Augustana, B.A. Monmouth College, A.B, Augustana College, B.A. University of Southern California, M.A. University of Iowa, MA, Language Arts Each year at MCC students struggle to prove to language instructors that the pen is mightier than the sword. Propelled by the strong winds of self-gratification they set sail on the capricious seas of rhetoric, literature, speech, and foreign language. Rhetoric courses provide ample exercise in modes of written communication emphasizing, as well as composition, vocabulary develop- ment through both direct word study and reading experiences. Writing a research paper keeps the busy student even busier during the second se- mester of rhetoric. Oral communication techniques, fundamen- tal and advanced, are the function of Speech 101 and its big brother, Speech 111. Up on the platform, Project,,' and '4Contact are familiar epithets as all MCCers bow to the muse of speech art. One semester of speech is necessary for graduation from MCC. An increasing variety of student interest and needs has stimulated enrollment in lan- guage electives this year. English and Amer- ican literature, Spanish, technical writing, reading speed and comprehension and journa- lism have continued to enjoy high popularity among our students. Outside novel reading is required in both literature classes. The art of being able to converse in idiomatic Spanish is stressed in the beginning Spanish course. Journalism stu- dents are required to cover news beats around the campus. One day is spent at the Moline Daily Dispatch, the class members going with a Dispatch reporter on his beat. CLARA O.

Social Studies MCC offers a comprehensive and detailed social studies program to meet the ever increasing need of students to learn about the problems of the world in which they live. Social studies courses are offered in three areas: geog- raphy, history, and sociology. Elements of Geography deals with the physical makeup of the World and planetary relations. Introduction to Economic Geography is the study of industrial develop- ment and world trade. These classes are conducted both by lecture and laboratory techniques. In the field of history a variety of courses is offered: History of Western Civilization, American History, Intel- lectual and Political History of the United States, History of England, and Current Problems. Most of these courses carry outside reading and term papers. Sociology is composed of two one semester courses: Introduction or Principles of Sociology and Social Factors in Personality. These courses deal with the factors of human relations in the group and in social behavior. So- cial Factors in Personality treats the problems of leader- ship, the business world, and family life. Here again term papers are required.
