PAGE FORT III MC HIGAN IAILY FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1948 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.

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!
