Groping through the darkness in an American problems class to locate Mr. Beecher in order to determine how students learn in the dark, I stumhled over a cord stretched across the floor. Amid shouts of protest, I learned from the inf structor that the students were enjoying another visual aid program. Desiring to see more of the primitive trihes of Africa, and finding this a very pleasant method of gaining an education, I remained for the entire afternoon. I concluded, after seeing these ehony people scoop food from a howl and carry it to their mouths with unwashed hands, there are some very insanitary people on this plant. On another visit to the class I noted that students devised their test, inf stead of the instructor, that parents assisted in outlining a course of study, and that daily assignments were supplemented with a semester paper which covered any suhject from juvenile delinquency to Buddhism. Another course in the sof cial science field that attracted my attention was world history, which purports to he the first course in the study of Earth-folks. Here I was greatly surprised to learn that most nations throughout the past have continually attempted to overf power one another. People generally, I had believed, were lovers of peace. How- ever, advancing to American history, I was told that more precious than peace were man's right to life, liherty, and the pursuit of happiness. I also must hef come hetter acquainted with the Constitution and the Declaration of Indepen- dence. Later current history students attacked such prohlems as causes of the Korean war, the eighteenfyearfold draft, rearmament, price and wage control, internal revenue, and America's fight to preserve her democracy and her stan' dards of living.

These weird heterogeneous terms circulating ahout the cam pus impelled me to conduct an investigation. They originated in the art department, headed hy amhitious Mr. Edward Neslen, who explained their significance. lt seems his class in pictorial composition designed costumes, scenery, and choreography of the Quite Piirissiun Bullet after hearing the plot and accompaniment. The cocodicetts, or gold diggers, furnished inspiration for the fanciful creations. Having satisfied my curiosity, I sought to gain the answer to a most pertif nent question. Vifhat is love? To ohtain this hit of wisdom I journeyed to Mr. Francis Neslen's puhlic speaking class, Here students were delivering tenfminute speeches on the suhject. No one could come to a definite conclusion, and as yet, this controversial question remains unsolved. Another department of the fine arts which caught my attention was drama. Students enacted, produced, and directed plays, one of which was Don't Take My Penny. A new class, stage prof duction, commenced this year. Here l found it interesting to note students applying stage make' up, manipulating scenery, and learning lighting and stage techniques. My suhjects will he amazed at the accomplishments of the fine arts department which provides vocations for ' tertainment for many. some and en- as
