1 5 5-gg, AUDIO-V SUA C. K. Sharpe J. I. Weiss IN AN age where audio and visual com- munications is becoming an increasingly effective method for the dissemination of knowledge and information, it is essential that educational institutions take full ad- vantage of the resources available. Additionally, the use of audio and visual aids can be incorporated into any subject matter being taught, bringing greater clarity and deeper understanding and en- hancing classroom instruction. Occupying facilities in the new library's lower level, the Phoenix College Audio- Visual Aids Department is well equipped with a variety of aids, ranging from mo- tion pictures, film strips, tape recordings, slides, teaching machines and graphic ma- terials. A highly trained staii is always ready to assist instructors in their efforts to make life more meaningful to Phoenix College students. - Charles K. Sharpe t -' 45 . f

Ransom RT PHOTOGR PHY ART HAS traditionally afforded man the opportunity for experi- encing expression as a culture and as a creative pleasure. The growth of art, from the first crude images of carved animals or cave paintings, through the development of various schools and movements up to the current 'cpop artw craze, has represented manis striving for self-expression and communication. The history of art illustrates how it expands and enriches itself with the appearance of new civilizations and ideas or becomes aca- demic and withers when the artist does not respond to the excite- ment of change but merely imitates the past. Photography on the other hand, offers a new and stimulating ap- proach for those who Hnd that this medium allows them more free- dom of expression than does the paintbrush. Wliethei' pursuing art with a camera or a canvas, the rich heri- tage and magnificence of our Southwest provides the student a vast visual and spiritual panorama from which he can draw inspiration. The Department of Art and Photography offers students a var- iety of courses whether they are taking art as a humanities elective or pursuing a career as professional artists, designers, photogra- phers, commercial artists, interior decorators or art teachers. A two- year terminal degree and transfer program is available. In addition, the Art Club has made extra curricular activities a prominent feature of the total department program by their participation in the Annual Art Festival and other art related activites. - Emanuel A.

Q5 1... D. E. Born P. F. Tepe 3' L. H.J ones M. J. Fourier IN OUR ever-changing world, one field which stands out in variety, interest and importance, is the fascinating world of biology. This field might be called the Held of progress, for biological science is constantly changing and the Phoenix College Biology Department is continually updating the courses to reflect those changes. An attempt is made to achieve a Well-balanced treatment of the various aspects of the biological world, which includes the study of microorganisms, paleontology and zoology. The Department does not strive to cover the sub- ject in an exhaustive way, but to furnish a foundation upon which more advanced studies may be based. For the student, General Biology serves as an introduction to the many scientific principles exhibited by both plant and animal life. With all this in mind, it is quite obvious that the Biology Department is one of the key departments in any college. 241 A. S.
