Dissecting frogs to pollution control-star gazing to stabilizing chemical bonds: all these characterize the science department. Air pollution, its detection, inspection, and prevention-a topic of the first in a series of demonstrationsflectures sponsored by the department. Demonstrations were given of various pollution detection devices as well as slides and material relevant to modern problems. Biology initiated a new system of teaching techniques known as the audio-tutorial system. Its basis is the use of individual tapes by students allowing them to work on lab projects at their own rate.

Music is a capella voices gathered in song, elec- tronic pianos in motion, and instrumental quartets swinging with the sounds of hard rock. KCC offers both voice and instrumental training, in theory as well as practical experience in such courses as Eartraining and Sightsinging, Funda- mentals of Harmony and Applied Vocal and Instru- mental, and Music Appreciation. Intensive concentration in aesthetic design is ne- cessary to the art student. He must be part chemist, part carpenter, as well as part cameraman, but largely a creative thinker. Pouring plaster in molds, forming clay on a potter's wheel, and blocking out a canvas for a painting: these are all aspects of the art department. These principles of fine art are exhibited in Print Making, Sculpture, Ceramics, Lettering, Painting, and Life Drawing.
