umerical Control Course Now Gffered Numerical Control was offered during the spring semester for the first time by John Sainick,-Assistant Professor, who attended an eight week seminar on this new subject in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last summer. Interest in Numerical Control machine tools is in- creasing at a rapid rate each year and will have a pro- found effect in the metal fabricating industry which the college has recognized by purchasing equipment of this type for use in the course. Additional equipment is being studied for future procurement to merit the growing need for Numerical Control. The course was offered in the spring semester, one in the day program and one in the evening program for adults only. New curriculums and courses are continually being developed to serve community needs. The college has been designated an Area Vocational-Technical Center by the State Board of Vocational Education.

T xg X- .1. -? f'-i -57 ' 'Iii 'YI I , B .41 The versatile English Department was very active during the year. They helped supervise the student publications, the student Madrigal Dinner, the student Fine, Arts Festival, and the student Fine Arts Films. Mr. Van Raes, Mr. Terral, and Mr. Bennett helped the editorial staff of the Little Book. There was a feeling of disagreement with the book's title. lt was agreed that a new title should be selected. During the year there was an unusually good showing of literary criticism, poetry. prose, and essays. The Fine Art Films were a great success with the students. The unusual and funny, as well as the serious, were shown. Mr. Stevens was, for the most part, responsible for the selections shown. Mr. Van Raes and Mr.Keeley headed the English Department's section of the Madrigal Dinner and helped to create the mood of the medieval dinner. An innovation this year was the reservation of one section of English 091 for those whose native tongue is not English. The course will require that the student reach a proficiency determined by a Uni- versity of Michigan test. The course has been announced to the various community adult education classes so that interested people may know of the program. The department has added the following new equipment: a movie projector, tape recorder, two overhead projectors, stereo phonograph, and a Thermofax copier. The copier is a great aid to the teaching of writing and to the students. Preparation for a new course was under way. The course is to be offered in 67-68. The Communications course will encompass reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It will be required for the Vocational-Technical Curriculum. -
