And the liberal arts, in turn, are at the heart of the kind of total educational experience that is PLU's "reason for being," accord­ ing to Dr. Kenneth Christopherson, chairman of the Division. The humanities at PLU include departments of religion, philosophy, English and modern and classical languages. Though separated administra­ tively, history and fine arts are often considered to be closely related to the humanities, Chris­ topherson pointed out. "All know­ ledge is like a seamless robe," he observed. The humanities have been buf­ feted about in recent years by two popular trends. The first, near its zenith a decade ago, was the wide-

Other offer- ings are on the drawing board. One of the department's two minors has an emphasis on writing. Composition class sizes have been reduced to 20 from a high of 29, and the eventual goal is 15, to offer even more personal attention to students. The English proficiency exam has been scrapped. For years, successful completion of the exam met the university English re­ quirement and allowed students to completely by-pass a composition course. "Grading the tests had become increasingly futile," Van Tassel said. "So few students could pass that it seemed more practical to devote our time and effort to teaching." (Students may still take a test to move directly into an advanced composition course, but some com­ position is required.) PLU's two newest English facul­ ty members were selected to a. great extent because of their train­ ing in English composition. And all professors teaching com­ position sections are involved in a faculty colloqium where teaching techniques, subject matter and course emphasis are discussed and refined. Why so much writing emphasis at the college level? "Obviously, college is not the place where learning begins," Van Tassel responded.
