Gourmet Foods Offered By Home Economics Dept. Courses available to students last year through the Home Economics De- partment included gourmet foods, nursery teacher aide and hospital ancillary training service. Gourmet foods proved the department ' s most popular course of last year. Offered to both sexes, the class was student-directed and participants were able to cook foods of any type. Twice each month an instructor demonstrated cooking techniques for some of the basic soul foods: beans and chitterlings, pork and others. In nursery teacher aide, the students traveled to nurseries in the Berkeley School District, while hospital ancillary training service participants were taught various medical courses at either Alta Bates or another local hospital. Because of a great demand for nurses, social workers and health related professionals, Department Chairman, Mrs. Gertrude Tenny urges more students to take part in the home economics program. MRS.

MISS JOYCE ANDERSON Swahili Scheduled For Spring Semester MR. DONALD SCHRUMP MR. JORGE CHAVEZ Curriculum for the Foreign Language Department changed drastically this year. Most radical of these innovations was the scheduling of an East African language, Swahili, into the spring semester. Another important revision was the use of new texts from Encyclopedia Britannica in all Spanish and German classes. This series of books was also extended to the Berkeley secondary schools, providing unification and better opportunities for individual advance- ment. Approximately one-half the student body is involved in the department making it one of the largest in the school. Mr. Trentacoste, department chair- man, attributed most of the success of the department to its well qualified faculty members and the respect Berkeleyans have for foreign languages. MR.
