Why studentsŠ

[Timothy Pogacar]

In case no one has noticed, enrollments have been dropping
in virtually all languages but Spanish. (A Boston columnist
astutely observed last year that Americans consider it a
domestic language, and "if Mexicans can learn it Š" [As an
undergrad. Spanish major I disagree.]) The humanities in
general are on a three-decade slide. Instrumental reasons
for becoming acquainted with languages and some heritage
enrollments might help around the edges, but the humanities'
plight in U.S. is far more serious. --Tim Pogacar
