of languages Timothy W. Ulman was recently named to succeed Mrs . Marilyn Crist as chairman of the foreign language department. Having taught German at Palomar for a year and a half, Ulman has a BA and a MA in German from UCLA, He previously taught German at UCLA as a teaching assistant and asssociate. Basically an administrative position, the chairmanship is mainly concerned with coordinating funds in t he department. It also invol ves representing the department in committee meetings and c oordinating instructors with the classes. "Right now the main thrust of the department is in the planning of alternate and supplementary c ourses to our regular program. Last year we introduced the cultural heritage course. Right now it is a half travel guide, half cultural guide to the various countries. In the future this class may develop into one class on cultural history and one on the literature of the various languages in translation. "We would also like to offer Russian as a day course and add Latin to the curriculum. Another possible addition could be c onversational courses in German and French similar to the current Spanish 11 course, conversational Spanish, where students are individually exposed to conversations with native speakers. However, without e nough student interest we can't organize these c l asses. "The problem that concerns us right now is the fact that more and more four year colleges are seriously reforming their language programs. In some cases old programs are totally abandoned while others have been reduced to a great extent. We ar e slightly apprehensive a nd quite curious as to how this will affect enrollment in future language programs."
