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.

Dipping bayberry candles, Teaching of Reading students plan new methods and techniques for a maior study unit. Guidance clclss members-Nelson Woybill, Herb Yoder, Kenneth Holderman, and Margaret Brciinard-enact an impromptu solution to ci socio-drama. Because of greater selectivity in ad- mitting students to the teacher training program, slightly fewer were enrolled in the education curriculum in 1957-58 than in the previous five years. Even so, over a third of the lull-time student en- rollment was in the education division and, with the continuing demands for teachers, numerous non-degree people also attended as part-time students. As a result ol' continuous evaluation ol the education program, plans for cur- riculum improvements are now undera way. One change currently being con- sidered is setting up a professional semes- ter in which elementary education majors could combine many of their methods courses in one block. This year also saw the education de- partment broadening its follow-up aid lor graduating teachers who are placed in teaching positions by the college. l uw
