Classical studies resurrected
Heightened student and community in¬
terest in classical studies have been the
main causes for restructuring the program
at CSUF.    '
According to Stephen Benko. coordi-
' nator of classical studies, two new posi¬
tions have been approved by President
Harold Haak and Judith Kuipers. Vice-
President for Academic Affairs.
"One will be in foreign language." said
Benito, who holds a Ph.D. in history, "to
teach classical Greek and Latin."
He said this position was created because
of the exceptionally high interest in the
Theoi
ic   only   professor
by Kuipers to help plan th« changes.
Dr. Wayne Colver, the toramittee chair-
"beef up the languages that people inter¬
ested in the classics" must know to get jobs
teaching classical studies or to enter other
universities to continue their educations.
"WeVe restructured the minor, but are
still working out details," Colver said,
"and specifying the courses students must
Eventually, Colver added, the commit¬
tee would like to develop a major in classi¬
cal studies, given enough student interest.
"It would be centered in the languages,
with courses in history and philosophy
also," Colver said.
The Classical Studies program consists
of courses from many different depart¬
ments, such as history, drama, foreign
languages, and even, physical education.
"In physical education we have history
qf the Olympic Games, in political science
we have ancient political thought, and in
drama  we have Greek drama." Benko
said. "They are all pulled together into the
program called classical studies."
Student enrollment in the foreign Ian-"
guage classes of Latin and Greek has
increased, substantially in the past two
years, according to Benko.
This semester there are 3S students in
Victor Hanson's Latin IA class and 27
students in his Greek 1A course. Enrol¬
lment figures from last semester were
unavailable, but Benko said it represented
about double the enrollment from two
years ago.
With the strengthening of admission
standards for the CSU system, Colvcrsa id
he is seeing the emergence of Latin classes
at the high school level.
"The proposed tightening of admissions
standards, requiring two years of a foreign
language is starting to create a demand for
the reintroducing of Latin into the high
school curriculum," Colversaid.
Community support has been on the

upswing since Kuipers has shown an in¬
terest in the classical studies program.
Benko cited an anonymous donation of
J3S.000 sent in for the sole purpose of
helping of the program.
Friends of Ancient History.a commun¬
ity organization recently formed apart
from the university, concentrates on the
classics. Benko also pointed out the stu¬
dent organization called the Classical
Society, that meets regularly for lectures,
slide shows and discussions on the classics.
Both Benko and Hanson have written
books dealing with different aspects of
Classical Studies and have received very
favorable reviews.
Benko has published five books, one of
which was on the convention agenda of an
international group, the American Aca¬
demy of Religion. Hanson has published a
book entitled. "Warfare and Agriculture
in Classical Greecc"and has another book
in the works titled, "Ancient Greek Battle."

Pornography is also illegal when it
involves illegal acts such as rape, the kil¬

Snuff films, where people are actually
murdered for the movie, arc a form of

Some of the things sheriffs representa¬
tives will talk about Wednesday will be
how pornography is tied to organized
crime and'tHe changing definition of por¬
