College of Engineering With the exception of hard-working engineers armed with brief- cases, slide rules sheathed in arm holsters, etc., many Cal stu- dents are unfamiliar with the scenes of the northeastern end of campus. Here, one will find the University ' s highly ranked College of Engineering which provides an excellent program for its students. There are many departments included in the College of Engineering, which is highly ranked nationally and which offers an excellent theoretical curriculum. Each depart- ment, through its respective student society, presents a variety of field trips which the student an opportunity to see practical application of theories he has studied. Since engineer- ing is such a rapidly changing field with new developments occurring each year, it is the aim of the University to provide a broad theoretical background so that the student will be able to adapt himself to changing conditions.

24 College of Letters and Science The College of Letters and Science is the most popular—and the largest—school on the University campus. With its numer- ous departments and many classes, it is no wonder that the typical L S student is usually confused as to the requirements and prerequisites that he has to complete for his major, for graduation, and just for existence. The College of Letters and Science consists of the many people whose majors are such subjects as English, History, Psychology, Zoology, etc. The usual hangouts for these students are Wheeler Hall, Dwinelle Hall, the Life Sciences Building, the L S office, or between classes in the central meeting spot, Dwinelle Plaza. The College of Letters and Science, in keeping with the expanding physical plant and enlarged enrollment, has tried to adapt its courses, requirements, and curricula to meet the needs of the many stu- dents in this college.

College of Environmental Design In keeping with the expansion of the University of California, last 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 Environ- mental Design. Plans for a new architecture building, which will be located near Kroeber Hall, are under way, but classes are still being held in the old 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 many in- teresting projects. An Architecture Associate is offered to all students who, by belonging, can mutually benefit by the ideas and companionship available through this organization.
