 Computer courses broaden math curriculum Beset with the difficulty of finding a permanent replacement for the late Col. Maier, the math department nevertheless continued its intensive program of instruction. Textbooks prepared by Mr. Raymond Jurgensen and Mr. Alfred Donnelly were retained in the algebra and geometry sections. Mr. Jurgensen, chairman of the department, commented on a number of changes in the computer math program, particularly on the new “time-sharing” computer which was delivered last fall. This computer is capable of serving a number of people simultaneously, thus giving more students and faculty the chance to take advantage of the benefits of a computer. A mini-course in computer literacy was offered to all geometry students for a three-week period in the second semester. E. The chalkboard strengthens Mr. Smith's explanation for two math students. F. Gignilliat Hall's basement houses the computer. li.J. Lysell tries her luck at the nuts and bolts brain. G. The death of Mr. John Maier in October created a vacancy in the math department which Mr. Ken Hesgard temporarily filled in the first semester.

Man’s progress traced through varied courses Culver’s history department was busy with additions to the curriculum. Mr. John Bartlett, teacher of American Foreign Policy Since 1945, hoped the course would move fast enough to allow the students time to explore the foreign policy. Mr. Fred Haase’s Consumer Economics course focused attention on such topics as savings, advertising, investing, and other economic principles. Col. Melvyn Estey, holder of the Eppley Chair of History, taught the third new course, Fifth Class History. The objects of this course were to help fifth classmen learn how to study history, take notes and develop a keen perception about historical concepts. United States and European History were again offered as Advanced Placement courses. Mr. Kingsley Moore, head of the department and Vlasic Chairholder of History, foresees major expansion in the near future. E. 19th Century U.S. History reveals embryos of monopolies, according to Mr. Sampson. F. History students perk up with injection of current events. G. Gilbert Pearsall moves in to examine a Revolutionary musket more closely, as students in Col. Lewis' Colonial History class witness the loading and the firing of this historical weapon. 29
