Importance Of Language Study Given By MARY ANN McCURRY Mrs. Ruby M. Ott, professor of Spanish and French in the foreign language department at the uni versity has answered the impor tant question all students ask at least once during their four years of college study: "What is the value of taking a foreign langu age?" Or, more bluntly, "What good is this stuff gonna do me?" To this Mrs. Ott replies it is one step in the process of being educated, for a knowledge of a foreign language is an important phase of a liberal education. One without this knowledge is said to have a "blind spot," or incomplete ness, just as lack of mathematics ur uLhti vital subjects would leave a blind spot. Study of a language has other values, Mrs. Ott explained. It helps to open fields of literature and art between foreign countries, and also helps create understanding between different people. Also, reading knowledge of a foreign language is required for M.A. de gree candidates. Registration for Spanish and French remains about equal at the university, Mrs. Ott said. Popu larity of Spanish rose over that of French during the last war and afterwards, but the two studies are now on an equal basis once more.

P.)-A new plan for sorority rushing, called the "Washington Plan" and adapted after a similar rushing program successfully used at the University of Washington. will be come effective this semester at the University of Maryland. The new nine point plan will benefit the sororities by helping them to fill their quota system; it will not af fect informal rushing. The plan is as follows: 1. An Executive Committee of 15 girls, one from each sorority on campus, will drop out of fall rush ing and live in the dorms. During the re h period the girls will not wear their pins and will not have any cvntact with sororities. 2. Representatives from the Committee will hold individual con rerences with each sorority two days before rushing to determine now many girla each desires to iffiliate. 3. The size of a sorority's poten :ial pledge class is determined by he Executive Committee. 4. The number of invitations lent by a sorority and the groups affected is controlled. Those need ing the most girls receive more names. 5. A complete chart is kept on cach rushee. 6. If a group gives a preference bid, it is morally obliged to give a final bid. 7. Any sorority not giving a Ad to a legacy must tell the com rnittee and they will talk to the girl. 8. The giving out of bids will e handled by non-affiliated secre ;aries as before.
