'CI7G PeNt)UlUM Serving the Elon College community blume XIV, No. 27 Thursday, May 5, 1988 Elon College, NC Changes to take place in JMC curriculum by Amy Andrews Staff Writer Journalism and Mass Com- lunications students returning in tfail will find several changes in leir degree programs, including a line change for the program, ac- Ifding to Don Grady, Coordinator ilhe JMC program. ilhe name of the program will be langed to Journalism/Com- wnications due to restructuring ithin the program. This change K approved at the last faculty eeting, Grady said. “The jour- ilism degree program has been langed to reflect a need for both nni and broadcast journalism,” rady said. He also said that in the past, the (imalism major primarily focus- i on print media and the mass (mmunications major primarily jcused on broadcasting. iTwo areas of emphasis will be icluded under the communica- ons degree. The first will be toadcast Communications, which ill deal with the production and trformance aspects of mass ledia, Grady said. The second (ill be a new area of study called jorporate Communication, which tedeal with internal and exter- al business communication. ICrady said that under the Cor- wte Communications emphasis, adents will gain knowledge in iblie relations, advertising, and »porate print and electronic com- unications. “The one thing that liink is unique about our program ihat we have strong links to ^iness Administration,” Grady He also stated that there are two new courses for the Corporate Communications major. One which will be offered in the fall is public relations. Grady said that the other course, corporate com munications, will most likely be of fered in the spring of 1989, In addition, two courses in economics, two accounting courses, and 300-level business ad ministration courses will be re quired. Grady said the department believes very strongly that a student who applies for a corporate com munications position in a company must first understand what business is about before he or she will be able to communicate effectively in that role. “I really do believe that (the new department^ will get many students who are not necessarily interested in working in radio or television, or for that matter, working at a newspaper or magazine,” Grady said. “There are many job oppor tunities in the corporate world now that relate to the internal and ex ternal communication of the com pany,” he added. Grady said the term “corporate communications” was chosen because it is a broader term than public relations or advertising. Two additional faculty members have been hired for the fall. One person will take the position of Mark ^st who is taking a position at UNC-Asheville. The other person who has been hired is Gerald Gibson, who has worked at Elon before.

Photo by Kati Mafko Campus shop to double in size by Cheryl Kern Staff Writer After graduation this year a con struction company will be coming to Elon to start knocking down the walls of the infirmary and the com muter lounge to make room for the expansion of the Campus Shop, which will almost double in size. The Campus Shop is the college bookstore located in Long Student Center. It provides the students with textbooks, pleasure reading, study aids, and other miscellaneous articles such as notebooks, typing paper, T-shirts, study lamps, and other gift items. The plans for the expansion, ac cording to Lisa Hall, are to take out the dividing walls between the in firmary and the campus shop. Also, the supply cabinets in the in firmary will be left intact along with the back examining room, which will be used for office space. After remodeling, three-fourths of the old section will be used for text books and the other one-fourth for magazines and trade books. The new part of the structure will house the sweatshirts, fwsters, greeting cards and other miscellaneous items. The college has acquired the Rich House, east of the power plant, to house the new infirmary for the students. The Commuter lounge will be relocated also. The cost of this project is unknown Lisa Hall, but she stated that Elon and the Campus Shop did not want to do too much expanding since the school is plan ning on building a new student building three to five years from now. The project should be complete by the start of the next school year. Also, the proposed building plans are making it possible that for the Campus Shop to stay opened for both the summer sessions.
