Starting in the fall of 187, students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences no longer will be able to fulfill their foreign-language requirement by taking two different languages.
The College Assembly yesterday approved a recommendation requiring students to become proficient in the use of allowing them to take two.
The recommendation, part of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising study to revamp the University's core curriculum, passed after the Assembly defended an article in which he suggested the current two-language option.
the current two-hour language.
The amendment to the CUSA recommendation would have kept the option for students to choose between taking 20 hours of two languages or 16 hours of one.
TO ENCOURAGE students to become more proficient in a language at an advanced level, CUSA recommended that the foreign language requirement be changed so that students would not have the option of taking 10 hours of one language and 10 of another.
Robert Frauf, professor of physics and astronomy, said he was against the amendment to the CUSA recommendation because it would not allow students to develop proficiency in a language that might be necessary later in life.
"Even though I've been to numerous countries and dabbled in different languages, I still think it's important that students develop a strong background in just one language." Friauf said.
Most student representatives present, however, seemed to be in favor of the amendment to keep the two-language option.
JUDY FOLEY, OMHA, Neb.
 junior and student representative,
said she supported the amendment because it allowed students to maintain flexibility in choosing majors and in deciding which language they liked.
"I think students should have the option of choosing whether they want to go with two languages or just one." Foley said. "As freshmen or sophomores, students could change interests or majors and want to take a different language course if I had no interest in the introductory course in one language, they would virtually be forced to take 11 hours more of that language."
Robert Spires, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said he thought it often was in a student's best interest to develop a proficiency in one language.
