Fine and Practical Arts Co-ordinates with The department of speech and theatre arts, under the leadership of Dr. Ray E. Hol- combe, enjoyed the opportunity of exploring some aspects of experimental theatre in addi- tion to regular theatre activities this year. The art department too has undergone some changes. Mr. Foersterling is presently acting as head of the department and will later rotate his position with Mr. Sidman. This department has been strengthened by the elimination of extremely specialized courses. Dr. RolofT, head of the women ' s department of health, physical education, and recreation is a newcomer to MacMurray this year. The Recreation Associa- tion plays an important role in the women ' s college while in the men ' s college the intra- mural games are emphasized. 28

Ahhough students speciaHzing in music have continued to receive excellent guid- ance in both applied music and music theory, the new emphasis is on music for the liberal arts student.
