Predictions that unemployment would rise to 10 per cent may "turn out to be correct," he said. Robinson sounded an optimistic note by saying he thought the rate of consumer price inflation would be "substantially lower" this year than last and "should tend to decrease" as 1975 progressed. He emphasized what he called the seriousness and "unnec- essary severity" of the current vit ma ~ recession. But he said "there is no reason to fear that it will turn into a major depression."

Our college programs for a foreign language major require a maximum of slightly over 500 hours over four years. Obviously enough, why should we be able to handle the job in one third of the tim e, when the Canadians, who have an actual experience and need in French,(and therefore can be accredited \^ith knowing what they are doing), require three times as much time as we do? As a ' well known linguist from Harvard University, Professor Wil- liam G. Moulton, points out in a recent article listing his fifteen conclusions about foreign language learning, that continuous preoccupation with the language in whatever form it may be is paramount to any other considera- tion. Nor is it reasonable to kill one's curiosity and interest in a foreign language with deadening grammar studies or routine exercises when so many different fields of daily applica- tion are available. But, of course, he too recognizes that something has to go: the pre-established academic foreign language programs that discourage and eliminate a student unwilling or inable to follow in lockstep.

Final nominations for Assembly officers and committees were as follows: Chairperson--David Chesnoff, Jeff Gonzalez; co-chairper- son-Tom Kemp, Richard Zeckerdorf, Alan Aronowitz, Lee Raisfeld; Secretary-Daryl Murray; Student Hearing Board-Kathy Gasner. It was announced that all groups and organizations funded by the Student Assembly Financial Committee must submit budget reports by April 17. A plan is being formulated which would require all organizations to report on their finances every two months. The University committee reported several improve- ments in the Student Handbook and the school catalogue. Due to rising production costs, both publications must cut corners. It was also mentioned that the University may consider changing the present security policy on campus as a result of a recent intrusion by outside police forces. what's happening
