ivision oi ppiied Pis and Sciences Scarcely a year old, the Division of Applied Arts and Sciences is a lusty in- fant. It leads companion Divisions with a total enrollment of some six hundred. Last year's administrative reorganization W created this Division by combining the Schools of Science and Literature, Educa- tion, and Pharmacy. Dean of the giant is A. E. Minard. A. D. Weeks is Asso- ciate Dean in charge of the School of Edu- cation. W. F. Sudro Associate Dean in charge of the School of Pharmacy. Split up, the six hundred total yields a registration of approximately four hun- dred in Science and Literature, one hun- dred twenty in Education, eighty in Phar- macy. The heterogeneous Science and Literature Department shows the greatest gain over last year-about thirty-five. Bigger enrollment means bigger faculty. Vant Kebker was added to the Social and Economic Science staff to help handle the especially heavy enrollment in Commerce. Walter Wright joined the English Department. Sylvia Panimon became a full time instructor in Modern Languages. Glen Walrath held a part time instructorship in Mathematics. William Kluender was made a graduate assistant in Botany. Replacements included Charles Wells for Archie Higdon, Mathematics teacher, and Dr. Donald Tope for Glenn Lawritson, Education instructor. New this year was a course in Social Service. Doing actual case work, class members studied relief in the raw, under Miss Pearl Sa1sberry's direction. F.E.R.A. funds paid about sixty students in the winter term for doing odd jobs in the Division. Some did secretarial work or corrected papers. Others performed car- pentry jobs like installing weather strip. Still others aided in research conducted by faculty members. Dean Minard Science Hall ,ggi-15:6 BISON KQ11., .-18-.

ivision 0 nqineevinq Recent administrative reorganization has combined the Schools of Chemistry and Engineering to form the Division of Engineering, with R. M. Dolve as Dean. Associate Dean L. L. Carrick administers the School of Chemistry. In the Engi- neering section of the Division, enrollment this year has ranged around three hun- dred sixty, topping last year's mark by about twelve. Freshman registration in Civil Engi- neering was about one hundred per cent heavier this year than it usually has been. Dean Dolve thinks that increased federal employment of civil engineers may have contributed to the popularity e of this course. Dean Dolve As F.E.R.A. workers, some fifty students ffall term figurej in the Division undertook major departmental improvement projects. They built equipment for electrical, me- chanical, and hydraulic laboratories. They constructed a large sectional map of the campus, showing all its surface and underground details. They redecorated classrooms and laboratories. An old tractor shed they converted into an engineering materials laboratory, and an old cement laboratory into a classroom. Several personnel changes were made. Albert Anderson, a 1931 N.D.A.C. gradu- ate, was employed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of J. R. Van Dyke, Me- chanical Engineering instructor. To meet the demands of the expanded enrollment, a new teacher, A. M. Fitch, was added to the Civil Engineering faculty. The Division inaugurated a new course this year, a four year curriculum in Administrative Engineering. Engineering ,ggi 1936 BISON Egg., -19-
