nounced two new courses that will be of-
fered in the Fall semester of 78.
The two new courses are ESL 231,
“Masterpieces in British and American
Literature,” and ESL 232, “World
Masterpieces in English Translation.”
R. Victoria Price, of the modern
language department, will be teaching
both classes.
ESL 231 is a critical study of six to ten
major works in British and American
literature and representative works
from most of the major periods. ESL
232 is a critical study of six to ten major
works of world literature in various
genres, from classical antiquity to the
present century.
ffoth courses can be applied toward
the sophomore literature requirement
for students for whom English is a
second language. All international
students can take these courses in place
of another degree requirement.
Teachers hold annual conference
By KAREN McLANE
of the U.P. staff
The 30th annual Fall Conference for
Teacher Education will be held Nov. 6-
8, at the Dallas Hilton Hotel, in Dallas,
The theme of the conference will be
"Professional Decisions: Who Decides
What for Whom?”
There are five general sessions plan-
ned for the conference. The meeting
planned for Monday, Nov. 7, 6:30 p.m.,
will deal with the proposed professional
standards commission, and will be
presented by Dr. Richard Swain,
associate professor and head of
Lamar’s secondary education depart-
ment.
This bill, to be presented by the Texas
State Teachers Association (TSTA) in
the 66th Legislative session, will call for
the creation of a Texas Commission on
Standards for the Teaching Profession.
This commission, composed of
professionals, would have the authority
to make decisions concerning ad-
mission to the profession, approval of
training programs and institutions, and
professional practices. These decisions
currently rest with the State Board of
Education, a lay group elected by
general referendum.
According to Dr. Swain, allowing
teachers to govern themselves will help
maintain a high degree of quality in the
profession.
Other topics covered at the con-
ference will include: “Teacher Centers
- What Does the Future Hold?,”
“Statewide Planning for Inservice in
the 1980’s,” and “Local Accountability:
Accreditation of Public Schools.” '
Registration will be held on the Mez-
zanine, Sunday, 1:00 p.m. until 8:00
p.m., and Monday, 8:00 a.m. until noon.

Power Requirements for
Car Stereos
By Kirwin Melo, president of
Salmar Audio Centers
Today the trend is power! It’s up
to you to decide whether you will
use all the power you want. More
power (that is more RMS or ac-
tual power ratings) delivers a
clean sound at normal listening
levels and a cleaner sound at
those high DR ranges. Stay with a
minimum of 4 watts RMS per
channel and a maxium of 25.
Ratings over this are usually
more show than go. If easy
listening and smooth in-
strumental music is your bag, 4
watts RMS will fill the bill. Hard
rock and loud music buffs enjoy
the “kick” of a big power unit.
Another consideration is your
driving habits. If you keep your
windows closed, less power is
necessary, but if you leave your
windows down, or have a con-
vertible or some similar open air
vehicle, more power is for you.
Remember that is the unit
produces 12 watts RMS per chan-
nel, find a speaker that will han-
dle a minum of 20 watts sustained
power. Speakers can be over
driven and distort too soon
producing a clipped sound (less
bass and treble response). Stay
with the flush mount speaker
when possible; the wedge
speaker loses the lower end soun-
ds and will not handle the larger
power requirements of todays
units. Again, if you are troubled
see us for help.
