Autonomy Needed • • • (Continued from pane 6) We want something both more and loss than what is currently available. We want more lan guages and greater proficiency in those languages. In thin sense, we suggest an obstacle of greater consequence than that defended by opponents to change. We want languages from Af rica, from the Middle East — from Asia and Southeast Asia; we want the ability to use these languages not simply the abil ity to take an examination and forget what we "learned." We want less in that we may not need two languages to accom plixh our specific goals. Must Depend on Need The specific configuration of the "language requirement” should depend, first, on the needs of the graduate student and, second, on his discipline. In history, for example, it may he appropriate to become pro ficient at reading three Ian guages or at speaking, reading, and writing one and being able to read two others. It is also conceivable that no languages are necessary—that some other ability is much more relevant to the specific needs of the gradu ate student. The appropriate locus of this decision is the graduate student and his department — not the Graduate School, Therefore we want departmental autonomy and willingness within depart ments to responsibly exercise this option. Finally, we suggest the fol lowing configuration for the "option”: • Choice of language. The student, in consultation with his advisor, would select the lan guages) appropriate to his field. Fxaininations could be obtained from the "Kducational Testing Service" (Princeton). This would make the language examination a function of the student's needs, not a function of the university's limited testing facilities. • Number of languages and degree of proficiency. The stu dent, in consultation with his advisor, should decide how many languages will be incorporated in his graduate program and whether he should be qualified to read, read and converse, etc. in any or all of the languages. • Substitutions. If a language is not appropriate to the stu dent’s academic pursuit, appro priate substitutions should be made. Such substitutions might include proficiency in: statistics, computer programming, research methodology, etc. The authority to implement these innovations rests solely with the faculty. We sincerely hope that the faculty is sensi tive to the consequences of wielding this authority in mak ing decisions so seriously affect ing our abilities to meet cur rent and future needs of our common profession. Letters to the Editor < Continued from ['nor 6) visory Council At this meeting (announced in the now Gradu ate Student Newsletter), a much more "liberal” language require ment was adopted and will be recommended to the Faculty Senate But no Kmerald report er was present. It seems that an Kmerald re porter did attend the first GSAC meeting, but left early (do all of your reporters leave early?) and no story of the meeting ever appeared in the Kmerald On April 11 the Kmerald miss ed another opportunity; it could have had a story on the E tJCMA concert that night of pi anist Gina Bachauer. So as not to appear caught with your guard down, the Kmerald did not report the performance in its next issue, either. The con cert was not as well attended as would be expected for someone of Miss Bachauer’s fame. (Please do tell us when the Cleveland Orchestra arrives.) 1 believe that this is the sec ond time this year that the Em erald failed to give advance no tice of a K-UCMA concert, which the Student Union supports to the tune of 75 cents per stu dent, or $9,184.50 for the 19(15 (id school year. For that kind of money I want the Emerald to tell me two or three times about an upcoming concert. While yoia- support of th c changes in the language require ments is—perhaps—welcomed, your factual knowledge of the subject is shockingly inadequate. The tests do not consist of ”150 lines of carefully selected prose.” Having taken and pass *•<1 two tests of not more than 50 lines each, I must contradict your "facts.” The only thing "wrong with a newspaper print ing facts" is that your news paper prints errors and calls them facts. Furthermore, you seem un clear about the present level of competence in the first language (you say, "fairly well” and "half-well” in the same para graph!), Having also taken (at the University) and passed a speaking exam in the first lan guage, I deny that this is an appropriate or even tougher re quirement. One can forget how to speak a language, and few need to know how. For some people, however, it would be an appropriate alternative to the present system. Earlier this year the gradu ate students of the political sci ence department sent to Dean Tyler a proposal for changing the language requirements. We sent a copy to the Emerald. The Emerald did not print the text of the proposal, even after be ing requested to do so later. Once again you simply are not reporting the news. Resign, Emerald editor; re sign!
