READI GI TO IT The Reading Department has a lot more to offer than just courses in reading. Sure, they have courses at a remedial level, but it doesn't stop there. How about Speed Reading? Did you ever think you'd never fin- ish that book for English or that chapter for history? Well, then here is the class for you.

Now you may begin to understand that the list of courses offered by the Reading Department goes on and on. As you may see, the Reading Department is not just for reading anymore.
