English, Journalism, Foreign Language THOMAS F. BATELL Associate Professor Acting Department Head, English, Journalism and Foreign Languages Morton Junior College, AA, Knox College, A.B,, University of illinois, M.A. The objectives of the English Department are necessarily determined by the objectives of Black Hawk as a junior college, stated Mr. Thomas Batell, acting department head, Eng- lish, journalism and foreign language. The department added five new in- structors this year as well as two new courses - Creative Writing - Poetry, and English 092. The general trend this year in all English classes was toward individual assistance. This trend is particularly evident in English 092. Also the de- partment allows tor creative and imaginative writing in advanced writ- ing courses. Added to the regular journalism courses were Mass Communications and Newspaper Lab, both new this year. Mr. James A. Koch has become Assistant Professor of journalism and Director of Public Relations, The new language lab which was in- stalled last year, is in tull use this year in teaching French, Spanish, Rus- sian and German.

.lx i GARY L. FOX Assistant Professor D artm nt H d A t ep e ea , r Illinois State University at Normal, B.S., M.S. ,,,.,.,.... Art Department Exhibits Local Talent 30 MARY E. PONSFORD fgx Instructor Art Illinois Wesleyan University, '49 B.F.A.g University of Q-iq, Minnesota, M.F.A. This year the Art Department staff is composed of five instruc- tors each of whom is an exhibiting artist in his own right. The depart- ment is looking with a great deal of anticipation toward more facili- ties that are more conducive to the exhibiting of local art work, and that of outside sources including material from other colleges and universities, museums and galleries. The Art Department began the year with sixty majors and numer- ous non-art people totaling ap- proximately one hundred and eigh- ty students. lt is striving to pro- vide the student with one of the best programs possible. Working to develop a complete two-year terminal curriculum in advertising design is one of the ways in which the department hopes to do this. This expansion of both Sculpture and Ceramic classes to a full year provides the student with a greater opportunity to work in depth in these particular discipl- ines. With all these new improve- ments the department hopes to provide Black Hawk College's Art students with a-challenging and rewarding two-year program.
