Mortuary Science The Mortuary Science Department of M-DJCN offers its students a rare opportunity. Besides financial benefits, these stu dents have the privilege of Working in the country's largest embalming school. The school's facilities are also the nation's best. . .the department even has an air conditioned hearse! Recently, one lady professor, having car trouble, called the various depart- ments in search of some mechanically inclined person to help her. A gallant fellow from mortuary science answered her plea and arrived in the only available mode of transportation - the department's hearse. After inspecting the woman's car, the man diagnosed the problem as - of all things - a Hdeadn battery. il ? fam, r tu X iveft it it it ,,,4g v-A 4, ,4 W K Q K , . ,Qi 9 i , 4 . , , g!gz,',fti'A qgf.,m W . 1 1 I z i f F H631 X Sm xg wg K ig rt ' U Z m S Q 3 S H 9 K ,. q , if f X 31,1 1 QQ, wi ,rg if , t i? ,X 2 ' , 13, i.

Marine Science Technology Actually the devices these surveying students are using are sextants not cannons. Sextants are used for measuring distances, determining angles, and looking at objects in the distance Qlike co-edsj. The new Marine Science Technology program at M-DJCN is the only junior college program that emphasizes the engi- neering aspects of oceanography as opposed to the fishery or biological aspects. Presently composed of approximately forty-one students, the department, which plans expansion of its facilities in order to accommodate two hundred students, is affiliated with the University of Miamiis marine science technology department. Both are participating in a federally-sponsored sea grant whose goal is to expand the educational aspects of oceanography. The course, which entails the marine survey, engineering, and electronics technologies, offers, besides the usual class- room lectures, shipboard experiences and internships with various agencies involved with oceanographic projects. This exposes the students to the environment and the difficulties he will have to deal with. fHow about sea sickness?J 1 Ready. . . 2 Aim. . . 3 Fire! r I . . . . .., . -- 1 - Y - - -4- ' '-' in-iiiln'

Dean Mary - Jeanette Taylor Taylor Quotable Quotes 'GI was going to be - well, it changed from time to time, but at one point - a great actress, and then I was going to be a great writer, and then I finally ended up deciding that I would be a radio script writer. From the first time I taught a class I thought, Boy, you're hooked, and I knew lid never get out of it be- cause I loved it from the minute I started it. Goodbye, Broadway! Perhaps her greatest pleasure is the journalism class she teaches once a year in order to maintain her class- room communication with the students. Why would a dean take time out of her back-breaking schedule to teach? Simply because I love it. Student Activities Luminaries Falcon yearbook staff has adoped Leon Robinson as our patron saint - or our real luv. Always ready to help, always busy but taking time to discuss 'cknotsw and entanglements, he has made 1968-69 easier for us and a great many more lVl-DJCNers. Part of his back- ground was Roanoke where he is said to have wielded a mean tennis racket. Besides his experience in academic circles -he at one time served as administrator in a large hospital but he has found that lVl-DJCN has problems that cannot be cured by Take two aspirin, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest and I'll send you the bill in the morning? His headaches here have been more of the Excedrin No. 57 variety - but he keeps things running smoothly. The only evidence of a bribe we could catch him on was when he ate a piece of straw- berry pie made by Editor Cale and our camera caught him in the act as evidenced by picture shown here.
