Leeper Outlines Honor Work For Upper Division Students All outline of honors work avail able to upper division students in the University of Oregon was an nounced Thursday by K. \V. keep er, professor of psychology and chairman of the honors council. One of the problems of a large university, according to keeper, is that of giving a sufficiently indi vidualized program of study to stu dents of unusual ability. It is financially difficult for the university to give careful individ ual supervision to the work of all students, keeper said, but the uni versity does feel that it is especial ly important to provide special op portunities for students who are showing themselves capable of un usually fine academic work 1’rogruin in Operation There is an honors program cur rently in operation which was in stigated in the University program in 1927. The present honors work is open to upper-division students who have at least a 2.75 GPA from their lower-division work and who can maintain at least a GPA of 3.00 in each term of their upper division work. Students who meet these re quirements may register in 305 or 405 courses in “Reading and Conference." 301 or 401 courses in "Research," and 403 courses in ‘Thesis.” The work culminates in the writing of a thesis which is a lesser version of the thesis submit ted by graduate students for the master s degree and in an oral examination at the end of the senior year. A major extension of honors work for the freshman and sopho more years was approved in prin ciple by the liberal arts faculty last year. Six students, four in English and two in architecture, were availed of the program last year. Several faculty committees are now engaged in defining the objec tives and planning the curricula of five special honors courses which will be open, possibly next Oregon's 'Y' Booklet Gains National Notice The University of Oregon's YM CA has gained national notice with the publication of a booklet called “Welcome to Oregon—a handbook for foreign students”, ac cording to Jack Merner, executive secretary of the group. The booklet, which was sent to foreign students by the University or the Institute of International Education, contains such facts as where the University of Oregoa is located and what its purpose is. The handbook also tells the stu dent what to wear, how to behave and what students do for recrea tion. Tony McCarroll acted as ed itor of the publication which was written by foreign students who had been at the University for at least a year. This is the only such handbook published in recent years and it has brought requests for copies from several colleges as well as from the Latin-American Insti tute and the School of Inter-Amer ican Affairs at the University of New Mexico. Copies are being sent to the schools that request them as soon as possible. DO YOU FEAR DISEASE?

Experience Valuable The honors students in past years who have gone on to gradu ate work have reported that their experience in the honors program gave them a valuable background for their later graduate study, Leeper said. The honors work is not intended solely as a preparation for gradu ate work, Leeper explained, but is also directed at those students who will not go beyond their bachelor's degree, but who woidd be cpiali fied to profit by the individual pro gram permitted in honors work. The heavy enrollments of the eral past years made it difficult for the faculty to find the extra time required for honors work, Leeper stated. With the reduced enrollment ut present, however, the Honors Council feels that a renewed emphasis on the upper division honors program should once more be possible, Leeper re ported. Deadline for the schedule chang es of students who would like to enter the program this yeur is Monday. Questions? Students who have questions about the program are encouraged to contact Leeper or other council members. Members of the honor council are Leeper; Quirinus Breen, professor of history and social sci ence; Paul Given, associate profes sor of mathematics; S. N. Dicken, head of the department of geogra phy and geology; D. N. Dougherty, head of the foreign languages de partment; and E. C. A. Lesch, pro fessor of English.
