Historical Background Clarifies Current World Problems mSlURY FAOULIV— iV« , . P. I ' triy, W. Yearns, F. C:l( 1), D. Smiley. Sianding: T, Mullen, B. Gokhale, R. Zub R. Barnett, J. Hendricks, T. Morgan, L. Tillett. A sur cy conducted this winter tried to dctcnnim ' the characteristics of the typi- cal Wake Forest student. Resuhs showed that no such stereotype exists. This is not surprising when one considers the wide ' ariety oi ' interests on campus. In liie social studies departments alone, there arc types ranging from stoic philosophy students to sharper -than-you-think re- ligion majors. Future archaeologists en- joy polishing age-worn artifacts while would-be politicians get in shape for the diplomatic circle at fraternity parties. In the History Department, one of Wake ' s largest, one finds harrassed student teach- ers, G.S-9 hopefuls, and worldly prc-law students. Although their ambitions dif- fer, all history majors are united in their struggle with yearly departmental term papers and in the grasping of ideas and concepts which lie behind all histt)rical events.

nn : t HONORS For those who ponder the politieal ini- plieations of Darwinian evolution or wonder just ;( ' () ' Shelley Bcrinan makes people laugh. Wake has established the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. Its purpose is to fill in the gaps of the regular curriculum by offering courses that cut across departmental lines. Honors students ha e the chance to explore such compre- hensixc topics as Darwinism, The C!omic ' iew. and The Ideal Society. These classes are conducted as seminars with students and profes.sors contributing equal- ly to the discussions. This approach has proved valuable in giving students a sharper perspective on universal themes and in stimulating deeper individual thought. Seminar Approach to Universal Themes ■ niul Ih, lis,- ..
