Montco Welcomes
Hew Director
Montco welcomes Mr. Phill
Deery as the new Director of
Student Activities. Mr. Deery
earned his Masters Degree in
Guidance and Council and spent
the last foui* years in guidance
in resident halls. Mr. Deery
was also Director of Admissions at Detroit College.
Mr. Deery can give the Activities Council the guidance and
direction the job requires. He
possesses the personality, ambition, concern and innovation
to revitalize the activities at
the college. But, one important ingredient will be missing,
and student involvement can
quickly remedy this problem.
Our new director feels that
there is a lack of communication between the students and
the student government. Mr.
Deery hopes to close this gap
by making the activities known
to all the students and by offering a wider gamut of activities which would make involvement more attractive. Mr.
Deery has commented that the
new campus affords more facilities which greatly increase^
the potential for more partic
ipation.
He stated that school activities play a vital role in our
educational system today.
Participation in activities enables the individual to experience leadership, which is an
essential asset in any field.
Businesses are looking for
leadership in the college student, he added.
Mr. Deery has proposed the
following changes:
1. A Student Activities Handbook listing ali the clubs and
activities available to the student body.
2. A   monthly calendar in-

located  in   King  of   Prussia.
The evening featured a dinner, followed by dancing and

English Department here at
Montco. After dinner and dancing, Dr. Longstreth presented
last year's Miss Montco, Karen
Lemieux, who assisted with the
drawing of several door prizes.
After more dancing, Dr.

Montco Adds
New Courses
The fall 1972 semester at
Montco brings with it such new
degree programs as Mental
Health, Art, Applied Art and
Art Education.
The Associate in Applied Science degree in Mental Health
is a two-year career program
specifically designed to train
"mid-professionals." Upon
completion of 68 hours of credit
involving liberal art courses
stressing behavior, specialized subjects and field experience, the graduate will be qualified for positions in day-care
centers, mental retardation
and working with the elderly
as well as assistants to psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, therapists and social workers in community mental health
or related agencies. The program is focused on working
with the healthy part of the
person without too much emphasis on the pathological.
Students will be trained as
generalists to work with the
whole person in relation to
the family or community —
a very broad human "services
program.
Also geared toward the training of the mid-professional will
be the Applied Arts curriculum which, when completed,
will enable students to have
portfolios; and find career
positions in fashion illustration, interior design, layout
and related fields. Courses
offered will be Art History I
and H, Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Drawing
and Painting, Design, Print-
making, Sculpture and Ceramics. The Associate in Art
program prepares the student
for transfer to a four-year
art school and the B.F.A. degree. Art Education offers
appropriate courses for students planning to transfer to
a college offering a bachelor's degree in Art Education.
Both the mental health and
applied arts programs are in
the experimental stage pend-
