Departmental reorganization combines English, Communications A new development in the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communi- cations was the inclusion of radio-tele- vision courses in the area of communi- cations.

Biblical Studies major prepares students for seminary Since the founding of Evangel College in 1955, many changes have taken place in the area of Biblical Studies. In the past year the faculty has overhauled the curriculum and placed a more significant role on the Bible major. The Bible major is designed to provide the student with a sufficient background for pre-seminary training. To correspond with the change in the role of the Bible in a liberal arts college, the name of the department has been changed from Re- ligion to Biblical Studies. Teaching the Biblical Studies courses were Dr. William Menzies, associate pro- fessor of Biblical studies and philosophy; Mr. Donald Baldwin Assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy Mr. William Hanawalt Assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy Dr. William Menzies Associate professor of Biblical studies and philosophy Mr. Anthony Palma Assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy Dr. George Wood Assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy Dr. George Wood, assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy; Dr. Ro- bert Cooley, dean of the college; Donald Baldwin, assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy; William Hana- walt, assistant professor of Biblical stu- dies and philosophy; and Anthony Pal- ma, assistant professor of Biblical studies and philosophy. The number of students registered under the Bible major program doubled during the year.
