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.

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

I ESS TODAY'S CITIZEN lives in a business-oriented society. Through the ser- vices and activities of business, our capitalistic economic system has made the United States the most prosperous nation on earth. Some evidence of student interest in and awareness of the importance of business can be seen in the fact that 20 per cent of the Phoenix College student body are business majors with many additional students taking one or more business courses. Approximately 60 per cent of the business majors hope to transfer to other colleges for their third and fourth year and plan to qualify for a Business Administration degree. The remaining 410 per cent study in the fields of Middle Management, Data Processing, Secretarial, Medical Re- ceptionist, Clerical or General Business with one or two years of training as their goal. Although crowded for space, students work with such modern equip- ment as a multi-channel electronic shorthand transcription laboratory where students with different abilities can take dictation at four different speeds at the same time and a business machines room with modern calculators. In there is an office machines room where students learn to operate key-punch, multilith, mimeograph, and spirit duplicator. Also, there is IBM Data Processing Center. In the machine transcription room, students to transcribe medical, legal and technical letters and reports previously on disks, tapes and belts. 'alt is our opinion that man contributes to the economic system as an l and takes from it as an individual. It is our aim to train our graduates to contribute their best to the business world for man in constant search for the new and betterf, - Ralph C. Asmus W, O,Malley A H Johnson B. J. Gibbs M Croh
