Workers Party Sends Circulars for Support
SINGAPORE — (UPI)— David Marshall, former Chief Minister of Singapore, recently sent circulars to 1,000 members of his Workers Party seeking pledges of their support for reorganization of the party into a "stronger force."
He asked them to reply to his appeal by a certain date. By the deadline, Marshall had received 2,000 pledges—mostly from people who didn't even belong to the party.

Mathematics Courses OK
Chinese 2,3,and 4. This brings 11 more hours of that language to be offered beginning next semester.
These students will also have more required in the foreign language and humanities areas beginning this year. Replacing the one-time ruling of ten hours needed of foreign language, the newly-approved requirement reads:
Mathematics Courses OK The College Administrative Committee and the Senate Advisory committee also approved these new mathematics courses: Remedial Mathematics A (algebra) and Remedial Mathematics B (geometry).
"The student may complete ten hours or the equivalent in a foreign language and three principal courses in the humanities area, or 13 hours or the equivalent of a foreign language and two principal courses in the humanities area."
The last-mentioned courses will carry three to five hours credit. It is to be a close study of Existentialism, with reference to its foundations in philosophy, its expression in literature and its influence upon psychology.
Students wanting to take one of the new philosophy courses next semester may choose a Seminar in the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Whitehead, or Seminar: Existential Theory in Philosophy, Psychology and Literature.
A report from the office of the College states there are 22 now enrolled in mathematics A and 92 enrolled in the new geometry course.
Degree Causes Changes Additional required courses for physical therapy students were also approved at the meeting. Dean Heller said the College faculty had to accept new stipulations in the program because a bachelor of science degree is now offered instead of a bachelor of arts degree.
Physical therapy students beginning this year will be required to take Sociology 1. This was not needed in previous course requirements.
