The lllhiz Kids g . Unknown to many students at Lee is the formidable reputation our business students have in competition. For the past several years, these whiz kids have won more awards than any other college or university in the statewide student competitions. In 1979, an accounting student placed fourth in national competition, and in 1979, a business student was awarded third place in the national competition. These awards speak highly of these students, but it also reflects the quality of education they received from Dr. Rowe and the other instructors in the Department of Business.

Tower of Babel Parlez-vous francais? Como esta usted? Sprechen sie Deutsch? Watch your dangling modifiers! These phrases are often heard in the Department of Languages. lt is an area of study that is both inter- esting and challenging. Perhaps part of the challenge stems from the fact that this de- partment has more instructors with doctoral degrees than any other at Lee. Under the direction of Dr. Robert Humbertson the department offers majors in English, French, and Spanish, and is adding a new communication major. The English curriculum is de- signed to prepare students for teaching English in secondary schools, for graduate work in En- glish, or for professional fields. The foreign language curriculum is de- signed to prepare students to be- come secondary-school teachers, to do graduate work in a foreign lan- guage, and to be equipped with language skills vital to mission work or cross-cultural vocations. In previous years, the English program was primarily concerned with literature. Recently it has ex- panded, adding such courses as non-fiction and creative writing, to give more emphasis on this impor- tant aspect of the discipline. It is also working more closely with the student publications, OMNIBUS and VINDAGUA. 3357 Y 5 fix' Q Above: Members of the Forensic Club participate periodically in debates and speech competition.
