Men s Physical Education The aim of the lvlen's Physical Education program is not to make champions out of Carleton students but to help them develop a sufficient amount of skill in a sport so that they might continue to have in- terest in it after graduation. Many of the Carleton men fulfill their physical education requirement by participating in varsity sports while others, who have never had the op- portunity or time to participate in varsity sports, take the courses offered by the department. Along with the regular courses, including field sports, condi- tioning and life saving, the department offers an advanced coaching course for men- participating in varsity sports, Intramural athletics supplement this program by offering dorm competition in twelve dif- ferent sports.

Mathematics and Astronomy The Mathematics Department continued to expand dur- ing the 1959-60 school year. Among the varied activities this year was the installment of a computer, the IBM 6lO, which is being operated as a ioint project known as the Carleton--St. Olaf Computing Center. A basic course in computing was offered second semester, and next year a more advanced course in computing will be added. ln ad- dition, the department initiated a mathematics iournal, Delta-Epsilon, it contains contributons from both faculty and students. The visiting lecturer from the Mathematical Association of America this year was Professor David Blackwell. l-le spoke on game theory and statistics at several lectures, classes and at the annual spring banquet of the Math Club. Two staff members, Professor William B. Houston and Mr. Donald H. Toronto, were added to the department. The steady increase in the number of math ma'ors at Car I - leton- is a good indication of the caliber of the present department.
