Dr. William R. Thompson completes his third year as head of the division of language, literature and speech. New Literature Program Goes on Trial in the Fall One of the largest divisions on campus, the divi- sion of language, literature and speech, prepares stu- dents to communicate effectively through speaking and writing either in English or in any of five foreign languages. Announcement was made this year of a new intro- duction to literature course which will be employed on an experimental basis next fall. Students will be allowed to choose their own methods of achieving the goals of the course as there will be no regular class meetings. Study aids will be provided by the teaching staff with taped lectures, prepared essays, films, discussion groups and group tutorials available to the students. Newly developed in the language department is the masters degree program in Spanish. Heather, Jack R.: Assoc.

Forsyth Library Boasts Additional Study Space With the opening of the new Forsyth Library dur- ing the summer of 1967, students now have readily available an excellent study and reference center. The library has a more than 300,000-item capacity and is a depository for U.S. and Kansas documents. Over 300 individual study carrels are included in the total seating capacity which exceeds 1 ,000. Among the items on file in the microfilm lab at Forsyth are a complete run of the New York Times, history and news concerning the Fort, magazines and the Hays papers. Although FHS does not grant a degree in library science, several courses are offered and students can complete up to 20 hours in the division. Growth in class enrollments is seen as a result of increased in- terest in the need for librarians in all levels of school- ing and public facilities. Extensive remodeling is in store for the old library which provided limited classroom space during the 1967-68 school year. With the museum retaining its position on the first floor of the building, the re- modeling on the other two floors would open 1 2 class- rooms, 25 faculty offices and two secretarial stations. Marc Campbell, chairman of the division of library science, guided the library move. Along with its service of loaning books, pamphlets and docu- ments, Forsyth Library provides typing rooms, film and record loans and a photostatic copying service. Located behind the library is a parking lot for students and staff. 30
