The lemur is a mammal allied to the monkeys. These lemurs from Madagascar were purchased for research. An embargo now placed on lemurs prohibits their purchase. A. Bond Woodruff Head, Psychology Dept. ,.-- V. . ---i -:Q- -57 - f----'Y 'ta' Q-i. 2 . ,- , L -.f. -. .rf te l V A . E- El' ' c S sychology major enrollment grows We have attracted students to our courses and to our major at a rate that is faster than the growth rate of the uni- versityf' said Dr. A. Bond Woodruff, head, Psychology department. Psychology, as a growing profession with a wide range of subfields, has at- tracted students who are interested in learn- ing and discovering facts about animal and human behavior. The skills and serv- ices of a trained psychologist are greatly needed in public and private institutions. This need, encouraging to interested stu- dents, far exceeds the number of psycholo- gists being trained. Research is going on to consider the roles and the influence of parents upon the child's need for academic success. Another series of studies is concerned with the role of humor in the adult, and the experimental and personality factors which affect humorf' Relatively few questionnaires are handed out to Psychology 102 classes: however, some basic information is gathered. Ques- tionnaires are limited rather than take away time from the functional operation of the course. Presently there is no central psychology building. A building is to go up in the general area of the corner of Lincoln High- way and Normal Road. Dr. Woodruff is hoping that this building will be available in 1970 or 1971. . . r it l 1 iii Tl fi Dr. Orde tries to catch a lemur, a verv rare mammal. ln Madagascar, the femur must die a natural death.

I Head Political Science Dept reveals growth We in this department have a com- mitment to building the best possible and most professional political science department that we can. We want to develop a department of national and international stature, commented Dr. Daniel Wit, head, Political Science de- partment. ln building the department, a doctoral program has been instituted this year. ln five to six years, a Ph.D. program encompassing approximately 40 students is expected. A successful internship program, which offers the student a chance to earn credits, money, and gain valuable experience in government administration has been started by the department. Upon gradu- ation some students return to their place of internship for a permanent job, Dr. Wit said. The political scientist may teach, be- come engaged in private research, or devote his energies to public service in government administration. Presently, the national political science fraternity Pi Sigma Alpha is developing a program to bring speakers to NIU's campus. On an individual teaching basis, Dr. Banaowitz shows public relation students Larry Boress and Gerald Smith a formula to finance public expenditures vlES. wg 2 E

Sociology department aims to attain doctoral degree In 1961, the Sociology and Anthropology department was organized. At that time there were seven full faculty members, six in the Sociology department, and one in the Anthropology department. Twenty-two undergraduate courses and 13 graduate courses were offered in sociology, while anthropology had four undergraduate courses. Now, there are 16 fulltime and three part-time faculty in sociology with 38 undergraduate and 22 graduate courses offered. Anthropology, with nine full-time faculty, has forty undergraduate and nine graduate courses. Students are attracted to sociology because they believe that they want to help people. Before they can help, concepts and principles must first be learned. Students also want to help others understand themselves as social beings. There are many fields of work open in the area of sociology. At the junior college and four-year college level, there is a great shortage of teachers. Government and private correctional and rehabilitational agencies, welfare programs, and businesses offer many opportunities. One main goal of the Sociology and Anthropology depart- ment is to develop the staff and library holdings in order to make possible the attainment of a Ph.D. degree. Offering in- struction in the various fields will always remain an important goal. One regularly scheduled field trip is provided by the Anthro- pology department. ln the past, this field trip had been to Mexico during the summer. Instructors of the several courses may provide field trips to their classes. Criminology offers field trips to penal institutions.
