Courses Added To
Evening Curriculum
The Curriculum Committee of
AC, headed by Dr. Perry Case,
has announced the addition of sev*
era! new courses in connection
with the curriculum of the insi-
tution’s Evening College.
The new courses are “Develop
ment of Skills in Radio Speech and
Announcing.” ‘,The Church in Its
Community”, “English N o v e 1”,
and ‘‘The Community School”.
Dr. D. Ray Lindley has appoint-
ed Joel p. Lawhon of Wilson, pro
gram director of radio station
WVOT in Wilson, as instructor in
the radio course.
Dr. Case pointed out, “The
course was added because of the
shortage of personnel for an
nouncing in the radio stations of
North Carolina and the increasing
need for the individual making
radio speeches to have some back
ground in radio.”
Lawhon is vice-president of the
Wilson Radio Company, owners of
radio station WVOT. He came to
Wilson in 1048 to help organize the
station. Before that time he was
head of the continuity Department
of radio station WPTF in Raleigh.
He attended Furman University
where he graduated in 1942 with
the A. B. degree in English and
speech.
The other three courses, “The
Church in Its Community,” “Eng-
Ugh Novel,” and “The Community
School,” will be offered on Satur
day in order that they may be tak
en by persons now in full time
Christian service, teaching, or in
other professions in which interest
in the courses is high.
“The Community School” will
be taught by Mr. L. L. Murray,
head of the Department of Educa
tion at ACC.
TTie course, “The Church in Its
Community.” will *be similar to
the school course in that it will
have its “approach to the church
iwt merely as a religious insitu-
tion but in its broader community
setting,” Dr. Laurence C. Smith,
acting head of the Department of
Religion and Philosophy at ACC,
explained.
The course in “English Novel”
»ill deal with the major novelists
of the eighteenth and nineteenth
'-t'ntury and will be taught by
Mrs. Virginia House of the De
partment of English at AC.
