The course comprised one lecture and one discussion session per week. Fifty sludents are enrolled in the course. Roxie Hobson, coordinator of Women's Studies, said that "some of the lectures have been beeter than others .. . (the lectures) have represented the many varied roles of women in the American society." "There could be some improvements in the course," she said, "but overall, I have been very pleased with the course . .. Any freshman, sophomore or junior student interested in federal government summer employment opportunities for 1976 will be required to take the Federal Summer Employment Exam. Copies of Announcement 414 which outlines procedures for applying are available at the Summer Center Plus or at the Placement Office (lower level Alumni House). New minor in Women BY JUDY LEBOLD Staff Writer "The Women's Studies Program is in the process of being approved as a minor," Roxie Hobson, coordinator of Women's Studies said. At the present time, the Women's Studies Program is an 18 hour interdepartmental certificate program. Changing to a minor program involves "no advantages or disadvantages." said Ms. Hobson. However, "we (the Women's Studies Committee) have had student requests to change it (the certificate program) to a minor," she said. The Women's Studies Committee "hopes it (the minor) will be official by May ... so that students presently enrolled in the Women's Studies Program may take the minor designation by graduation," Ms. Hobson said. The requirements of the certificate program (or the minor) include "The Introduction to Women's Studies" (WMS 250). the Senior Seminar and four of the seven women's studies courses offered in the departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. especially since we (the Women's Studies Committee) had to cut out some of the speakers because of lack of funds." The lectures have included such subjects as sexism in language, women in sports, women in western literature and the different cultural aspects of international women. "Generally, students have responded positively to the Women's Studies Program . . the students have been pleased with the interdepartmental courses," Ms. Hobson said. Ms. Hobson hopes that the Women's Studies Program will provide an atmosphere that will allow "women to grow personally as well as intellectually." In its beginning, the Women's Studies Program "needed community support," said Ms. Hobson. "Now we (the WMS committee) want to see the Women's Studies Program become more student oriented. We hope to be able to becaome more involved in the areas of research and teaching, however, we want to maintain a good, working relationship with the community. The Women's Studies Committee is "very eager to hear new ideas from students," said Ms. Hobson. During the spring semester, Ms. available 9s Studies Students interested in entering the Women's Studies Program should talk to Ms. Hobson or Dr. Roy Schantz so that "students can better plan their program," Ms. Hobson said. If a student is grapduating and has fulfilled the requirements of the WMS Program then that "student must notify academic advising," Ms. Hobson said. If academic advising is not notified then the "courses could be taken for granted as electives," she said. Hobson will go to each dorm and talk about the Women's Studies Program to the students. Ms. Hobson believes that these discussions will help the WMS committee "be aware of current student interest." Ms. Hobson feels that the reason UNC-G needs a Women's Studies Program is "to supplement, not to replace, existing departmental offerings. The purpose of Women's Studies is to call attention to the roles women have long played in the development of society. Unfortunately, the role of women has long been overshadowed in many of the disciplines. I would hope that eventually the Women's Studies will be incorporated into every discipline." The Women's Studies Office (Patterson Apt. 4, Spring Garden) is open on Tuesday mornings. Those who wish to discuss the Women's Studies Program with Ms. Hobson may also reach her at the history department.

Pictured here are Brenda Caldwell, Lori Daren, Terry Hutton, Jane McLeod. Debbie Overton, and Cecelia Tenser. Seminar to focus on world view of US BY JANE PATRICK News Editor Students will have a chance to form their own opinions about world affairs through the spring International Studies Seminar, "How the World Views the United States." Dr. Claude Chauvigne of the Romance Language Dept. and Dr. Lynn Wright of the History Dept. will be the instructors for the seminar. According to Chauvigne, the purpose jf the weekly-meeting seminar is "to give students a view on events and subject matter that is not treated in courses per se on this campus. Students can really come to their own conclusions on subjects which they wouldn't have had a chance to study." "We have these seminars every year within the International Studies Program. Every year there is a different title," Chauvigne said. In past years, topics have been imperialism, revolutions, and the changing role of women. He added that the response in past years has been good. The seminar is open for credit to juniors, seniors, and sophmores with special permission. All sessions are poen to the public. A major focus of the seminar will be on speakers. The first meeting will involve a panel discussion between foreign students of UNC-G and Guilford College. They will discuss the feelings of their compatriots towards the United States. Chauvigne said. Five speakers, from the Soviet Union, Japan. India, Latin rherica, and Africa will speak to the students. The speakers will not necessarily be giving the opinions of their respective governments, Chauvigne said. Tie speakers are journalists who will discuss the opinions of the people from their nations, he said. Thus, their lectures will focus on what the people they represent think of America. He predicted that the only spokesman who will totally represent the sentiments of his government will be the speaker from the Soviet Union. During the period that the students will be hearing the foreign representatives, they will be researching the feelings of a particular area on the United States. They will report on how these areas of the world feel about the nation.
