literature and language Lebelva Connelly Jack Farris Eleanor Lane This department offers courses including speech, journalism, literature, languages and grammar. English is required of everyone, so throughout the freshman year themes, term reports, the famous works of literature, poetry and the Purdue Tests rack the brain to finally become useful knowledge. Speech courses de- velop confidence and self-expression. The Herald, edited by the journalism classes, and the Arrow, composed of student literature and poetry are the two publications of the depart- ment. The language division is headed by Dr. Daniel Pasmore who sponsors Le Cercle Fran- cais and Der Deutsche Verein. Each year these clubs gi ve a Christmas party which has become a tradition on the campus. Th? debate team schedules debates with colleges throughout the South under the direction of Dr. Frank Plunkett. Through these sources a valuable education can be gained for professional ca- reers in law, journalism, teaching, govern- ment and other fields. 22

social science Geography, history, political science, sociology and home economics are the major fields under the Social Science Department. Classroom work is broadened by field trips taken by students in the various courses. Political Science classes visited the local court ses- sions, and trips to Memphis and Little Rock were made by groups on frequent occasions. Each year a summer tour is conducted offering hours in Geography. The class toured the Southeastern United States and Cuba last summer, and a cruise to Europe and the British Isles is planned for this year. Host to the Conference of the Southwest Region of College International Relations Clubs last year, the department entertained students and faculty advisors from several colleges and universities in the South- western states. Dr. C. T. Miao. Chinese member of the United Nations, addressed the group. Preparation for such vocations as social work, the ministry, various governmental work, teaching and home economic fields is complete with courses de- signed to prepare the student for citizenship in the modern world. During the national election, the Pre- Law Club held a Mock Election where strong divi- sion of opinions was in evidence. Governmental pro- cedures and developments are taught in an interest- ing, comprehensive manner to enab le the student to better understand his country and to develop respon- sibility as an individual.
