In his capacity as chairman of the division of applied arts, Dr. C. Richard Cain oversees three departments. Sharing facilities on the ground floor of Davis Hall, industrial arts students and art students perform their daily activities in different wings of the building. Art Facility Is Replaced For Applied Arts Division Art facilities which were destroyed by fire last year were replaced for art students this year. In early May students were able to move their utensils and art work from temporary facilities in Lewis Field to the recently completed art annex near the green- house. Products of artists in the department were dis- played at the student and faculty art shows in the spring. On the industrial arts side of Davis Hall, students planned from September to April for the highlight event of the year, the Industrial Arts Fair. Exhibits from high school industrial artists in the area were on display during the fair. FHS students judged the entries which ranged from cutting boards to com- plete dining room sets and television-stereo combina- tions. Home Economics, the third department in the divi- sion of applied arts, also catered to high school stu- dents at its annual Home Economics Day which was comprised of demonstrations and conferences. 18

New Methods Sought For Biological Study Repeating its theme of modernization, the division of biological science strove this year to meet growing enrollments and in- creasing knowledge of the world. Because of expanding enrollment in bio- logy classes, the faculty has been en- couraged to evaluate the possibility of audio-tutorial laboratories as a teaching method. Change has also been noticed in the agriculture curriculum which is being moder- nized to meet growing demands of the pro- gram. Research conducted within the division this year resulted in the publication of eight scientific articles. This makes a total of 196 papers published by the division in the last 5 1 years. Scientific equipment is a valuable asset put to use by the students enrolled in laboratory classes in Albertson Hall. Clark, Thaine A.: Assoc.
