One of the best examples of a course offered at Valley that may be both a terminal and transfer pro- gram is the police science classes, taught by live professional instruc- tors. Modern law enforcement tech- niques have made it necessary for police officers to take educational classes above their regular police training if they intend to go into positions requiring administrative ability. With classes covering the full range of police activities, the em- phasis is upon preparing the junior college terminal student for posi- tions on local police forces and also providing a transfer program for those students who are attemping to obtain a bachelor of arts degree. One example of a police officer who fills all of these bills is Sergeant Paul Holmes, an evening school stu- dent who divides his remaining time between normal police work and a stint as instructor at the Police Academy. Holmes first went through the Police Academy some nine years ago but is today taking classes at Valley so that he can transfer to a local university and obtain a degree. The 33-year-old Air Force veteran credits his classes at Valley for get- ting him his recent promotion to sergeant. Holmes placed 18th out of the 1100 applicants. The faculty of the police science department is composed of five full- time policemen who teach clasess in their specialties at night.

Pulling one of the numerous films on tile out for classroom use, assistant Arthur Scovis prepares to show a film to ct class. VaIIey's sense center 'fm 3, Q I 2 f-0 , . .. Of the five senses, sight and hear- ing are the most valuable to educa- tion. Classroom demonstrations and lectures require both senses for the student to learn. But Valley has more than just classroom demon- strations and lectures in which those two senses are necessary. Valley's audio-visual department supplements the demonstrations and lectures with films, slides, records, filmstrips and other aids to educa- tion. Under the directorship of Paul H. Mitchem, coordinator of audio- visual services, and Kenneth Palmer, audio-visual technician, the AV de- partment performs a multitude of services for the school. Probably the first thing a person thinks about when he hears audio- visual is hlms for motion pictures. A large part of the AV department is devoted to purchasing, stocking, supplying and choosing educational films for Valley. Part of the 33,000 spent yearly by the AV department has .been used to purchase approximately 160 films over the 10-year span which the department has been in opera- tion. An important phase of the audio-visual department is the copying of materials onto slides and filmstrips. Here Scovis adiusts the aperture of the AV copying CCIITISFG.
