LANGUAGE e S~anish Club, French Club, Sigma Tau Delta • Communication in a common language has often been taken for granted. Three organizations, the Spanish club, the French club and Sigma Tau Delta, gave students the chance to strengthen their communication skills. Although three-fourths of the Spanish club members were from Spanish speaking countries, anyone who was interested in the language was welcomed to join. The fall began with a dinner where members brought a dish from their native country. CLASS. Susanna Jenkins, sophomore, Shannon Logoan, freshman, and Brian Kite, freshman, listen intently.

Not all the activities were for the members; they served as an outreach for Spanish speaking people in the community. Last spring they invited the Latin Americans from the Morris School to a Spanish movie. Anyone interested in French was welcome to join the French club. Although most members were in a French class, it was not a requirement. Diverse activities included watching a French play, having a French Chorale, devotionals , and watching movies like "The Three Stooges" and "Karate Kid II" in French. ESPANOL.

For the English majors, Sigma Tau Delta inducted eight students into their honor society during October. Those with a major or minor in English and a 3.00 cumulative GPA were invited to join the Honor Society. Members participated in creative writing programs and contributed to the Literary magazine, "Shapes and Names." The society attends one poetry or drama presentation and plans a trip to Oxford, Mississippi to visit Williams Faulkner's home. French, Spanish, and English - whatever the language, students learn to communicate. -Gayla Hall MAC LAB. The Graphics Lab was a busy place for many students.
