MACCURDY A.B., Albion Collegeg A.B.L.S., A.M.L.S., University of Michigan SPEECH Public Speaking is based upon the use of worthwhile goods and effective delivery of those goods. Radio and Interpretation are areas emphasizing the communicating of the written page. Debate and Discussion are areas in which the com- municating ot the subiect logically is emphasized. There are also other areas in which the advanced student can try his wings. These are Oratory, Intercollegiate Debate and Extempore Speaking. Speech has been defined as a lively sense of communi- cation. We in the Speech Department are interested in this important aspect of life and try to gage all of our classes to the improvement of communication. , f Q04 4 ANNIE B.

PSYCHOLOGY 1 lf the proper study of mankind is man, certainly one of the most intriguing aspects of this study is man's behavior. Psycholo- gists are concerned with the behavior of all organisms, but the principle focus of their interest is the behavior of man. Within this framework the psychology department at Alma has two related concerns: teaching and research. Our primary interest is teaching. We would like every student electing to maior in the department to know a basic core of facts about behavior: and, we want him to know the specific research techniques used by behavioral scientists in acquiring this in- formation. Our secondary interest is our own research. We hope our own enthusiasm for research rubs off on our students. As they are involved with us as research assistants and occasionally as co-authors of research papers, we are fairly sure it does.

HAYNES, M.D Visiting Professor of Psychology B.S., Adrian College M.D., Wayne State University social life about us? There are so many groups in our society. What goes on in those groups? How does group life affect us as individuals? There are the social institutions which exist in every community to give stability. Special emphasis goes to the family as a basic institution. Social problems are everywhere about us. Crime, problems arising from the exploding populations, inter- group conflicts-only to name a few. Why do we have them? What can be done regarding them? With increasing contacts with peoples from many parts of the world, we are becoming more aware of both cultural differences and likenesses. What is culture? How do we get it? How does it influence us? Understanding the culture concept should enable us to live more effectively in the world today. To the educated man, sociology offers a way of looking at social life. A sociological point of view gives one many con- cepts which help one to see the features common in a series of observations of human groups and helps one to see relation- ships between observations.
