Sensible Language Requirements
Every student in the College
of Arts and Sciences is required
to complete four semesters of a
foreign language, even though two
years can scarcely be considered
sufficient for fluency by any stan-

dards.
Several

points can be made
against continuing the language
requirement as it now exists.
First, the selection of the
period seems arbitrary.
Proficiency in a language cannot
be measured in semesters.
The problem lies in the vast
differences in individual students'
backgrounds. In French 101, for
instance, one student with three
years of high school French may
be anticipating an easy grade. His
competition with the classmate who
has no language training whatsoever is unfair.
Another point against the language requirement the only one demanding four semesters' work in the
same subject is that it is too
To some, language training comes easily, but to others it is
by far the most difficult of their subjects.
Students graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences into all
walks of life. Along with the
poets and historians go the physicists and chemists. Do all graduates
in all areas benefit from such a
strong diet of a subject so often

The
language requirement
should not be completely abolished,
for, in the broad education of the
first two college years, the value of
such knowledge toward understanding others, and ourselves as well,
becomes evident. Modification of
the requirement might, however,
be considered.
As a measure of fluency, placement tests might be given to determine the level which a student has
achieved. Thus someone with a
strong language background might
be allowed to bypass the entire re-

quirement.
courses, such as those
offered to the armed forces and the
Peace Corps, might also be used.
Fluency is claimed to be simpler to
accomplish by this method, and is

said to be complete and workable
in 6 to 12 months.
Either of these modifications
might be considered as capable of
operating alone, or they might be
combined. In this case the ideal
one the language requirement
might be left to the individual departments within the college to decide. Understandably, then, political science and history majors might
carry a heavier language load than
those in other areas.
In any case, the language requirement deserves serious study.
To deny a student a degree on the
basis of this one requirement seems
somehow unfair.

Student Discusses Burch GOP Editorial
To the Editor of the Kernel:
Ah, and once again the indefatigable Kernel brings forth
another masterpiece from its nameless, faceless editorial factory to
to illuminate and clarify the burning issues of our times; sort of.
I refer, of course, to the Jan.
28 editorial, wherein a virtual
searchlight (about 2.5 watts, I estimate) is flashed upon the passing
of Dean Burch from the National
GOP chairmanship.
The very structure of the editorial is a delight to the senses.
First, a paragraph to enlighten
us poor ignorant slobs: Burch is
departing. This is followed by the
good news: This departure will
strengthen the American two party
system, no less.
Next come eight paragraphs

which chronicle the decline and
fall of the Republican Party. To
complete the symmetry of this cunning, stunning structure, we have
the final paragraph, which says precisely the same thing as the second paragraph:
namely, that
Burch's departure is a GOOD
THING and, hereafter, the two
party system will again be "in."
Fine. Peachy Keen.
How?
How about an editorial in which
the reasons hovvcum Burch's oustd
are stated,
ing is
I can undergo the exquisite
so that
ecstasy of deflating same, hmmmm?
goody-good-goo-

Pretty-please-

?

Passing from ineptness of con

struction, let us consider that term
"two party system." The Kernel
writer, of course, does not really
mean "two party system." In reality, he (she?) really means (two
is a Finparty system), where
factor. After all, one cannot
agle
allow a two party system in which
one party espouses views "alien to
basic American
political and
social philosophy." Therefore, the
GOP has betrayed its Sacred Trust
by giving a voice to these alien
views; views such as free enterprise, private property, self reliance, freedom, etc. Those views.
What the Kernel really means,
of course, is that the (two party
system) will be strengthened by
the Republican Party becoming
exactly like the Democratic Party.
May I suggest, therefore, that
a better headline than "The GOP
Moves Forward" would have been
"The GOP Moves Left"?
Finally, we come to Goldwater
himself. Although he used "railroading tactics" and was nought
but the "figurehead of a faction,"
he should not, you say, be the
object of scorn because he and
his followers (including the undersigned) "were only fighting for
U. . cause .
I have read tliat statement some
ten times and it still makes no
sense. Gee, fellows, I mean like
it's frightfully nice of you to forgive us our trespasses and like
that, but. . .what the heck do you
mean? Are you saying that extrem

ism in the defense of a cause is
no vice? Or that extremism in the
defense of a "cause" is no vice?
And, by the way, why the quotation marks around "cause?"
Do you mean that we really had
no cause? . That our cause was not
what we said it was?
Your unearthing of that "fact"
will gain you no awards for in-

finally we were gonna outlaw red
sunsets. Ain't we nasty?
