Head Profs. spur learning Assuming the responsibility for maintain- ing adequate learning resources in the seven departments during the 1970-71 academic year were seven key faculty personnel. In the Division of Humanities, depart- ment chairmen Dr. Zenas Bicket, Dr. William Menzies, and Dr. Joe Nicholson initiated curriculum additions which en- couraged students to broaden their per- spectives in the arts, philosophy, and Biblical knowledge. Functioning as department chairmen in the Division of Social Sciences were Dr. Stanley Burgess, Dr. Joel Chaney, and Dr. Virgil Nicholson. In this capacity, each chairman prepared programs to de- velop Christian character and emotional stability. To head the department in the Division of Science and Mathematics was Dr. Wal- ter Ernst. The department sought to en- hance the student's appreciation of God as revealed in the order and beauty of His creation and to qualify the student for advanced work in his field of study.
