Home Economics Cooking Up Ideas by Tracy Steffen The Home Economic Department has expanded yet one step further this year. Among their various classes they included a Life Skills course instructed by janet Iler. This course taught handicapped stu- dents basic nutrition and food preparation. The ob- jective of this course was to prepare these students for independent living. Aside from Life Skills, other classes taught by Iler were Introductory, Inter- mediate, and Exploratory Foods. Exploratory Foods, which was previously known as Bachelor Foods, was designed for the senior, male students with no previous foods course. Sharon Anderson taught Introductory Foods, Child Development, Special Home Economics, and Family Life. Family Life was also taught by Blythe Barber as well as Explora- tory Foods and Home Man- agement. One of the major projects in the Family Life course required the students to individually prepare either for marriage or single liv- ing. A Bridal Fair was held for those who chose the marriage project and repre- sentatives from local busin- esses assisted the students. The department felt the need to interest more males in the offered courses, especially Family Life. The department felt it was a course which was valu- able to every student, regardless of whether they intend to marry or remain single, said Ian Welbes. Welbes, the department chairperson, taught Inter- mediate, Advanced, Semin- ar, and IndependentfFoods. Clothing courses, taught by Ellen Goettler, are In- troductory, Intermediate, Advanced, Seminar, and Independent. In May the Fine Arts Festival was held. A Spring Fashion Show was done by the clothing students. Other classes such as Home Man- agement and Interior De- sign also contributed their work. Eunice Simpson was the instructor for Interior De- sign as well as Introductory Foods and Child Develop- ment. junior, Renee Cumpton said, The classes are inter- esting and they can prepare you for the future. Students are preparing for a career in the Home Economics field. I would like to see students consider the op- portunities available in the foods field, said Iler. ,,.v 'Ar Y' 49'- .- 11 Home Ec students, Todd Fudge, and Scott Warrington, sit down to enjoy their meal.

Foreign Language It's Something Different by Beth Marsell Here at Hempstead there are three foreign language classes offered, French, German, and Spanish. It's a myth that one must be a brain to do well in foreign language, said Maria Landschulz, German instructor. Spanish teacher, Gloria Gonzalez said, The most important thing is to have an interest in the foreign language and its different culture. Foreign language is more than just learning the vocabulary and grammar. Ethnic meals, games, music, and movies are used to teach students about the culture and customs also. A person with a know- ledge of a foreign language is better able to understand other people of the world French teacher. According to all three foreign language teachers, class size has increased. The reason, they believe, is because more and more colleges are requiring for- eign language to either enter or graduate. Amy Krouse '85, said, If I went to a college where a foreign language was required, I'd already have one learned. This trend of thinking is becoming more common since both the University of Iowa and Iowa State University now have for- eign language graduation requirements. Taking a foreign lan- guage can also open up a wider range of job op- portunities. As said by DaLayne Qvern '85, It's something different everybody isn't doing. and appreciate their cul- ture, said Susan Bateman, ll Spanish Club is just one of the many N ' J Jf xlf' things Spanish students can become involved in.
