87fLanguage Arts-Media Center I. 'oil ,919-K Media Center Opening Lauded Revision of the old standards and the organization of new projects were at the center of the action for the Language Arts department. One action aimed at helping students with enrollment choices was carried out by Language Arts coordinators all over the city, said Heights' Coordinator, Mr. Edward Thompson. These persons were in the process of rewriting the course descriptions to give students a clearer and broader idea of what was offered. Also on the agenda was the spring seminar at W.S.U., which brought to- gether nationally known authors to speak to interested students about writ- ing and to answer their questions. Finally, after a year of studies inter- rupted by the sounds of construction work, the new Media Center was opened. The official dedication was held on Open House night, with a rib- bon cutting ceremony in the Commons Area. With its 20,000 volumes, its studying compartments, typing rooms, music lis- tening rooms and fireplace, the center provided a place to study, meet friends or just relax after lunch.
