Courses focus on behavoir nowledge and understanding of both human behavior and societies ' behavior are an intergral part of the Human Service program at Park. Students in the program took classes relating to psychology, sociology and human services practice. These courses were de¬ signed to prepare students for work in such fields as counsel¬ ling, assisting the elderly and working with the juvenile courts. Human services majors are required to serve an intership and many students took their ' s at Synergy House, a runaway home on Park ' s campus. Professor Mack Winholz headed the program.

Education majors take responsibility T, he responsibility of educating young people is not something which is taken lightly by Park ' s education department. To emphasize this importance, education majors not only spend many hours studying different theories and ideas concerning education, they also serve as student teachers or assistants in area grade schools and high schools.

Department produces future world leaders hat problems face the United States government? How do they affect my life? Answering questions like these is not an easy task. But for Political Science students at Park, questions and is¬ sues affecting daily lives were topics of class discus¬ sions. Political Science students, under the instruction of Dr. Jerzy Hauptmann, debated not only issues of the Unit¬ ed States but issues of the world. You ' d be surprised at the number of people who are totally unaware of what is going in Africa of New Del¬ hi, Hauptmann said. It ' s too bad because we can learn a great deal from their problems. Outside the classroom, Hauptmann students assisted with the 25th Model U.N. General Assembly on the Park College campus and the publication of the Ameri¬ can Review of Public Administration. The General Assembly attracted more than 100 high school students to the campus. Hauptmann said the de¬ partment will contact participating students in an effort to recruit them to Park. Hauptmann said Park is the only small Liberal Arts college he knows of that publishes a professional jour¬ nal like the Review. To me that is a very special fact, Hauptmann said. He added the only problem his students faced through¬ out the year was trying to find him. Maybe that ' s why they call me the gypsy professor, he said. I ' m always on the run.
