Gov. Majors Face Revised Generals

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Some sophomores and juniors concentrating in Government may have to change their programs next year in order to prepare adequately for their general examinations, Inis L. Claude, Jr., assistant professor of Government, predicted last night.

"The new regulation is a minor change in the manner in which the general exams are set up, but the change will stop the tendency of some men to over-concentrate in their special field," Cluade explained. He emphasized that the changes will not go into effect until next year.

Starting in 1955, all government concentrators will have to answer questions on the generals from fields outside their own special interests. At present non-honors candidates can complete the test by answering only questions related to their special fields. Under the new plan, students will have to answer one question from each of four different fields.

"Students will get a chance to prove what they know about their special field in the general exams two days later," Claude said.
