In English courses, students learn the meaning and impor- tance of proper communication. The ways that man exchanges his ideas by writing, reading, listening, and speaking, are thoroughly covered by the Eng- lish departments curriculum. Each of the four areas have to be developed in a student, so that he will be able to succeed in a world dependent on the ex- change ofideas. DON WATSON, English, B.S., Ball State University.

The English courses ojer a basis for communication between students and teachers, between students and parents, and between the students themselves. Grammar and vocabulary are studied to form a strong foundation to work from in the study of literature. Literature adds to the vocabulary of the reader and also gives the student an under- standing ofthe abilities ofthe author to communicate his thoughts. Themes, essays and book reports are assigned by the teacher to give the student a chance to practice communicating his ideas formally, and much enjoyment can be had in reading or writing. Besides being able to earn recognition for publishing material, much pride can be had by an author with a creation of his own, be it prose, poetry, an essay, or a novel.

The library has as its basic objectives: education, information, ap- preciation of literature, research and recreation. With a little guidance, students can fnd the information they need from a vast amount of books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, maps and pictures. As in all other libraries, the use of books in our library is free of charge. However, there are certain rules to be followed con- cerning the length of time certain books and magazines can be kept out. Books which are on reserve can only be checked out overnight. The majority, however, may be checked out for two weeks. The students may renew these books if they need the books for a longer period of time. Besides being a place of study and enjoyment, the library serves as a storage place for all textbooks used in the class- room. Its competent staj is responsible for the storage and care of the audio-visual equipment. Under their guidance, this equipment is distributed to the teachers. I9 library
