The Latin American Studies Steering Committee has recommended

that the following changes in their program requirements be introduced

into the 1973-74 calendar. I endorse their recommendations and forward

them to SCUS for its consideration.

Changes in Requirements

A. Language Requirements

Fi"1O!,

Portuguese - no change

Rationale: After the experience of 1 years of operation the committee

feels that the original requirements of three language courses

was unnecessarily stringent upon students wishing to pursue the

program. The feeling is that the reduction in competence in the

language will be outweighed by an increase in substantive

knowledge obtained through exposure to one of the "content"

If these are approved they should be reflected in the requirements listed here.

Rationale: formally students could use only one of LAS 402-5, 403-5, or

404-5 toward the satisfaction of the Upper Division requirements for the

degree, but because the content of the seminars vary the committee

feels that there is no logical reason for excluding a student from

using any of them in satisfaction of the program requirements.

However, because there are only 14 hours required from the upper

division and because we recognize the need for exposure to the

disciplines, we feel that two courses from the LAS offerings is appro-

priate.
