More Collegian letters Si'l vous plait? ! TO THE EDITOR: The Oct. 16 issue of The Daily Collegian carries a story about the proposed revision by the Core Colleges Committee of the requirements for the B.A. degree. The president of the Liberal Arts Student Council is quoted as saying: “All that the language cours'e accomplishes is a lowering of the student’s cumulative Average." The record shows to the contrary a high number df A's, B’s, and C’s in elementary and intermediate foreign language courses. The remarK also is inaccurate when we consider those students whd, after taking various language courses, put the knowledge and experience they have acquired to good use in foreign travel and study abroad, advanced undergraduate and graduate work, and work in various jobs where the use of a foreign language is beneficial or necessary. Furthermore many students may inot -be" aware that numerous alternatives in foreign language courses are now available: audio-lingual courses meeting either three or five days a week, intensive language courses, supervised self instruction, reading courses for science students and audio visual courses. 1 Also, all foreign language departments have a policy of granting credit by placement examination ’without change, thus enabling the student to capitalize on high school foreign language study. Told you so TO THE EDITOR: On Oct. 8, John Harris and I submitted a resolution to the USG Senate concerning support for impeachment procedures against Richard M. Nixon. We hoped by this to introduce a dialogue into the Senate concerning issues of a scope wider than the boundaries of State College, yet still very much an integral part of our lives as students and voting citizens of the United States. The resolution also called for the ,USG Senate to take immediate action by drafting a letter! to the Pennsylvania delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives, urging them to begin impeachment ; proceedings. jThe resolution was defeated both in committee and again when it was brought out on the floor. I Yet over the weekend, because of Nixon's unjustifiable firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, the! anti-Nixon sentiment is crysializing in an all-out effort by a large number of congressmen to get impeachment proceedings underway. They are being backed up by large andipersistent crowds of demonstrators at the White House, influential Senators and labor leaders.

Regina Canuso 4th-political science Fog in Pattee TO THE EDfTOR: It has come to our attention that many people are wandering around Pattee Library in a fog of confusion. It is through no fault of their own that science majors cannot find science books, engineering majors cannot find engineering books or philosophy majors cannot find philosophy books, et cetera. The problem lies in the complexity of the classification system and the lack of adequate library information. Administration officials at Pattee should seriously consider making adjustments to eliminate some of the confusion. A pamphlet containing a map and information on use of our library could be very helpful. Another aid may be to increase the number of library assistants, and having the staff more easily identified. We believe if the confusion is reduced then the student could put to better use the time lost io’the library. Not those letters! TO THE EDITOR: I am tired of reading about petty hang-ups of coeds’ love life. Surely if the public has come to accept Watergate as old hat, the articles on PSU coeds rank a close second. Entering an article of this caliber into a widely distributed newspaper can be overlooked. The thought of making a habit out of it makes me nauseous. Getting up every morning at seveii o'clock and going to breakfast is a traumatic experience in itself. But opening the paper to Joe Shmoe’s physical and psychological problems with the woman of his dreams makes me wish I was back in'bed. i I’d imagine that in a university of 30,000 students, The Daily Collegian must receive many interesting letters. Apparently the editors worked very hard to find the dullest letters ever published To the people that agree with me, I offer my sympathies. To all the Romeo and Juliets of PSU, I hope you find the love of your life and live happily ever after !
