Student contributions to campus at- mosphere included senior music recitals, displays of creative photography, painting and craft exhibitions. A general introductory course-Fine Arts-was taken by many underclassmen to complete requirements for graduation. Students specializing in music furthered their studies through music theory and applied music classes. Art students practiced painting, print-making, and weav- ing in upper-level courses applying to a major in art. Several additions were made to the Music Department this year. A second pipe organ was imported from Germany and installed in the Arts Building. Organ lessons were added to the course offering sheet. Also, for interested students, a class in contemporary fine arts was given as a supplement to Introduction to Fine Arts. The Richard Nase Memorial Fund was started to con- tribute to the music program. Mr. Nase, who helped to install the pipe organs, died of leukemia on Christmas Eve. The Art Department sponsored two exhibits this year -paintings by Carlos Morgan and prints by Ray French. Invited by the Music Department, the Chamber Singers of indiana University presented a program of sixteenth century madrigals in November. Larry Landes concentrates on notes, foot pedals, and keyboards at organ practice.

Division ll groups-Commerce, Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology-under the title of Social Sciences, prepared students in each of these fields. Although broadly related in the study of the human sciences, each department had its separate courses to perfect skills and further knowledge necessary for careers in each field. Introduction to Civilization, a general education re- quirement, was organized again this year as a mass lecture and smaller discussion groups. Dr. John Oyer delivered the class lectures in Assembly Hall, discussions in current events and problems of history were led by Oyer and teaching fellows James Hertzler, Gordon Zook, and Alan Kreider. The sociology department again this year started future social workers on their studies. Students in other fields also registered for upper-level courses in this group. Plans of study in Commerce varied from one- year secretarial certificates to B.A. degrees in the field. Freshmen meet in remodeled Assembly Hall to listen to Dr. John Oyer's civilization lecture and to take careful notes for future study.
