I8 e Driftwood 75 Speech and Theatre The Speech and Theatre Department provides a major to train students to teach, attend graduate school, or on rare occasions, enter professional areas. Extra curricular programs are designed to pro- vide advocational skills in the theatre. As a part of the Liberal Arts Division, in ad- dition t0 entertainment, the department maintains responsibility for providing each college generation with a wide range of theatrical experiences from the classics to modern experimental theatre. Care and patience are two words that describe the dedicated art student. The Art Department has grown and expan ded in the past year, one of the new additions was Mr. Gerald Kruse, a new instructor on the staff. Interim courses gave students practical opportunities; many students became directly involved in their vocational areas of interest, some spent a month doing layouts and paste-ups in commercial art studios, others had studio work in interior design and animation, and still others did work with physically handi- capped and disturbed children. The staff deeply missed their former colleague Diederich Kort- lang, his death has left a great void. Two tapestries and numer- ous graphics have been donated to the college art collection as a rememberance of an outstanding artist, teacher, and individual.
