College Studies History Preparation Certification in the teaching of history and social sciences Is being studied by the state board of education. The study is being made in conjunction with representatives from the various colleges throughout the state. \ i MI I..mi.

Offered
A twenty-hour course, the class is taught by Father Robert Patterson. As well as presenting a new study at each class meeting, Father Patterson gives a review of the preceding study and a preview of the following study.

in relation to what the individual college can accomplish. By next spring It Is hoped that the schools can report to the state. This report will be on the basis for higher requirements for certification in these fields. 30 Hours Required Longwood s present requirements for a major in history and the social sciences are 15 hours in history, and 15 hours from two of the following fields; government, social sciences, or georgraphy. To be certified in history requires 18 hours of that subject. Certification to teach geography economics, or government requires 6 hours in the particular subject. Raised Standards Asked A tentative proposal suggests 42 hours for a major Including 18 hours in history and 6 hours in each of the following courses, government, geography, ecoDORlUM, The hours required for certification in history would be raised to 24 hours. Certification in economics, government or georgaphy would require 12 hours in the particular field. Preparation Hoped Better It is felt that the more stringent requirements would eliminate a teacher'.- having to teach a subject In which she h.i.s little or no preparation. The preparation which he would receive would be increased in depth and range. Study Expanded
This method of intensely studying a field has been completed for the field of educational psychology. A study In physical and health education Is near completion, and recently, a study of library science was Initiated. There are plans for a study of music and English to start this year.

Gobblers Scratch U.Va. Gridmen; Giants, Yankees Play In Series By Marcia Siegfried Sportswise, this past weekend was a busy one, with the college football games and the World Series dominating most of the sports picture. Tech Defeats UVa At the biggest Virginia game Saturday, the Harvest Bowl In Roanoke's Victory Stadium, the Virginia Tech Gobblers downed the University of Virginia Cavaliers 20-15. Virginia was leading at halftime by one point, but lost their lead in the third quarter when Tech scored two touchdowns. The Cavaliers scored again in the last quarter, but their last attempt to score was foiled by a fumble and a Tech interception on the Cavaliers 11 yard line in the last few minutes of the game. H-S Lows In our own area of Virginia, Hampden-Sydney suffered a 227 defeat to Sewanee University in Tennessee after leading at halftime 7-6. In the last half, Sewanee jumped back with two touchdowns of 84 yards and 58 yards, respectively, and two successful runs for the extra points, giving Sewanee 16 points and the victory. Other games of interest were also battled out Saturday: William and Mary 29-Citadel 23: Emory and Henry 38-Washington and Lee 33: Western Maryland K-Randolph-Macon 0: Duke 28Florida 21: and Boston College 18-VMI 0. Major games this coming weekend will be Virginia Tech vs. Richmond: Virginia vs VMT: Randolph-Macon vs. Washington and Lee: Western Maryland vs. Hampder.-Sydney; and Davidson vs. William and Mary. World Series In baseball, the seven game playoff for the World Series pennant is underway, After winning over the Los Angeles Dodni a three-game playoff last week, the San Francisco Giants clinched the National League pennant. This week, the Giants are facing the seemingly perennial American League pennant
