imparting the art of communicating... Learning another man's language is a basis for unity and understanding: teaching the other man's language is the major concern of Notre Dame's language depart- ment. Ability to communicate acceptably in a foreign tongue is earned only by answering a plethora of de- mands. Linguistically based texts are supplemented by conversational situations and cultural appreciation. Two newly-added listening centers, luncheon hours together for foreign language participants, re-enacted panoplies of Roman banquets, native speakers, Latin newspapers -dall these help meet the challenge of language learning to ay.

In the junk of the world who will bring merriment to the tired old human heart? queries William Saroyan. English class is an opportunity for questioning young hearts -to find the enjoyable in life and pass it on to others. The need to communicate, to make oneself clearly understood, is basic to a successful life. Exploring the works of think- ing men results in a more distinct picture of life.

Thus would he enter more deeply into the knowledge of person and learn to tke his place as a witness among God's people. ln class, as in life, the student grapples with the problems of contemporary man, so that he might enter more fully into the Christian life of the Secular City. To see the relationship of the past to the present in order to project a greater future is the aim of the social studies department. History students work at develop- ing a crucial sense of keen judgment and the apt reason- ing of well-founded opinions. This year sees the ad- dition of two political science courses which delve into the basis of American politics as well as the sociological aspects of American life.
