STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Program Will Assist Teachers The French Institute will conduct a 36-week training program at the University to acquaint French teachers with new methods of language in struction, according to Dr. Simon Belasco, Director of the Institute.) The Institute will be held from Sept. 20, 1961, to May 30, 1962. Belasco said ihaf 23 teachers, chosen from public and privale secondary schools throughout the nation, will participate in the program. The purpose of the training pro jgram, he said, is to acquaint these ipeople, already proficient in' French, with new methods of teaching the language so they can improve their teaching techniques )and increase their own knowledge of French. j The University is the site of one of the two academic French Insti tutes in the United States that offer such training programs, he added. In the past participants in the program have been recommend ed to leach at summer French Institutes at American univer sities. In discussing the new teaching methods, Belasco said students can learn the language with great er speed through the use of cer tain mechanical devices such as tape machines, which supplement class work. This audio-lingual approach will lessen the time it normally would take to learn a language through the traditional way with books and drill, he added. Registration by IBM Possible in Future Students are now being taught by IBM machines, they are rushing sororities by IBM machines and if University officials have their way, soon they will be registering by IBM machines. Martin L. Zeigler, director of student affairs research, said yesterday that a completely electronic registration is in sight. The Department of Student Af fairs Research and the Data Pro cessing Service have developed a “data flow system” which will eventually eliminate a great por tion of statistical cards at regis tration, Zeigler' said. Student affairs research, Zeig ler said, plans to’ gather all per tinent information about a stu dent prior to his freshman year. He said that this will eliminate asking the same questions se mester after semester. “However, arrangements will be made for changes,” he said. At present, students are re quired to fill out cards with in formation such as religious prefer ence, marital status, parents, home address and fraternity affiliation at each registration. This Information will be com piled and will be available throughout a student's years at “WHAT IS It's heat, son, that cooks our food. Light that brightens our homes.

Zeigler also said that the de partment plans to conduct a stu dent opinion survey. “It will be a study of student attitudes toward higher education, the University, the faculty and administration and life in gen eral,” he said. “We would also like to embark upon a study to see how these attitudes change from the fresh man to senior year,” he added. page five
