This obviously wasn't your. normal science and technology department, but it was defini- tely a unique year. It was a year of beginnings as well as tradi- tions for the third largest department on campus. New to the department was a computor science minor as well as Jim Williams, instructor of the computor classes. Two new terminals and an Apple II-plus Micro-com- putor were also added. In math specifically, a required proficiency test was initiated for all freshman. The test was given during New Student Institution. The big event in the department was the National Convention of Kappa Mu Epsilon, the national mathema- tics honor society. Evangel and Southwest Missouri State University jointly hosted thev golden anniversary of the society. Several remodling activi- ties changed the shape of the l department to accommodate the new computor terminals and provide an office for the Military Science division. In the process, the physical science laboratory was enlarged and improved. Another faculty member was added in the biology section. Steve Flora, a 1978 alumni, filled the vacancy left by Turner Collins who was on sabbatical. One of the traditions fol- lowed in the department was the trip to Florida's Coral Reef during Christmas vacation. Ten students and two advisors traveled to the underwater' world as part of Marine Biology class. The other tradition, alth- ough a fairly new one, was, the V Science and Religion Seminar held during the spring semes- ter The class' offered solutions to some of the conflicting issues which confront Christian scientists and mathematicians. 8 The ancient vs the modern. An abacus and a calculator both served to aid students in making long calculations easier and quicker. lThe Military Science drill team practices for their performance in the Homecoming . football game.
