He said the Honors Program in English was not limited to English majors. "But, the student must have the same grade point qualifications of an honor,student" to participate in the program. Dr. Dunlap described the program as "half way between the conventional classroom and University without . walls, hopefully with the virtues of each." Dr. Dunlap said, "I believe this is the only four-year program at USC and that we are the only deartme touJilicla reWquie a mWseor thesis. "In practice, the thesis has proved to be less an onerous burden than an opportunity to concentrate on a topic of particular interest to the student, and con sequently a greater satisfaction than a term paper or final examination can afford." The third aspect of the program is the senior project. "This year," Dr. Dunlap said, "I hope 0hat R wili involve some 2 student The slogans "Death is Slavery," "StoD War," "Love," "Peace" and others were painted on the cannon in the Naval ROTC Armory Friday.

Perhaps the :students can edit and publish some of the lectures they will hear in the seminar." Dr. Dunlap emphasized the program was inter-disciplinary.

In asking what the par ticipants would say to the captain in the event that their claim d having received permission from Fitzgerel is untrue) , they mimicked "Captain, I'm he tidy up your gun." Ri uley suggested that in giving the' students permission, the captain was simply "joshing" and that he Fitzgerel) "Gets carried away". One of the participants asked "Does he (the captain) ever get carried away in the field with a gun ?" After a few moments of heated discussion and continued painting, the participants and onlookers left. Later Maj.

He said the ad ministration says it cannot do anything because of a "lack of funds," but Hughes said if the administration decIded to do something, they could obtain federal funds for necessary ren ovations. Hughes said he informed Dean Witten of this available aid, but was told only that it would be "looked into." Hughes said even with the state and federal laws, USC renovations ignored ac cessibility. He gave as an example a Russell House project that included the auditorium where movies are shown. He said before the renovations he and others were able to attend shows, but during the project, two steps were built to the movie room, thus making it inac cessible--against the law. (Cntmand anaa)
