Journalists Edit Papers, Yearbook Top, with all the inquisitiveness of an English honor student, Vivis Lemmons asks Miss Rosamond Biles, instructor of English, to explain verbal con- structions. Right, digging deeply into the stacks, Josephine Briseno is surrounded by volumes and volumes of books as she searches for term paper material. Below, one of the many library facilities available for research is the microfilm machine. Nancy Herring views pictures of past issues of periodicals for her English homework. In courses ranging from the first epic to contemporary poetry, Creative Writing, freshman Honors English, and Report Writing are enrolled 2,700 students in the Day Division alone. This development is further illustrated by the addition to the library of resource material, microfilm apparatus, record players, ancl an opaque projector. in the field of mass communications, two accredited and two terminal iournalism courses are offered. As laboratory projects students produce El Alamo yearbook, The Ranger and The Night Ranger papers. The latter is the only night school paper published by a iunior college. ,,H3E:Ei: il-I lil' .1-v-A-unzr,-:: 2g..1l

ngllsh Department Reveals Increase Talking shop with one's ENGLISH peda- gogue was comparatively easy in 1954 when all teachers were gathered in one office. Now, a student must tap on five different office doors to find his instructor. Phenomenal growth in SAC's largest depart- ment has necessitated this increase in office space, as much as it has influenced the growth of English sections from 25 in 1954 to 93 in 1963. The faculty has also developed from four full-time English instructors in 1954 to a total of 22 full-time and one part-time instructors in the Day Division and 23 additional Evening teachers. Top, Leon Campbell checks the script as Robert Biasioli and Peggy Huber prepare to present B Fausf play with puppets to a world literature class. Left, under the watchful eye of Shakespeare, Dorothy Kearl uses the reproduction of the Globe Theater to explain to Mary Everts and Ronald Fox how dramas were staged in the Elizabethan theater. Below, James Williams, Sandra Clark, and Barbara Balough wait patiently for Professor John lgo to autograph their copies of his new book God of Gardens.

By studying the formation, distribu- tion, and alteration of a rock, a geology student is able to discuss the earth in its primitive stage. Offering courses for the first time in 1954, the GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT is a testimony of pro- gressive strides taken each year. Within two years, enrollment has increased by 50 percent. The modern equipment recently added, such as improved microscopes and films, aids the students in their studies.

Inez Thompson, assistant comptroller, adiusts a slide to put the specimen in better light.
