DIVISION OF HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Division combines literally Iowa State ' s motto Science with Practice. Well known on the campus for the delightful aromas issuing forth from Hec building, the division provides training in all phases of homemaking, both for those who wish to practice its science in a professional manner and those who wish to practice on a marriage status. Home economics education is one of Hec ' s largest departments. This year has seen the addition of a third student teaching center at Panora. With the two others, one at Sac City and one in the new Ames High, it gives the students a chance to put into practice the knowledge gained in class work. The department has also recently in- augurated a new course in consumer problems for adults. Mrs. Zenobia Ness, originator of the Homemaker Half Hour over WOI, has just co-avuhored the book, Iowa Artists of the First Hundred Years. The tea room, operated by the institution management majors, boasts the best food on the campus and is frequented by faculty and students alike. Mrs. Louise Peet, head of the household equipment department, once more pre- sides over the multitude of shiny electric roasters, stoves and washing machines after a year ' s leave to teach physics in a girls ' school in Turkey. Oiustanding achievement of the year is the placement of every household equipment graduate of last year, three of whom are working in the Home Economics Bureau in Washington. Major activity in the foods department this year was the research on types of con- tainers for preserving fresh vegetables in refrigerators. With this year ' s addition of a fifth home management house to its group, the de- partment may heave a sigh of relief when it remembers that the first house purchased in 1916 was located in downtown Ames.

Calling it close in a Physics lab. One pair of hands demonstrating how to take measurements down to one-ten-thousandth of a millimeter by using one micrometer, one micrometer-caliper and plenty of patience . . . Human Physiology lab— a cardiograph with a smoked drum, an electric current with a rheostat connection, a hunk of frog with an exposed nerve, and what hap- pens—it jumps . . .
