English Department Operates Laboratory
The English department last spring opened a laboratory designed to help students improve their writing. This fall the department is continuing the laboratory under the same general plan, but with improved facilities.
New practice methods in remedial writing and a wide range of subjects for use in compositions, together with the perspective of last spring's experiences, should enable those in charge of the laboratory to give students who desire it valuable assistance in
Any student interested should go directly to Maynard Fox, Room 401. Fraser Hall, at 1:30-4:30 p.m.; or he may speak to any staff member of the department of English. Enrollment in the laboratory is open free of charge to any University student not enrolled in a rhetoric course during the current semester; and the student may continue his work therein as long as he keeps a fairly regular schedule of appointments with his laboratory instructor.
raising the quality of their writing to the standard of excellence which all university graduates should have at their command.
Students, Don't Wait
In particular, one tendency of some enrollees last spring should be avoided—the tendency to put off going to the laboratory until the week before some important examination. The student can improve his writing more, and he will, perforce, receive better and more sympathetic instruction if he works at the job steadily for several weeks or months instead of cramming for ten hours during a single week. No golden key to excellence in written exposition has yet been discovered.
The work of the laboratroy is designed especially to improve student writing in expository papers, such as examinations, term papers, short assignments, and business letters. In addition to the writing itself, it is often necessary at some time during the process of composition to consider matters concerning logical reasoning and clear thinking.
Students taking foreign languages may receive instruction in the theory of English grammar. Again, students interested in special writing problems which can be disposed of quickly, or anything connected with acceptable English usage, are welcome in the laboratory.

This year the ship is named to a shelf. When the Chi Omega's took the track trophy, they left a note which read, "Greetings, boys! We
