Electives Open Doors A variety of electives broadened the basic English program. A new elective, the Reading Lab, was designed to meet the special reading needs of individual students. The depart- ment hoped to introduce a special devel- opmental reading program in the future. Writing electives included Journalism and Creative Writing. Journalism students Practiced basic writing techniques, edit- ing and layour design. Creative writing involved writing stories, poems, scripts and reading material for ‘‘Browse.”’ Electives centering around students’ speaking abilities consisted of Basic Speech, Speech Dynamics and Debate. These students gained valuable knowl- edge in speaking, communications and persuasive processes. Drama, Play Production and T.V. Produc- tion investigated the communications fields.
