University honors program
rated in top 10 in country
By CAROLYN TATUM
News editor
The University's honors pro
gram is probably among the
top 10 such programs at state-
supported schools in the coun
try. according to Dr Lothar L.
Tresp. program director.
"More than 1.000 students
were enrolled in the program
last year, and we expect about
the same number this year."
Tresp said
"Approximately 85 per cent
o! the freshmen attending the
University who are invited to
participate enroll in the pro
gram. Transfer students have
a much harder time finding (he
courses lo lake and thus a
smaller per centage of those
eligible enroll." Tresp said.
THE HONORS program, be
gun at the University in 1960, is
"an effort to provide the
superior undergraduate stu
dents with intellectual oppor
tunities beyond those generally
found in the University class
room" Tresp said. "The pro
gram seeks to bring together a
group of intelligent, goal-
oriented students into small
classes with professors select
ed for their leaching ability
and interest," he added.
Classes usually number be
tween 10 and 15 students,
according to Tresp. "This al
lows the students to have
direct personal contact with
top faculty members, some
thing unknown on most large
campuses." Tresp added.
Tresp listed numerous other
fringe benefits involved with
the program. Honor students
are given priority considera
tion for University-administer
ed financial aid, and first
choice on all classes in compu
ter registration. They are also
allowed greater curriculum
flexibility and are allowed to
take some graduate level and
independent study courses.
ALTHOUGH TRESP was
quick to point out that there
are no "typical” program par
ticipants, most of those in
volved are from Georgia.
Participating students have
differing opinions of the pro
gram. One person who had
participated in the program for
four years complained that the
courses are often used to gel
out of doing work. "A great
majority of the honors profes
sors just let students get by
with doing nothing because
they are in the honors pro
gram.
IT'S A GREAT opportunity
for learning and you often do
learn a lot more. Your interac
tion with professor is closer
and the classes are smaller,
but 1 don't think the opportu
nity for learning is always the
main reason people get in the
program." he said
According to Tresp. honors
program students may get into
the program- to participate in
some of the advantages it
offers or just for the prestige
involved, "but. one thing is
certain, they all have to do the
work or find themselves out of
the program.
Students in the program
must maintain a general cu
mulative average of 3.3 and an
honors average of 3.0. If a
student's grades drop below a
3.3. lie is given two quarters to
redeem himself "If the grades
don't come back up. the stu
dent is excluded from the
program and can not re-enter
until his grades are up again,"
Tresp said
Freshman eligibility is deter
mined by the test scores on the
Scholastic Aptitute Test (SAT)
and high school record Any
student who achieves a 3.5
average during his undergrad
uate college career may enter
the program upon his request,
according to Tresp.
