Zoology exhibits. College of Letters and Science Advice and consolation. The College of Letters and Science is the most popular—and the largest—school on the University campus. With its departments and many classes, it is no wonder that the typical L S student is usually confused as to the and prerequisites that he has to complete for his major, for graduation, and just for existence. With upperclassmen on the Old program and lowerclassmen on the New, with new honors programs available for juniors and seniors but not obligatory, with the maze of classes and offices in Dwinelle, the L S student ' s confusion can certainly be explained. The courses offered cover a vast range of subjects from Art to Zoology, from English to Physics, and there are numerous major fields available in single subjects as well as in group and field combinations. The College of Letters and Science, in keeping with the expanding physical plant and enlarged enrollment, has tried to adapt its courses, requirements, and curriculum to meet the needs of the many students in this college.

Inside the workroom. College of Environmental Design Exhibition Hall. In keeping with the expansion of the Big U, this year the School of Architecture increased its scope by merging with the School of Landscape Architecture and the Department of City Planning to form the College of Environmental Design. This newly enlarged college centers its facilities on the north side of campus in the Architecture Building, the City and Regional Planning Building and T-10. While plans for a brand new architecture building, which will be loca ted near Kroeber Hall, are under way, classes are still held in the old shingled architecture building which has been used by the school since 1906. Industrious and talented students spend many hours over drawing boards mitering wooden applicators, and constructing projects from paper, paint, and various other media. The exhibit halls are full of interesting, clever, and individual designs by both students and professionals alike. An Associate is offered to all students who, by belonging, can mutually benefit by the ideas and companionship available through this organization. Court of Architecture Building.
