More than 150 students have submitted provisional appli
cations for the Study Abroad Program, according to Dr.
Dagobert de Levie, Liberal Arts advisory committee chair
man. This is two weeks prior to the May 1 deadline.
The Study Abroad Program is
divided into two plans. A special
ized study is available for those
who wish to spend an entire aca
demic year at a foreign university
with a special leave of absence.
The elective plan is a 10-week
term spent at a foreign univer
sity as a registered Penn State
student.
Approximately ten per cent
of the applicants wish to parti
cipate in the specialized study
and the remainder applied for
the elective study.
' The majority of students ex
pressed preference for study in
French speaking countries, but a
large number preferred German
and Spanish speaking countries,
de Levie said.
"As of yet, no decisions have
been made as to where our first
connections will be established,"
he explained..
Each applicant will receive
acknowledgment of his provision
al application next week, de Le
vie said.
An open discussion will be
held at a later date for those

to participate in the program,
explained de Levie. This will be
the place to air all questions
concerning the program.
Most of the students who have
applied have over a 3.0 All-Uni
versity average. "The
. 2.5 mini
mum average serves as an incen
tive to many to strive for eligi
bility for the program," he said.
He said that he expected a di
rector for the Study Abroad Pro
gram to be appointed in the near
future by Ben Euwema, dean of
the College of the Liberal Arts.
"The advisory committee is
making every effort to implement
the recommendations presented to
and accepted by the LA college
faculty," tie Levie explained.
Provisional application forms
are still available in 138 Sparks.
