Having for many years offered courses in the world religions and Christian ethics, the depart- ment for the first time next year will have a re- ligion major. The department plans to approach the subject matter from an impartial stand, pre- senting the material objectively and without em- phasis on one doctrine. The department fulfills a double function at Carleton. Besides teaching, the three busy mem- bers also speak at the morning church services. +4-, I

Philosoph Without fail naive freshmen arrive on campus with pleasant dreams of football games, challenging classes, and nightly discussions of Life and Who Am I?', A few weeks later they have cheered the football team to victory, booked hard for challenging papers and exams, and stum- bled into bed with hardly a g'nite.', Fortunately, the Philosophy department is dotelmined Philosophy classes are times not only to think but also to dis- that Carleton students be introduced to some famous phi- cuss' losophers in the hope that this will prompt a little original thinking. And magically, cram sessions before exams do may f develop into discussions of Life and blue books are ' ' in Filled with original thoughts.

Education and Psychology The word pyschology evokes many responses from Carleton students. Some recall their psychoan- alytic sessions with roommates upon mastering In- troductory Psychology. Others immediately think of Mr. Bare's hungry rats. Still another group on cam- pus remember somewhat painfully the practice teach- ing in Northfield or Faribault, when for the only time in the four years at Carleton they passed out, not turned in, bluebooks. But for majors and would-be majors psychology means more. These students brave allergies to rats and the wrath of roommates who resent becoming case histories to study man and his quirks. - S- -sp? 25
