LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT includes Samuel Pascal, Henry Funk, Rudolph Schwartz, Antonim Hruby, Edward Brown, Clark Danielson, Harold Streeter, Michael Ruggerio, and A. P. Zabuosnic. FOREIGN LANGUAGES: THE KEYS TO OTHER CULTURES DR. HENRY FUNK is instructing a number of budding linguists in French. For the first time in its history, the language department's oHices and laboratory are cen- trally located on the third and fourth floors of remodeled Pardee. The department has a rather unique organization with the French, Spanish, and German departments being co- ordinated to form the language department under the supervision of Dr. Brown. The de- partment also offers courses in classical Greek, Latin, Italian, and Russian. Unusual in- terest has been shown these past two years in the relatively new Russian course taught by Dr. Brown. The facilities of the language laboratory in- clude tape recorders, phonographs and listen- ing booths. With major emphasis being placed on the oral method of teaching languages, such equipment permits each student to im- prove his pronunciation and rate of compre- hension. r The departmental Spanish Club is designed to further interest in South American culture.
