On The Foreign Language Requirement

Dissatisfaction Over Glory-less Glory Day Discussed

Unknown t o many s t u d e n t s who a r e now s t r u g g l i n g t h r o u g h t h e i r first or second y e a r of a required f o r e i g n language, t h e f a c u l t y is inv e s t i g a t i n g the possibility of changing the l a n g u a g e requirements.

T h e r e are those who feel t h a t the p r e s e n t l a n g u a g e requirement is too g r e a t a proportion of the academic load. Some students, f o r example those m a j o r i n g in the business and economic fields, believe t h a t t h e sixteen hours of language study, or in other w o r d s one-eighth of their college career is in excess to t h e a m o u n t of t i m e t h a t should be s p e n t studying a f o r e i g n language. They feel t h a t more benefit would be derived f r o m t h e i r college education if they w e r e p e r m i t t e d to take courses which a r e more closely related to t h e i r interests.

Also without t h i s l a n g u a g e requirement these students would be able to begin their m a j o r field of study earlier in t h e i r college career. Suggested by this g r o u p is a more condensed study of a f o r e i g n l a n g u a g e or f a r fewer required h o u r s in this field.

Also the advocates of a weaker l a n g u a g e requirement point out t h a t English is rapidly becoming the universal l a n g u a g e in the sense t h a t in the f u t u r e English will be the l a n g u a g e spoken by all countries. With this a r g u m e n t is presented the f a c t t h a t t h e m a n y A m e r ican tourists t r a v e l i n g in Europe a r e r e g a r d e d by the natives as an opportunity f o r them to practice t h e i r E n g l i s h r a t h e r t h a n f o r the tourist to practice his newly found l a n g u a g e skills. I t is suggested here t h a t the time which is normally spent in s t u d y i n g a foreign l a n g u a g e be applied to more productive fields of study.

Another viewpoint of those proposing lowering t h e l a n g u a g e requirements is t h e fact t h a t some s t u d e n t s s u f f e r f r o m w h a t is known as a mental block in language. This t e r m m e a n s t h a t some s t u d e n t s who a r e normally successful in other studies f o r some reason are unable to m a s t e r t h e technique of a f o r e i g n language. Since l a n g u a g e is now a requirement f o r graduation these students are prohibited f r o m f u r t h e r i n g their education and a r e 1 t h e r e f o r e forced to leave school when t h e y might be very productive in a field of their interest or skills.

Those who support the language requirements a s they are note t h a t t h e discipline of a f o r e i g n l a n g u a g e aids in the development of the mind. F u r t h e r m o r e , it is maintained t h a t the study of a f o r e i g n l a n g u a g e aids in the u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h e g r a m m a r and construction of our native l a n g u a g e .

A t present t h e f a c u l t y h a s answered several questionnaires in regard to their opinion of a change in the l a n g u a g e requirement. The general trend a p p e a r s to be toward a reduction of these requirements.

To me it a p p e a r s t h a t t h e study of a f o r e i g n l a n g u a g e is a necessary p a r t of t h e liberal education. Those who feel t h a t the l a n g u a g e requirement is h a r m i n g t h e i r m a j o r field of study should enter a technical r a t h e r t h a n a liberal a r t s school. F u r t h e r m o r e , it is a f a c t t h a t many g r a d u a t e schools require at least two y e a r s of one f o r e i g n lang u a g e and sometimes even more t h a n one l a n g u a g e is highly recommended. Also, g r a d u a t e schools s u g g e s t t h a t it is best to g a i n t h e broad background of knowledge which is offered while in college since there is very little time f o r this in the specialized studies of g r a d u a t e work. Many universities do not s t r e s s the over-specialization in one field of study a t the u n d e r g r a d u a t e level. Hence, the t a k i n g of more courses or related courses in one's m a j o r field is not recommended in g r a d u a t e schools. Again, f o r those who do not plan to e n t e r g r a d u a t e school the study of a f o r e i g n l a n g u a g e increases their vocabulary and knowledge of t h e i r own language.

