State University will implement a new foreign language placement
test beginning fall semester 2003.
The test will be required of new students to the
university and first-time language students.
This new placement test is only for the languages
of Spanish, German and French; the Latin placement testing will
remain the same. Because so many who enroll are beginners, classes
in Chinese, Japanese and Russian have no placement test.

diets or exercising excessively to reach a certain weight could

“One fourth of all college women have some
type of an eating disorder. It’s really become an epidemic,”
Denise Lovins, a psychologist at the Counseling and Wellness Center,
said Friday. “All women at one point and time feel the pressure
to be thin and accepted.”
