World History, U.S. History, American Government, Psychology-all deal with man's attempt to know himself and to solve some of the problems of human existence, par- ticularly as they relate to the laws, customs, and traditions of the United States of America. Journalism students, Willa Nehlsen and Jan Buckner work on organizing bulletin board, an essential part of main- taining the hard pressed journalists' publication schedule.
