Council Poll Shows Interest In Plan for Foreign Study

Results of a Student Council poll will be a "strong bargaining point" when the Council presents a plan for a Junior Year Abroad Program at Harvard to Dean Bundy, John W. Stokes '54, chairman of the committee for foreign credit, announced last night.

The poll, conducted to determine interest in the plan, showed 162 College and Radcliffe students in favor and 95 opposed through last week, but this response was from only half of those who received questionnaires.

Stokes said that the general consensus was in favor of some expansion of the present plan, which includes only those students majoring in the Romance Language Department. The students polled were majoring in Government, Economics, History, History and Literature, Fine Arts, Music, and Philosophy.

A strict language requirement would allow only those who had achieved fluency in a foreign tongue to participate in the program. Students who went abroad under the plan would need to satisfy the requirements of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences as well as their respective departments.
