For over thirty years the Physical Education Division shared a gym With Bakersfield High School. It is interesting to note that the first PE classes were composed of high school and college students, but that each group had a different as- signment. Now the Division is housed in a modern building with the most up-to-date equip- ment available. Training .in twenty-two Sports is offered to meet everyone's interests. And Gilbert Bishop Division Chairman in anyone possessing a Student Body Card may take advantage of the facilities. In the Division's first year there was one teacher.

Four new teachers at BC plus three at China Lake brought the number of instructors in the Division to thirty-five. Out of this number six hold doctorates. The biggest change in the Division was the completion of the new $600,000 Science Building. One of its most out- standing features is a planetarium Where night time conditions are simu- lated during ClCISS hours. Red leather padded planetarium Chairs are tilted forty-five degrees for comfortable view- inqwand sleepy students. A large console makes it possible for an oper- ator to produce sound effects by mere- ly pressing buttons. Also included in the building are three drawing labs, Ct geology lab, the Nursing Department, and all math classes except engineer- ing math. Projected plans included moving two life science classes, CI meteorology class, and two chemistry classes into the building as enrollment increases.
