...week of their own. Pitt is also working on state agencies to revise the professional requirements for graduates. A law student at Pitt, for example, could finish law school in two years, but the Pennsylvania State Board of Bar Examiners has required three years of law school up to now. Intercollegiate sports are another problem. Some first-year graduate students at Pitt will be the equivalent of fourth-year undergraduates elsewhere, but as matters now stand, N.C.A.A. rules bar all graduate students from competition. Says Litchfield, who hopes to persuade the N.C.A.A. to waive its requirements: "You shouldn...
Nobuo Aruga, 22. one of the major leaders in the rotating top leadership of Zengakuren, the student federation claiming to represent half of Japan's 677,000 undergraduates. A fourth-year law student at Tokyo University, he is soft-voiced, polite and smiling, comes of a middle-class family. His father was an army colonel in Manchuria, spent three years as a Soviet prisoner of war, and has no sympathy with Nobuo's ideas. His mother loyally supports her son, but Nobuo says patronizingly, "Being a woman, she knows nothing about...
Partly responsible for U.S. language lacks, Conant charged, are two sorts of offenders: school boards which justify omission of third-and fourth-year language courses from high school curricula on the grounds that few students apply, and colleges, whose two-year language admission requirements give respectability to a brief, pointless period of study. "A two-year requirement is worse than none," said Conant. "If there is to be a requirement, it should mean mastery." He continued: "The lip service paid to foreign languages in the high school, is, I am afraid, a direct reflection of lip service paid...
...getting fewer and fewer takers. General enrollment has risen 26% since 1945, but with the exception of first-year algebra (up 11%) and solid geometry (up 28%), the number of pupils in all other mathematics and science courses has slumped. Physics is down 10%, chemistry 17%. Other academic subjects have also suffered: enrollment in social studies, which include one required year of U.S. history, has dropped 9%; first, second and third-year Latin are down an average 20%; fourth-year Latin is not offered...
...full realization of the plan's possibilities, it must be extended. There is a strong implication in Elder's remarks that this fourth-year freedom would be restricted to students definitely planning to attend graduate school. Perhaps such plans can be construed as evidence of determination to study, but they are certainly not the only indication of an interest in developing one's mind. If education can be valuable to a man who will not seek a higher degree, as the College's existence presupposes, then this unique educational opportunity should be given to all with the faculties...
