the “Perspectives in Contemporary

“The question at stake iii the

It is a definite challange to the

Speaking out against the ability
of goyernment information bureaus
to disseminate acturatc informa-
tion. Pope said that no one will write
information which shows his eiii~
ployer in a bad light.

White Says Language Exams
Ha ve Lowered Requirements

Now that graduatit n time is (1111' .v-
ing near. one of the topics of dis-
cussion 011 the campus is the lan-
guage proficiency examination. In
an effort to secure information on
the subject. several professors and
students were interviewed.

The correct title for the examina-
tion is “Basic Achievement in For-
eign Language." The test. which is
set up on a national basis and grad—
ed on a national scale. is used to
help fulfill general requirements in
the College of Arts and Sciences.

Dean M. M. White of the College
of Arts and Sciences, stated that
the purpose of the test is “an at-
tempt to excuse those students who
did as well as the national norm
from taking two years of foreign
language."

DEAN WHITE POINTED OI'T
that the adoption of thc present
system actually lowered the lan-
guage requirements in the College
of Arts and Scrences. Prior to its
mum in September 1945. stu-
dents who presented no language
credits on entering college were re-

 

compltte 4 quarters of one
uaLe and two of another.
Hike 5 quarters of one language.

Under the present system. a stu-
dent may take the test any time
after beginning study of a language,
ll he gets the consent of his in-
structor However. it is more desir—
able that the student study a lan-
Lu Lt for one yeai and take the test
duiinc oi at the end of the second
semester of work. In the event he
fail- the test the first time he takes
it. the student should continue
studying the language until he does
pass it or has completed two years
of lanuuage study. In either case,
his language requirements will have
been fulfilled.

ACCORDING TO DEAN “’HITE.
appraximately 33 per cent of the
students who have had one year of
language fail to pass the test the
first time they take it. He pointed
out the fact that the student must
p.1ss the test a semester before he
complaes his requirements for grad—
uatioi If the student elects to
complete two years of study of the

tional and domestic affairs.

“For studying and solving prob-
lems of the present international

world. there could hardly be a more
sicnificant area than the field of
foreim languages. Therefore, I con-
sider the University of Kentucky

the most vital activities of the Uni-
vcrsity.“ Dr. Skiles said.

This conference. which was start-

Dean White pointed out the neces- "

sity of studying a foreign language.
It helps give the student a cultural
background and broadens his knowls

This point was further stressed
by Dr. Jonah Skiles. Professor in
the Department of Ancient Lan-
guages. who stated that for gen-
eral or for liberal education on both
secondary school and college level.
the objective for foreign study in
the first and second years are learn-
ing to read the language and get-

ideas of the people who use that
language.

1. Study of a foreign language is.

necessary in securing a liberal edu-
cation. Length of time for studying
is debatable.

2. Strong objection exists as to

the use of a national test and na—
tional grading scale, rather than
putting it on a local basis.

3. The test is considered a “stumb-
ling block" to graduation by several
persons.

4. Why require an achievement

not in other general or group re-
quirements of the college?
