AN UAGE During the past year sixteen individual listening booths, each equipped with earphones and a microphone, were installed in Room 33 of the Library. These are used by students in connection with their courses in modern languages. The master control is so devised that one record may be heard by sixteen students, or a different record may be played on each of the four turntables, with four students listening to each record. By connecting tape recorders to this system, recordings of foreign language programs are made available. Besides the listening room in L33, the Department has acquired other audio-visual equipment: a disc recorder, tape recorders, projectors, tachistoscopes, phonographs, foreign-language Elms, musical and lit- erary foreign-language recordings. There are many Kodachrome slides of Spain, Mexico, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the United States. These are integrated with the work done in the speaking approach classes. In addition they are used as cultural background material in all classes. The use of these devices and materials makes for a higher level of accomplishment in language study. row I: Chairman Bickley, Mr. Butt. row 2: Maior Fife ion military leavel, Dr. Kalpuschnikoff, Miss Taylor, Dr. Lurretu. iffi 'Q 'I A -.Mt f .,11.-..lEf,Ag Q .X ffgf'-71, if ig' i 7'7'5s-a' 3 nfl f.i1Q !' rf: if , , , THEM TIC 1. Offering a mathematics pro- gram which is geared for both the theoretical and practical, Dr. Johnson, chairman, has ' tried to link mathematics with , science and economics. To assist in this program, Dr. Barnes, Mr. Roberts and Dr. Culley are offering a new course entitled Mathematics of Finance. Another useful course which Dr. Johnson speculates over three-fourths of students eventually take is Statistics. Dr. Barnes and her husband have been writing a mathe- matics text for freshmen, and Dr. .lohnson is engaged in com- piling a text for non-science majors. Both efforts are being 1 directed toward introducing mathematics to the layman. Graduates of the Department have gone into positions rang- ing from gravity computation to sales work in scientific fields. 'l. Dean Culley 2. Dr. Johnson 3. Dr. Barnes 2. 5' t t 4 h.

PHY IC Featuring extensive laboratory facili- ties for majors in the Held of Physics, the Department, under the chairmanship of Dr. Vernon Bollman, has its own com- plete machine shop, and can, accord- ing to Dr. Bollman, build anything it desires. Rather than taking comprehensive examinations, Physics majors have been allowed to conduct research projects. The program gives the senior an oppor- by Dave Ehrenfeld, and a Study of a Count-Rate Meter by Jack Jansen. The students are not the only ones in- volved in research projects. Professor Kirkpatrick has been working recently on a project to evaporate metals in a vacuum. His goal is to produce thin coat- ings of metals for use in research with an X-Ray microscope. Dr. Bollman has pioneered in a new tunity to apply the knowledge he has gained in the field of Physics. Projects currently under investigation are a study of X-Ray Spectra with a two- crystal Spectrometer by George Johnson, a Photoelectric Determination of Light special course in laboratory Physics for Pre-Medical students. The third member of the Department is Mr. Morton Rob- erts, in charge of Astronomy and Morse Observatory. The Observatory houses a 15-inch reflecting telescope which is used hy Astronomy students. I.
