Admissions Counselor The public relations department serves the college by in- forming the public through church publications, newspaper articles, and radio and television announcements. It is also responsible for all official college publications such as the catalogue, inter-campus bulletins, and admissions mater- ials. The health service offers twenty-four hour medical care to the student body. During daily office hours a nurse is on duty at the health service, and at night and on weekends, a nurse is on call for the dormitories. The business office is naturally concerned with money. The men in this department spent most of their time thinking about budgets, loans, fees, tuition payments, etc. In brief, they do a good job of managing the college's purse strings. The placement bureau exists to aid Gustavus seniors and alumni in finding jobs in teaching, business, social work, and government jobs. It also assists in Ending summer cm- ployment. It is the ever increasing duty of the deans of students to at- tempt to exert some sort of beneficial influence over Gus- tavus students. They are kept busy every day with ap- pointments, counseling, and the handling of the many and varied problems that arise among students. BRUCE GRAY, BA.

F GERHARD T. ALEXIS, PH.D. Professor of English, Department Head The English and Area Studies Departments are located in Vickner Language Hall 5 every Gustavus student must pass through its doors before completing his college career. Un- der the new English curriculum, each freshman is required to take three courses-one in language and composition, and two in English literature. Other courses offered include surveys of great men in lit- erature such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer, novel courses, creative writing, and period poetry courses. English professors and majors have participated in the An- nual Minnesota Conference for English Majors. The topic of discussion for this year's meeting was Joseph Conrad. Gustavus was represented by several who presented papers and discussions before the conference. The area studies courses on American culture offer students the opportunity to look at America-past and present- from the point of view of its literature, history, philosophy, music, and art. Through both the English and Area Studies Departments, Gustavus seeks to provide its students with a true liberal arts education. Student-faculty discussions, such as this one on Victorian poetry, provide students with opportunity to assume a more active role in their English education. ,. 1
