A Good Beginning
Enrollment and student en
thusiasm seem to indicate a
successful first year for the
Sophomore Honors program.
Few of the unexpectedly
large number of honors stu
dents enrolled dropped out of
the program. Grades have
been consistently above the
average “curve." Professors
agree that honors students are
top students.
But the final verdict won’t
be known until late in May,
after the first comprehensive
exams.
The exams are as unique as
the honors program itself.
Regular two - hour written
tests, they won’t be limited to
material covered in the three
terms of the courses. They’re
tests of general knowledge in
each of the four fields, litera
ture, biology, physics, and his
tory.
They won't substitute for
the final, unless the student
wishes.
Sub-committees will grade
the exams on the basis of hon
ors qualifications alone. No
letter grade will he given. If
the student wishes the exam
to count as his final, however,
the instructor will re-grade
the exam, this time on an A,
B, C basis.
Exam reading lists are be
ing distributed to honors stu
dents now. These lists aren’t
confined to course material,
and students are urged to use
information from other
sources.
In addition, a student does
n’t have to be enrolled in one
of the four honors courses to
qualify for the exam. All he
has to do is have 15 hours of
completed work in the Univer
sity, with a 2.75 CPA, and not
more than 93 credit hours.
Since there are no set stan
dards for the “pass with dis
tinction” requirements for an
honors award, it’s hard to say
how many students will earn
their honors certificates.
Even if it’s only two-thirds
of the honors enrollment,
however, the program will
have been worthwhile.
Another indication that the
program is concluding it's
first year with flying colors is
the planning going on now for
next year’s program.
It’s going to be twice as big.

Effect of Yugoslav Revolt on Russia
Outlined in Browsing Room Talk
Yugoslavia’s revolt from the So
viet Union J‘hlt Russia in the
Achilles heel” and "started a chain
reaction In the communist world,”
according to Ivan Nagy, assistant
professor of political science, who
spoke on "The Enforcement of Po
litical Oithodoxy" in a browsing
room lecture Tuesday night.
Marshall Tito, who headed the
Yugoslavian revolt, "is the only
person who ever opposed Stalin
and got away with it," Nagy con
tinued. He was the “Red peril" to
Stalin, since he broke the myth of
Russian omnipotence and stirred
up revolts in the satellites of east
ern Europe.
According to Nagy, the Yugo
slavian break with the Soviets oc
curred because the Yugoslavian
citizen is not a "slave of nature.”
The reddish-orange sails of the
fishing boats on the Adriatic, the
citrus fruit, and the warm climate
produce a great independence and
zest tor life in the Yugoslavians,
he noted. The bleak climate of
Soviet Union devitalizes the hu
man spirit, and tends to produce
a "robot" personality, he said.
The dramatic personality of Tito
was an important factor in the
success of the revolt, Nagy stated.
Tito, who divides his leisure time
between Sherlock Holmes and Vi
ennese waltzes, came from humble
peasant stock to become one of the
most influential Europeans of our
day. Under his leadership the
Yugoslavs united in their attempt
to balk Russia.
Since Stalin’s death, there have
been three significant develop
ments in Yugoslavia, Nagy con