We must not, however, keep the l a n g u a g e r e q u i r e m e n t merely f o r the sake of tradition. Yet, we must not be willing to do a w a y with it because some s t u d e n t s find this study difficult. While it has been suggested t h a t we lower t h e l a n g u a g e r e q u i r e m e n t , I do u r g e t h a t w h a t ever t h e l a n g u a g e r e q u i r e m e n t be changed to, the l a n g u a g e be taken within the first y e a r or two of college. In this way t h o s e who do enjoy language m a y continue with it and t a k e the more difficult courses, those who wish to go to g r a d u a t e school will have the f u n d a mentals of l a n g u a g e before they decide on a g r a d u a t e career, and those who wish to enter the business world a f t e r college will here receive a valuable p a r t of t h e i r liberal education.

to the Editor

Dear E d i t o r : T h e r e is always t h e very real d a n g e r t h a t a f t e r a campus happening is over even t h e s t e r n e s t critics of t h e event f a i l to s t a t e for t h e benefit of all exactly t h e i r points of criticism. W e h e s i t a t e to even mention the recent t o u r n a ment since it undoubtedly b r i n g s back vivid and u n p l e a s a n t t h o u g h t s to many.

It is only because we hope t h a t this college will be b e t t e r p r e p a r ed f o r such a f u t u r e occurrence t h a t we put this study of Hope's role in the N C A A basketball tourn a m e n t before the entire s t u d e n t body.

It must have been obvious to even t h e most unconcerned s p o r t s ' e n t h u s i a s t s t h a t the s t u d e n t body as a whole w a s not entirely happy (to put it mildly) with the administration's decision concerning the final g a m e s of t h e t o u r n a m e n t . W e would like to offer our s u g g e s tions as to how Hope College misinterpreted its p a r t in these g a m e s and exactly who is responsible.

t h e p a s t so m a n y a t Hope have been so vociferous about honoring the basketball team on a "Glory D a y " a n d t h a t this year Hope College is the Great Lakes Regional Champion.

This brings u s to t h i s point: exactly w h a t did the administration g r a n t t h e students as f a r as aiding them to reach Evansville to support t h e t e a m on March 11 was concerned? In the light of w h a t h a s already been stated, it m u s t be concluded that N O T H I N G was conceded to the students. The "middle point" spoken of by one administration m e m b e r was nothing but an action t a k e n with the student body in mind—not a college conference this time.

We feel that only the most naive person could i n t e r p r e t this question as being one of the academic vs. the athletic. We admit t h a t to have dismissed all classes for t h r e e days would have been u n f a i r to many.

We have since seen our reflections in the m i r r o r we earlier spoke of and a r e disappointed in what we see. As so m a n y others we didn't demand t h a t our Student Council act early. We, too, sat in the Chapel on March 10, Tuesday, at t h a t noon-hour meeting and applauded instead of walking out of the Chapel in unison bef o r e we were told "you m a y leave now."

We, too, have been conformists in all things f o r the sake of tradition or because we have f e a r e d , not a d m i n i s t r a t i v e reproval, but so m a n y unexplanable things.

By Sally Houtman When talking with Mr. Dressner about the food service management at Hope College, 1 began to realize ( a f t e r three interruptions and much discussion) what an enormous job it is to keep approximately 575 students satisfied with the meal served at the three dining halls on campus. The Slater Food Sen-ice, started at Hope in the fall of 1957, with Robert Dressner as manager, employs an assistant manager, Mr. Burt White, 30 Slater employees and 82 student employees, in order to fulfill this task.

These people are responsible f o r day to day food preparation and new menu ideas, while maintaining the basic food requirements needed f o r good nutrition.

In order to keep student interest and enthusiasm in the meals being served, Mr. Dressner is continually thinking of new ways to present his meals and new dishes to serve.

Last year, the International Night Dinners were enthusiastically accepted by all the students. This year, with an e x t r a push on the p a r t of the entire staff. Regional Night Dinners are being planned.
