I F- lor niversal Integrity Write too much rather than too little, but be specific! is the command from the head of the History and Government Department as those inevitable blue books are passed out to anxious students.

Otterbeins unique Foreign Lang- uage Department has put this theory into practice, as Dr. Lavelle Rosselot last year laid aside old textbooks to create one of her own, a two-year lilm-text which is now in use and will probably be com- pleted this September. This film, the only one of its kind, is in French and depicts not only the language of these people, but also their customs, mannerisms and way of life. On completion, it will be available to other instructors in the lield. Plans are in progress for a similar project for the German classes, and al- ready slides and tapes are being used by Miss Wilstmii in her Spanish classes. qv
