For Honors Program
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
Honors courses at t h e
University have achieved
limited accomplishment
because of limited objec
tives, according to Lee W.
Chatfield. associate dean of
student affairs.
Although the courses
have been somewhat suc
cessful, Chatfield said,
there is a need for expan
sion. "The purpose of the hon
ors courses is to increase
intellectual involvement,"
he said, "not to provide ac
celerated courses."
GOALS
Chatfield cited a two-fold
goal established with the
courses.
"First of all. they are to
give something more than
lip-service to the very
bright, interested student
by recognizing his ambition
In education," he said.
The other goal is to en
able the faculty to learn
more about teaching by
working with especially in
tellectually concerned stu
dents. SUCCESS
Proof of the honors cours
es' success is the continued
interest of students invited
to take the voluntary cours
es. Most of the honors cours
es are on the freshman le
vel, especially in the sub
jects of English, history and
philosophy.
"Many of our more able
freshmen are going to the
so-called prestige schools."
he said. "We are trying to
fight this somewhat by of
fering the honors courses,
which those schools also of
fer. Chatfield added that in
most departments the hon
ors concept has not yet been
applied beyond the fresh
man level.
VALIDITY'
Robert L. Hough, associ
ate dean of the college of
Arts and Sciences, ques
tioned the validity of the
concept of the courses.
"The ideas of small class
es and individual attention
are fine." he said, but

many people are beginning
to reevaluate honors cours
es which only include the top
students.
Hough, who attended the
National Collegiate Honors
Conference in Washington,
D C, last month, said that
the honors system is under
going serious evaluation on
many campuses.
"The question is who are
we trying to help?" he said.
CHEATING OTHERS
Putting select students in
special classes, may cheat
the other students.
Hough said there are
good students who are not
in the honors courses but
who need the stimulation

invited into the honors
courses.
Currently, between five
and ten per cent of incoming
students at the University
are involved in freshman
honors courses, Chatfield
said. He estimated that
300 freshman are currently
enrolled in one or more of
the courses.
Although efforts are be

work in honors courses,
many of the teachers con

DearMr.Galvin:
Thank you very much for your invitation to present my views on business. J hope that
what i have io say will not only be representative of flow students like me feet, but
will give us a chance to resolve our differences In a constructive manner.
I am a graduate student in engineering and I am not planning a career in business. My
decision to pursue a life of teaching and research is based on a great deal of thought,
introspective thought, about what kind of person want to be and how i want to
spend my life. ! have been profoundly influenced by the value of real interpersonal
relationships and I demand for myself the opportunity to pursue these freely. I am
also intrigued by ideas for their own sake. Thus I have chosen teaching and research
as a career.
In order to present my viewpoints and to indicate why i do not desire a career in
business i will briefly describe tour maw areas of concern to me which I wiij treat
individually in later letters. " . .. -.
First, i wonder if ) would be happy as .an individual if i were a businessman. For instance,
what are my prospects for individual creativity and .nonconformity m my first ten
years as a junior businessman? I have np jnteVest m making money except to be
comfprlaWe and 1 feel that making money for its pyi'n ske is a rather sterile and self
centered goal. Thus how much would, the dollar sign dominate .my relationships
with other businessmen? .. .. .. .. : '
Second, business has enormous power to effect social change yet the emphasis
seems so often to be Jo make the product shinier, bigger, or more eye-catching for the
sake of sales. Business is not primarily interested in social change witness our
poor people stagnating in the cities and remote rural areas while millions are spent
on advertisins Jg patch the eye of the middte-income housewife.
Third, if after many years of struggling upward through a company, I were finally
in a position to raake large-scale economic decisions could 1 really be the
philanthropist? How would my stockholders and my board chairman react in general
io propels of considerable social merit but small ar uncertain economip return?
Would J decide that my effort to attain this position of responsibility was worth B?
Fourth, who is 1o decide where business will go Jn the future? Is business really
going to be capable of undertaking the changes that the new generation is going io
a6k of it? 1 leel that the real action is going to take place outside the immediate sphere
" of teusmess either in Jhe government or tn the academic world. - .
-Thank you -for -yew -consideration;- - -

Dean Stresses 20th
By Christie Schwartzkopf
Junior Staff Writer
Dean of Student Affairs
at the University of Ken
tucky, Dr. Doris Seward,
stressed a need for aware
ness of evolving designs of
the twentieth century at the
AWS Mortar Board spon
sored seminar on graduate
school Monday night.
"Attitudes are changing."
said Dr. Seward. "Some
men and women are re
jecting traditional ideas
about the woman and her
career." She added that
"the world needs brains.
This is not a man's world
it is a brain's world," she
told the 100 students at

are different today," she
said. These are her life
span, her work expectation,
and her educational require
ments. She asked that students
project their thoughts in the
long range, noting that the
life span of today's youth
should encompass 100 years.
A result of this predicted
long life span will be that
most women in the United
States will work at least 25
years. Most of her 25 years
of employment, Dr. Seward
said, "will occur after her
children leave home."
Dr. Seward recommend
ed that women go on to
graduate school if they have
the potential. She cautioned,
however, against thinking of
