Page 4/The Battalion/Thursday, July 28, 1983 Program helps all majors Effective writing stressed by Gwendolyn Hattaway Battalion Reporter Students who want to develop their communication skills can enroll in a writing specialization program through the English department. “It’s something like a minor in writing,” Dr. David H. Ste wart, head of the English de partment, said. The program consists of six classes designed to help students of any major write and speak effectively. The program is not a part of any degree plan, but a certificate is awarded for the ex tra 18 hours. The student must make at least a B in every class, Stewart said. The certificate looks good to prospective employers, he said. “You never know in what way it will help a student,” he said. “Most students mention it right along with their diploma on their transcript because it sounds better when asking for a job.” The six courses are specified by the English department and include four core courses and two satellite courses, totaling 18 hours. The four core courses Presents Tues: FARM RAISED FRIED CATFISH ALL YOU CAN EAT :95 Wed. & Thurs.: CHICKEN FRIED STEAK 95 11-2 M-F 5-10 11-10 SS Townshire Center 2025 Texas Ave. 775-7642 LUNCHEON SPECIALS DAILY •English 210: Argumenta tion and Composition — seeing the logic in what you read and using logic in what you write. •English 220: Technical Edit ing and Writing — editing the raw materials of business and in dustry reports into final form for publication. •English 301: Technical Writing — writing business let ters, technical proposals and business and industrial reports. •Speech Communication 404: Technical Speaking and Speech Writing — writing, de veloping and delivering technic al material through speeches. The two satellite courses are related to the student’s major but are not required to be courses from the English de partment. However, Stewart said, the courses must be approved through the depart ment. A significant portion of the satellite course grade must be based on writing, he said.

Area woman starts modeling agency by Jill Slayman Battalion Reporter “Start a modeling agency here,” a friend jokingly sug gested. But instead of laughing, Joni Hennigan got to work and created the J. CHAN Model Connection. J. GHAN Model Connection is now available in College Sta tion for men and women with prior modeling experience as well as persons with no experi ence who would like to try it. While Hennigan can’t guarantee jobs for the models through J. GHAN, she does pro vide the models to merchants for fashion shows and advertise ments. That’s why she calls the business a connection rather than an agency. The merchants cover the charges of the shows, advertisements and the models. Basically, J. GHAN is a hobby for Hennigan since her fees only cover her costs. Hennigan has provided mod els for fashion shows sponsored by Dillard’s, Department Store and Windsport International. She will be providing models and pictures for a new hot-tub business and is discussing plans for a photo lay-out with Dil lard’s. Hennigan says that five businesses are waiting for her to find models for fashion shows of their own. With the connection, Henni gan says, she wants to give peo ple the opportunity to become models. Hennigan says models are too stereotyped and that it isn’t necessary to be tall and thin. “Everybody has something to offer,” she says. “I want to give the others a chance.” J. GHAN models will be fea tured in areas such as hair, eye, hand, and fashion, Hennigan says. In this way, someone who is overweight, but has pretty hair or eyes, can be used. staff photo byli Julie Mather, a sophomore business analysis major from McAllen, takes a break Monday at a Memorial Stm Center window.
