For instance, humanities majors would have science minors while S/E's would have academ minors (generally the social sciences would be considered with the humanities). Examples of the type of combination desired would be an anthropology major with a natural science minor or a mechanical engineering major with a minor concentrating on, say, the history of technology. Reasons for his proposal include the university's need to create more well-rounded students and to integrate its science and engineering programs with its humanities and social science departments. This proposal will require changes in the present distribution requirements and a strengthened advising system in order to work. Originally. Rice emphasized the S/E majors to the exclusion of others. An attitude existed — and to some extent still remains ----- that the other departments exist for S/ E's to take distribution or to fall back upon if they need to drop their S/E major. This attitude has lessened as Rice has become more of a university. Unfortunately, as the academic departments became larger and more numerous, the liberal ideas of learning which grew in the sixties took root at Rice. Students demanded more freedom in their course scheduling. As a result of added choices in Oaivac^^eu scheduling, however, students also decided whether they had PRUNING THE HEDGES/bv Jack L.
