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

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.

. .iii Journalism Knows News Valley's Journalism Department is known among Southland publishers and professional editors for its competence in preparing stu- dents for careers in the newspaper field. Working on the STAR, Valley's campus newspaper, teaches the student newswriting, specialized writing, editing and, generally, the iob of a reporter. The SCEPTRE is the recent addition to the department in the form of a magazine de- signed with the evening student in mind. This publication, along with the yearbook, intro- duces the student to planning, layout and pro- duction in magazine work. An annual Jour- nalism Day for high school students and an annual meeting with local publishers and edi- tors keeps the department abreast of what the profession wants in its future employees. Library Trains New Librarians Valley's new 380-person seating capacity library stands as a dream come true to fac- ulty and students who are able to enioy the many new innovations that it offers. The modern library is divided into three prominent sections: the main reading room, reserve book room and the periodical room. New furniture, books and absence of various noises and distractions and commotions en- courage better studying. KENNETH S. DeVOL DR. ESTHER R. DAVIS Chairman Journalism li li -- 4 , l i.
