But while the faculty agreed on the general issues, many concerns were voiced during the meeting about specifics dealing with the requirements Many faculty members ex pressed concern about the date set for implementation of the new admission requirements An implementation date of 1986 got the most support, although most people agreed the foreign language requirement, if adopted, would take longer to be implemented Robyn Dawes, head of the psychology department, said he thought the requirements should be phased in gradually rather than have the whole thing take effect in a particular year The adoption of a foreign language requirement comes in response to statistics showing Oregon students lag behind the national average in the number of students taking a foreign lan guage However, not everyone was in agreement "Some students do not need two years of a foreign language r ai me mgn scnooi level, saiu Ron Rousseve. counseling psy chology professor.
