Media offers wide variety If you considered the Instructional Media Center as just a library, you missed a lot. Checking out books was a vast service, but a lot more was available. Finding information for classes could have used a multi- media approach. Magazines, slides, films, and cassettes were catalogued and available. New resource files provided broad new areas of research. The most popular item, though, continued to be the Apples. Having computers available was a service students made much use of, especially for the kids who did not have machines to work on at home. The audio-visual department organized the use of all equipment for students and teachers. Their high-quality duplication service was always busy, too.

 I m Business area breaks stereotypes I like to type ' used to be the common reaction of students who planned to become secretaries after graduation. It used to be taken for granted that this was a woman's field and that men would be the bosses. Computers have helped break down the job stereotyping. Word processors were changing the business department's emphasis. Knowing a computer keyboard is vital and not just a girl's typing skill. Now keyboarding and communication were stressed. Organizational skills and bookkeeping changed names to accounting and became fair game for the boys. Courses were no longer divided by the sexes. Coals shifted and business classes thrived.
