.

c.. -.. a. n SI..
By SHELTON MURPHY '
Armed with French-English,
Spanish-English dictionaries iv'
both rear pockets, students knock-
ing at the door of 1027 East Uni-
versity are prepared for the rapid-
fire chatterings of foreign lan-
guages.
Such cosmopolitan students will
be greeted heartily with "Bonjour"
or 'Hola" by the residents of the
French-Spanish House, newly-es-
tablished by the Romance lan-
guages department.
The purpose of the Maison
Francaise and Casa Espanola, as it
is called, is to improve the stu-
dents' proficiency in the lan-
guages. The general rule, said Miss
Germaine Baer, directress, is that
either French or Spanish must be
spoken at all times. Since resi-
dence is voluntary, naturally all
cooperate."
Forget Themselves
Miss Baer, a University graduate
who regularly teaches at the Uni-
versity of Kansas City, said that
sometimes the overzealous resi-
dents forget themselves and speak
the foreign languages to bewil-
deredtradesmen at the door.
There are 16 women living in
the house, eight on the French
second floor and eight on the
Spanish third floor.Eleven, in-
cluding Miss Baer, are graduates.
The others rank as low as juniors.
The house is not strictly a wom-
en's affair, though. About 10 men
regularly join the French or the
Spanish table for luncheon or
dinner, or both. In addition, fac-
ulty members are often invited.
After meals, the group engages in
some activity like singing songs.
Varied Group
Although quite a few of the
group are language teachers and
majors, they do not constitute the
entire group. The congregation
ranges from an English major to
an architect and an engineer.
Their purposes in joining the
language group are also varied.
Besides teaching both here and in
foreign countries, some want to go
to France, Mexico, or South Amer-
ica to work in non-teaching pro-
fessions. There are those who
want to keep up their proficiency
in the language, and a few others
who just prefer the atmosphere.
No Prerequisite
There is no special prerequisite
to joining the group, Miss Baer
said. The students don't have to
be continuing their language atI
the time. They must merely have
an interest in it.
The language house made its re-
appearance on the campus this
summer after an absence of six
years. French houses were or-
ganized in the summers from 1936
to 1942, but were discontinued
during the war. No Spanish house
had been formed here before this
summer.
The idea of language houses is
not a new one. Several colleges,
Middlebury and Bowdoin for ex-
ample, have had them for many
years.
However, Miss Baer said it is
novel having both languages under
the same roof. Some of the bi-lin-
gualists find it difficult remem-
bering who "is French" and who
"is Spanish." The real difficulty
is for those who speak only Span-
ish, though, for both the women
who wait on the tables speak only
French!
