Natural Sciences Beust New lub Chemistry students begin work in one of the newly-remodeled laboratories In the Science Building. Most student majors in the fields of the natural sciences worked in new or remodeled laboratories this year. Giving their old Science Building rooms to the art department, home eco- nomics people moved over to the first Iloor of the new Arts Building. Girls now work in ultra-modern kitchens, a smaller dining room, and a larger sewing labora- tory. Facilities there also include faculty offices, a reading room, and a lecture room. Advanced chemistry courses, includ- ing a new one in Special Problems in Chemistry, began using the desks and equipment in the renovated laboratories in Science Building. These labs also received much new equipment as a result of the original research being car- ried out by Professors Arthur Smucker and Henry Uieaver. Established in the former Science Building basement quarters of the Nurs- ing School, the agriculture department, headed by Dr. Franklin Bishop, offered a major for the hrst time. Offerings in the held now consist ol' eighteen courses, including one required, non-credit course, A Look at Agriculture. As Lester Zimmerman watches them, Soils students Weldon Berkey and LeRoy Meyer begin o1n experiment on soil ccupillority.

Civ Revised, New Maier 0ffered Also with help from the Lilly grant, the basic Introduction to Civilization course was overhauled this year. The present set-up is similar to the revised General Literature program. A four-hour course, Civilization now consists of three mass lectures, delivered by john Oyer, and one smaller discussion session per week. Discussion leaders this year in- cluded Oyer, Dr. Hans Hillergrand, and two senior teaching fellows, Richard Camp and Daniel Leatherman. Accord- ing to present plans, faculty members will lead the discussion groups next year. During a lirst semester study of the Middle Ages, a guest lecturer, Father Roland G. Simonitsch, C.S.E., ol Notre Dame, spoke to the class on The Cath- olic View of Sacrihce and the Mass. The division of social sciences also boasted a new preprofessional social work major. Directed by Lester Click, Dean of Men, this course of study is designed to prepare students for actual social service work, post-graduate study in social work, and positions in various service activities of the Church. Curriculum additions for this major include a four-hour Social YVork Semi- nar, requiring, among other things, an individual research project and -10 clock hours of experience at a social agency. Fran Weaver develops skill on the adding machine in Office Machines and Filing class while Donna Eicheiberger checks figures with Miss Hershberger. f 'M., A 93 X, '-2i:f:,-gg 6545 i-K ,'1 f' -e f' 9 iii 5 21
