Foreign Language maiors make practical use of facilities in the new and well-equipped laboratory. Language records are played on the record players and repeated by the student. Special equipment offers the student an op- portunity to bear ber own pronunciation of the words, repeated after the record. Foreign Languages The Department of Foreign Languages has recently moved into the new air-conditioned Arts and Sciences build- ing with fully equipped laboratory, up-to-date classrooms and artefacts, and reading room. The latter is a pleasant place for students to read and study and has a large collection of books in various languages as well as costumes and items of interest from many lands. Courses are offered in French, German and Spanish with classes in English as a second language for foreign stu- dents. The oral-lingual approach is stressed. On the third floor of the Arts and Sciences Building is the language laboratory, with the latest electronic equipment and recording tapes of textual materials. These make the study of languages easier, more interesting and profitable. The Festival of Nations is an international celebration held under the direction of the Department of Foreign Languages each year and features students of foreign languages and foreign students. It is attended by hundreds of high school students from the area. Dr. Mabel Arbuthnot Miss Maurine Faulkner Dr. Elayne Larsen Dr. A. Wallace Woolsey Dr. Iosef E.

English The reading room of Sigma Tau Delta, honorary English organization, houses a student-painted mural depicting various characters from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and hooks of interest to both majors and non- maiors in the English department. Literature is probably the oldest of the arts, and writing one of the most widely useful skills in the world, for language underlies every human activity. The study of English embraces all the cultural disciplines: psychology, his- tory, philosophy, the sciences, and in turn is enriched by them. Anyone who wishes to transmit ideas to others must be able to express himself clearly and accurately. And anyone who wishes to enlarge his mental and spiritual horizons must share the recorded experiences of others. Careers that develop directly from a major in English include not only the basic areas of teaching and writing, but innumerable variants within these areas as well. It is not implied that a college student automatically qualifies for any or all of these opportunities by choosing English as a major. Graduate work and an apprenticeship are required in almost all fields today. But, if the student plans her college work with one of these possibilities in mind, she can so build electives around her English major as to make herself eligible for one of many rewarding careers.

Mamma, Dr. Paul Young, director of the History- Government Department, takes time out after class for explanation of Western state- hood and land grants to railroads to four members of his history class. Histor and Government The Department of History and Government is trying to meet its responsibilities to its students and state by interpreting history and stressing the obligations of citizens. Such professional organizations as the American His- torical Association, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the Mississippi Valley Historical As- sociation, Southern Historical Association, Southwestern Social Science Association and others are all represented in the department. Several of the faculty are engaged in research and writing. For the students, in addition to courses, the department sponsors three organizations: the History Club, the Citi- zenship League and the national honorary fraternity, Phi Alpha Theta, which olier opportunities in leadership and scholarship. The Citizenship League offers an annual award of S100 for the best essay on some aspect of citizen- ship. Upon graduation, majors have opportunities to enter teaching, business, or government service. Equally important is their opportunity to be more useful and intelligent citizens. - .
