70,000.000 people speah English today OVER 270,000,000 people speak Eng- lisli today, making it next to Chinese the world ' s most popular language. And with the world ' s population increasing each day, there is a rising tide in the spread of English. The department ' s teachers are keep- ing astride of the changes and vacilla- tions in the English language. New tech- niques and methods are being introduced to give students the ability to communi- cate properly both in oral and written composition. 1964-65 has reached its goal in two ways. Department heads have established a new approach in the study of language usage and have developed a more com- prehensive approach in supplemental reading. Besides working with students as one group, several divisions have been made to meet the individual needs. With- in each of the four level classes, there are the C, normal and A levels — providing the student with a rate of study he is best capable of comprehending. Teachers in the department find it helpful to go to institutes and workshops for additional study. Last summer four teachers travelled to Europe and eight participated in graduate study. Arthur Ricks is on a Telluride scholarship to Iran and Jack Galvin is acting depart- ment head in place of Thomas Donohue who is on a year ' s leave of absence. Looking disgustedly at four years accumulation of books, totaling approximately $80, senior Gunnard Jacobsen hopes the bookstore will give him his 2if worth for all 24. LEO C.
