Page 4 THE BATTALION Tuesday, March 2,4, 1953 Basic Course Taken From Required Study Basic 101 has been elimi nated from the required curricula of the college and will now be offered as an elec tive along- with several other basic courses, said J. R. Bertrand, Dean of the Basic Division. Entering students next fall will take a series of tests to determine their interests, achievements, apti tudes and personalities. After com pleting these tests, students may choose the electives that will be most beneficial to them, Bertrand said. The new plan is a move to help students in choosing thej^- voca tions and was introduced by the deans of the various schools. The plan will be executed in the three following steps': 1. Determination of the students’ needs. 2. Study of the vocations and opportunities. 3. Correlation of the first two steps. The curricula in every school will have space for two elective basic courses, but courses will be optional to the students, Bertrand stated. Freshmen next fall will be re quired to meet assembly every week for about a month to heqr outstanding speakers and an nouncements which concern them.
