Historians Eye Future The History and Economics Depart- ment offers as broad a coverage of its subiect as can be found anywhere. ln addition to general U.5. and world history courses, which are required by State law, the scope of the department includes special classes in world relig- ions, a new course on the history of California and the West Coast and a comparative course in contemporary world affairs. In an introduction to Western civili- zation, the college student learns the growth of European civilization from ancient times to the present time. A study of the history of England and Great Britain emphasizes the culture, social, constitutional and economic themes from its earliest times. The World's Great Religions deals with the historical development of ma- ior religions throughout the world. A study is made of mankind and his re- ligious contributions to modern civili- zation.

Home economics opened to new fa- cilities in the new Phys.ics building. Laboratory and lecture hours are scheduled in fully equip- ped classrooms for sewing and food prepara- tion. A two-year course in nursing, integrated with the UCLA nursing department, offers lec- tures and practical experience in local clinics. The course will prepare students for public health nursing, jobs in school health offices and nursing roles in hospitals and private in- dustry. The program will also be set up to meet the requirements of licensed vocational nurs- ing programs already setup in many hospitals. Valley offers the first nursing course within the scope of Valley residents. Before the course opened this year, nursing students had to travel to metropolitan Los Angeles to study. The program was set up with a SlOl,328 five- year grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. MISS VERDA GRINER MISS JUANITA A. BOOTH Home Economics Nursing MRS. M. ELIZABETH LAW Nursing cs .3 yy I 3 I
