HUMANITIES provides enliijhtenmeiit, creativity Expansion and innovation were the characteristics found this year in each department of the I lumanities Division of BJC. New classes and improved facilities met and filled the needs of a growing institution. A student did not have to search for creativity or enlightment; it abounded around him all over the campus in many forms. In the English Dc ' partment could lx? found future ora tors as well as students tiding to overcome their fear of standing in front of an audience. The ever-abundant freshmen could also Ix found o erflowing the rhetoric class capacity at first, but this problem was quickly al¬ leviated.

The all-male stage Kmd, along with its own chorus, made a tour this year.

The library had moved to larger facilities and of¬ fered more study area with more lxx)ks in more shelves. Cetting lost in another wwld w as easy here, and also easy in the Language Department, where the use of slides and foreign magazines took the student into the country whose language he was learning. Thus, Humanities offered an opportunity for expres¬ sion, calling upon the student to display his creativity.
