 Rodger Jordalil Religion and Philosophy Changes were seen in the religion and philosophy departments this year. With the religion requirements changed, and a general strengthening of the courses which were offered, the religion department has done a fine job in helping students realize the central importance of religion in life. Theological and ethical questions involve the very core of our lives, and the encouragement of growth in these aspects of life enables us to prepare ourselves to live in the world. The daily chapel program, under the direction of new Chaplain Gabrielson, daily brings us to realize the place our religion plays in our lives. The studies in philosophy clarify and enhance the meaning of the Christian religion in our lives. Mr. Johnsrud is a new instructor in this field this year. Phil I Icicle

OrlotIC Gissclquist Neb Forde Hr. Bernhard! kleven. Department Head Mrs. Khin Khin Jensen What happened in the year 1852? Who was responsible for it? Why did they do it? These and more significant ques- tions can he answered in history and government classes. The older we get the more we realize the application of history for our modern times. Dry facts of history are not pertinent to our lives, hut the interpretation and active use of these facts by our able teachers lends an adequate historical perspective to the events of our lives. Among the history staff is Mr. Gisselquist, who is teaching only part time this year and working for his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Or. Carl Chrislock
