A trip through California's his- tory was both studied and exper- ienced by William Cordtz's Cali- fornia History class Winter Quarter. California's missions were toured by the class during a one day 'chistorical site bus journey. The approximately 100 mile round trip tour included San Juan Capistrano, San Luis Rey and San Diego de Acala missions, Special attention was given to the students by mission priests who personally guided the group and allowed them to study Fa- ther Junipero Serrals personal re- cords. The entire course was a phy- sical and visual experience for the students, as other highlights included a lecture by Dr. Lam- bert Baker on Southern Califor- nials La Jollan Indian culture, and three feature films depicting early California and the San Francisco earthquake and fire.

Shakespeare Made Interesting Dr. DeSaeglae1'J lecturer me sary to follow and well-011 ganized for student oullining and notelaking, ar evidenred here by Min Narda Zacrbino. - -.gg W- N ssassw, X his s ' mn' News .. wi. . ,. 'S as N, Q -sf was 29 -1-ss ,f 4-Y x L .2 .4 Shakespearels tragic and comic characters come alive through the comments and actions of Dr. William 'DeSaegher, acting English Depart- ment Chairman. Besides his own humorous observations on Bottom, F alstaff, and others, Dr. DeSaegher also makes full use of records, current and contem- porary criticism and class participation. Students are able to wheat the written lines by listening to diihcult Renaissance dialogue on record albums of the English Bard's plays. To get a complete historical and critical perspective of Renaissance Man, the class also read and dis- cussed articles dealing with Shakespeare's theater, the sixteenth century View of art, history and morality, and the sources of plots, images and texts. Most important in any classroom situation, however, is class participation and discussion. Be- sides individual comments and disputes, students also take over and direct discussion.
