The department has a gra- duate program that offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in biology. Association with the graduate program add strength to the undergraduate program by in- creasing the variety of courses available, and by stimulating more interest in research. A goal of the department is to strengthen this relationship by combining the undergraduate and graduate pro- grams on one campus. Faculty research currently in progress on the La Sierra Campus includes cyto- logical studies of insect reproduction by Douglas Eddleman and study of the population genetics of yeast by Gary Bradley. The department encourages student research, expecially through the research curriculum, which providesamore opportunity for undergraduate involvement in research and research seminars. Antoher strength of the biology department is the variety of field station courses that it offers. There are two biology field stations in the Galapagos Is- lands, and one of them is operated by the Loma Lin- da University Department of Biology. We teach at least one course there each summer. Also we are affiliated with the Walla Walla marine biology field station near Anacortes, Washington, where a variety of courses are taught each summer. Our third option is a wilderness ecology course taught each summer in the California mountains. The 200+ biology majors are receiving training that prepares them for further training and jobs in research, college, academy, or professional school teaching, forestry, environmental study and pollu- tion control or for further study in medical fields. ,aww Dr. Norman L.

1.25 -,mzlwy , . A,,A I Mr. Roger A. Churches, Chairman THE DEPARTMENT OF ART The art department serves art-oriented majors and general students. All beginning courses are open to any major from any department. The art department feels that we all have a respon- sibility to the whole man-to the creative and intuitive falbeit non-verbalj right hemisphere of the brain, as well as to the cognitive and verbal left hemisphere. Through the arts we are able to reach, to open, to un- derstand our non-verbal right hemisphere. Studies in art help the student explore and put more meaning into the visual and spacial objects the right hemisphere perceives. In studying especially the basic elements of line, texture, plane, and dimension, the student is able to grasp and understand the abstract elements fper- ceived in the left hemispherel. An appreciation for these abstract elements as well as the more obvious element of color is also a departmental concern. In the study of art, its order, we attempt to come clo- ser to understanding the meaning of the world's crea- tion-and the image of God through it--God as a play- fully creative and happy god. We are interested in shaping artists who are inter- acting with the aforementioned elements. Some possi- ble professional outlets for the student include sculp- tors, painters, designers, potters, teachers, Commercial artists, bio-medical illustrators, photographers and printmakers.

HOW'S BUSINESS An enrollment burst three years ago in the Business and Economics Department has been followed by con- tinued increases of 15 to 30 students every year. The current enrollment total is 200: 65 accounting, 125 man- agement and 10 food service management. A Master's program in Hospital Administration has been recently approved to be operated cooperative- ly with the Department of Health Administration. In addition the department is developing plans for an external degree program and also for a program at South China Union College in Hong Kong. Current chairman Robert Ford assumed leadership in 1977, following tive years of teaching in the depart- ment. Wilfred Hillock, previous chairman, continues to teach, in addition to assuming the role of coordina- tor for the professional and applied programs of Loma Linda University. The department emphasized extracurricular activ- ities. These include an annual 18th consecutivej excur- sion to the Colorado River. In addition, seminars pro- vide vital enrichment and integration of the curriculum, and teacher-student contacts with the business com- munity at large. The result is constant nurture and an acquaintance with current trends. Business is good. Mr. Wilfred M. Hillock Dr. Antoine G. Jabbour Mr. William J. Key fm? wx -fg.,.,..-..al..fi X .y... X. .
