New Regulations

A new course regulation comes into effect this year which will enable some students to enter for a B.A.(Hons.) course before completing the language requirement for B.A.

Professor Minn, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, told Salient: "The student would have to be excellent in every way except languages to be allowed to do this."

He pointed out that no student would he allowed to complete his Honours degree without the langauge requirement—the new regulation simply allowed him to have another try at the Reading Knowledge concurrently with his Honours course.

"The question of the Reading Knowledge requirement is not a dead subject," he said.

There have been changes in the curriculum for Stage 1 of some of the Romance langauges and Council has agreed to reconsider the matter of the Reading Knowledges at the end of the year, when the success of these changes can be guaged.

"But there is no change at the moment."
