REV. EDWARD P. SULLIVAN, M.A. Associate Professor Chairman Dean for Students Affairs The addition of Mr. James Costello to the Art De¬ partment staff, replacing Mr. James M. McDermott, and the acquisition of a collection of slides and a pro¬ jector to be used in an art history course, constitute the recent changes in the -Loras Art Department. Stu¬ dents enrolled in the courses offered by the department include art majors, many of whom may be planning professional careers, students interested in art as a hobby, and even some pre-dental students. The depart¬ ment allows for such diversity, recognizing that the students approach to the courses will be largely shaped by his personal aims and interests. Use of the consortium is, at present, negligible. There are no University of Dubuque students enrolled in courses here, and only a few Clarke and Loras stu¬ dents participating in the exchange. However, Father Sullivan, department chairman, indicated the possibility of an exchange of instructors in the future. One parti¬ cular benefit to be gained through participation in the consortium is the access to a kiln, an important asset for further expansion of sculpture or ceramic work. JAMES F.

BIOLOGY JOSEPH E. KAPLER, Ph D- Professor Chairman REV. WARREN E. NYE, Ph D- Professor A major problem of the new decade is environmental pollution. Recognizing this, Loras’ Biology Department is directing research and implementing courses to aid in the understanding and the controlling of our polluted world. Already threee projects have been established on Catfish Creek to study water pollution. The department has applied for state funds and is hoping for Federal grants to further promote this type of project. To instruct the public and to extend to Loras students the opportunity to expand their awareness of the en¬ vironment, a course entitled “Environment and Man” was offered this year for the first time. Other courses already in the biology curriculum will take a more in depth look at the biologists’ relation to environmental control. 14
