DEAN LULU HASSENPLUG demands assumption of responsibility. Technical skill is not the only requirement required in the nursing practice; the patient himself must somehow be instilled with desire for recovery. Dean Hassenplug emphasizes the development of this essential, while also providing the nursing student with the necessary medical knowledge. Each student is assigned to the care of a qualified faculty member who serves his charges as an educational advisor. Controversial issues are freely dis- cussed v ith the hope of developing the individuality required of a nurse. Entering the school after a minimum of two years preparation, the student trains for a five semester period, after which a Bachelor of Science degree and a certificate of qualification are awarded.

Upper division and graduate students receive education in all problems of health and welfare within present-day societies; the purpose of the program is to provide the student with thorough understanding of the principles of public health. Significant research in the area of preventive medicine being pursued, the student obtains a working knowledge of research methods. Although still small in size, the school has attracted international students. SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH Attracting students by means of its excellent facilities, the School of Public Health offers laboratories for the study of both microbiology and nutrition where relevant or applicable for successful regulation of man ' s environment. 276

Newly appointed Dean of Social Welfare is RICHARD T. MORRIS. Interesting, challenging, and rewarding as a field of service, Social Welfare bemoans a chronic shortage of qualified personnel. An estimated 10,000 vacancies presently inhibiting work, and a projected 10-year shortage make the task of UCLA ' s own School of So- cial Welfare a difficult one. Administrators such as Dean Richard Morris have called for equal emphasis on both long range and short term plans in order to offset the situation. The school now offers a two year graduate study leading to a Master of Social Welfare degree fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Primary basis for future plans rests with the university as a whole, for the school does not regard quality reduction as a remedy for quantity. SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WELFARE
