The Jewish literature course will cover Eastern European writers and American writers such as Saul Bellow and Norman Mailer. By MARY ANN MCDONAGH Collegian Staff Writer To help students who want to learn about people of other lands by studying their literature, the College of the Liberal Arts has designed its comparative ''‘•literature program: In this program students can work all the way up to a doctoral degree or just take a course as an elective. Although there- are in troductory courses, none of the comparative literature courses jhave prerequisites. Robert Lima", associate professor of Spanish and comparative literature and head of I the program, said although j the direction of a class /depends on the in dividlial| instructor, all classy use a variety of in structional methods to give the* deepest possible insight into the literature.

The Daily Collegian Monday, July 23. 1973—3 Overall, Kelly said, the student advisers are “a very effective group.” “They know their job, and thev know their limitations and where to refer people, he said. “There is a great deal of interest in this around the country,” Kelly said. “Many people are very intrigued by both the self-advising and student adviser programs.” He said a team from Kent State University spent a day at Penn State talking to him, faculty mem bers, student advisers and selPadvising-students. The team was “extremely impressed” with the programs anti “felt a great deal of responsibility was involved on the part of the student,” he said. The College of Business Administration also has undergraduates advise freshmen, but on a smaller scale. William S. Decker, assistant dean for continuing education in the College of Business Ad ministration, said the program is run entirely by the College’s student council. Council members are in charge of selecting student applicants. Those who are'selected as advisers participate in a training program, of about seven or eight meetings. The students are given helpful materials and instructed on how to advise. Each adviser is assigned about 10 or 15 freshmen. Decker said the advisers’ job is to act as big brothers or sisters, help plan the advisee’s program, solve problems and act as an orientation counselor. Decker said the program is “designed to help make the transition from high school to the University a little easier.” :The College of Business Administration has only 15 student advisers because, Decker said, not many freshmen at University Park are business majors. Student advisers also help out at the College of Human Development. Those who wish to. be ad visers are interviewed and must take three credits of Human Development 400, offered for one credit each term. In this course, the students are taught how to advise freshmen entering the College. : About nine student advisers work in cooperation with three full-tiftie staff members. Most other colleges at the University still rely on the traditional faculty advisers to advise all the students. Allen R. Gray, professor of health and physical education, said his college “has some students who volunteer during orientation and registration, but they are not assigned.” Gray said every faculty member has not more than 20 students to advise. This is possible, he said, because the physical education faculty is large and the number of major students is relatively small compared to other colleges in the University. The' College of Education also uses graduate students along with faculty advisers. But these students are hired for their jobs. ilable .■•• V-Ti
