Unusual opportunities have challenged the Home Economics Department in the past year. Be- sides the regular extensive curriculum, additional services have been promoted by this department. Students and faculty alike have risen to the occasion and have volunteered their time and energy in this emergency by teaching and conducting classes in Nutrition and First Aid. Emphasis is being placed on the proper selec- tion of food, not only in the Nutrition classes, but also in the Home Economics Cafeteria. Special Home Economics assemblies were a new feature this year in order to acguaint the entire student body of the latest developments in the field. A.

ART EDUCATION Designing, drawing, teaching, painting, these are the life of an artist-teacher and the student lives these activities in Indiana ' s Art Department. The faculty, housing, and equipment have been devel- oped with the idea of combining the practical and the ideal in order that the future art supervisor may become socially and emotionally adjusted by work- ing as a member of a group in an atmosphere which encourages creative thinking. The art faculty ' s ex- perience and training in fine arts and in education enables the students to specialize in one or more of the art fields. ORVAL KIPP Director of Department
