Dr. Margaret R, Sandels, Dean, School of Home Economics. Home Economics The School of Home Economics offers courses deol- ing with the problems of the home and the community as its contribution to general education. It provides specialized training for the professions growing out of former home activities and engages in investigation and research on the subjects falling within its area. Students interested in the sciences may major in nutrition, food technology, textiles or household ad- ministration. The students with artistic ability may find that a major in interior design or fashion design is more to their liking; while students interested in the social sciences may specialize in child development, family relations or combine a major in nutrition with courses fitting them for public health careers. The teacher of home economics, the home demonstration agent or the commercial home economist are other possibilities for a career in this area. All departments are housed in the spacious build- ing which was designed for the School of Home Eco- nomics and completed in 1956.

Putting principles into practice is a feature of the lab-clasi roorn orr nge- ment of the School of Journalism. In editorial, advertising, and television- radio classrooms, journalism students learn by doing. This practical instruc- tion is supplemented by work on stu- dent publications as well as summer internships in communications media. Great interest in photojournalism has developed with the establishment of a chapter of Kappa Alpha Mu, na- tional photographic fraternity, on the FSU campus. A course in illustrative photography has been added to serve students majoring in art and related fields. The Institute of Medio Research was established this year with Dr. Sidney Kobre as head; the program of investigative studies was broadened; classrooms and offices in the Journal- ism Annex and the advertising lecture rooms were air conditioned; and addi- tional radio and audio-visual facilities were acquired.

i Miss Vivian M. Duxbury, Dean, School of Nursing N u r s i n g The FSU School of Nursing is the only one in the state approved for Federal Traineeships and now has enrolled many students on both state and federal scholarships. The School offers two programs; both include the full general educa- tion requirements of the University, giving the pro- spective nurses a solid foundation on which to base their professional education. The Bachelor of Sci- ence in Nursing includes a basic program designed for people with little or no previous training in nursing, and gives them experience in working with hospital patients and with public health work. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education pre- pares those nurses who are already registered for leadership in public health, teaching, super- vision, administration, and other related areas. Although the first nurs- ing students were not ad- mitted until 1950, grad- uates already number over one hundred and are to be found in many for- eign countries, as well as in the United States.
