CULTURAL COURSES OFFER
ED STUDENTS
For those desiring cultural
background in departments
other than their major or
minor field the following op
portunities are given. The
Latin Department will offer
a course in Beginner’s Latin,
designed to acquaint students,
who have not studied Latin,
with the culture and the lan
guage of the Rom'ans. Stu
dents internationally minded
will be given an opportunity
to learn what the Nazi, Fas
cists, Soviets are doing to the
thinking of their countrymen
and the relation of that to
thinking in our own country
in a course in Comparative
Education offered by the De
partment of Education.
The ruling of the Southern
Asociation permitting nine
hours of Home Economics
courses to be counted toward
the A. B. degree will permit
liberal arts students to avail
themselves of courses in Cook
ing, Home Planning, Sewing,
and Child Care.
In 1935 the college will be
in a position to offer the
much desired Primary Certif
icate for teachers by the addi
tion of courses in Nature
Study and Primary Methods.
The growing desire of lib
eral arts students to qualify
for secretarial positions in
volving much more than a
knowledge of stenography
and typewriting will be met
by elective courses in Com
mercial French, Applied Psy
chology, Economic Geogra
phy, Business Mathematics,
and related subjects.
Attention of young women
who plan to do graduate
work in social service is di
rected to the year courses in
Economics and Sociology and
the new minor in Psychology
embracing Experimental Psy
chology, Mental Hygiene, and
Social Psychology.
Sorority initiations will
be held on the first Saturday
in March, the Pan-Hellemc
Council decided at a call
meeting recently.
This delayed date not only
will give Dr. Blair more
time to look over the grades
but will give the pledges
who made “E’s” time for re
examination, for every one
initiated this year must have
an average of “C” with no
“E’s.”
