The courses in composition train the student in clear and logical think- ing as well as in accurate and effective writing. The courses in literature acquaint the student with the cultural and literary heritage of the past. New teachers in the English Department this year include: Joyce Smith, Roger Julkowski, Donald Coleman, James McDon- ald, James Reeds, Frank Paulsen, Sally Brown, and Arlene Jackson.
