From the Office
Of the
President
Dr, Albert S. Raubenhe imer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, ond Sciences, prepares to put Into operation the revised academic curri-CL ,;m which promises to pro-v.de a broader cultural background for students.
LAS Program Revised for Fall Semester
More than 1700 students who are registered in the College of Letter. Arts, and Sciences, will return this week to an entirely revised curriculum.
Officially adopted last year by the university, the new plan, which was formulated by a committee headed by Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer dean of the College of Letters. Arts, and Sciences, has a three-fold purpose towards educational progress. WORK DIVIDED
Undergraduate work will be divided into two two-year periods with definite upper- and lower-division curricula. Students will be given an opportunity to set up either a division or a department major ir his upper-division years. It institutes a special honors program, for which the superior scholar can qualify in his third and fourth years with a 2.0 average or better.
In making this change, the committee hopes to consolidate and simplify basic liberal arts of ihe first two years into several fundamental course groups such as "The Development of Man and His Culture,” “The General Principle ol the Sciences,” and ' Appreciation of Art and Music ”
TAKEN IN ADDITION
These courses are to be taken in addition to work in English, foreign languages, and physical hygiene.
Tire committee also seeks by rearrangement of the depsrtment into six divisions—letters; social studies; biological sciences; physical sciences and mathematics; the arts; and health, physical education and education
In the honors program, the superior student, filtering in his junior year, takes only eight units of class work per semester. In addition, a directed program of intensive reading in the department of his major will be undertaken
Both old and new student* can take advantage of the change.

Fire Menaces Old College;
No Foolin
Old College alm-jst burned down last night . , . almost.
In fact. If the blaze had been about 300 times greater than it was, and if It were about 400 yards closer to the venerable building, and if tradition hadn t made Old College immune to almost anything . . . even fires ... it would have burned to the ground.
To get down to the hot facts ln the case, there WAS a lire last night, and it WAS near Old College, and a total of seven engines responded to the alarm, even though it required only three minutes for four men to quench the peewee conflagration.
According to one of the firemen, It all started about 6:40 pm. when a small rubbish fire west of the Operations and Maintenance buildings Ignited a pile of old rhalrs. wood, and pushcarts. One lone soul who was "working" in the O and M office at the time, the smoke-eater stated, di'ln't know what was happening until lt was all over.
