BamI'ol'tln, P1111 The difiliculty of computing long columns of numbers above the roar of a basketball game was often felt this year in the mathematics classes, most of which were held in the second Hoot classrooms of the Alumni Gym. A connection was seen, however, as yawning students occasionally were made to go through a series of Dr. Bam- forth's famous push-ups for stimulation in his classes. Otterbein boasts a Mathematics Department comparable to those of most large universities, offering nearly every advanced course to the many mathematics and science majors and minors. l .I 4l,llI Ill, IrI'nlrl1-Ill. 4:1 ft' M

Sf. Xl' l l N 'ff x g sew f xf Broader Understandin qw 7 Z- The best teacher is experience. And the next best is probably a first-hand view on sound film of the thing to be learned. Otterbeins unique Foreign Lang- uage Department has put this theory into practice, as Dr. Lavelle Rosselot last year laid aside old textbooks to create one of her own, a two-year lilm-text which is now in use and will probably be com- pleted this September. This film, the only one of its kind, is in French and depicts not only the language of these people, but also their customs, mannerisms and way of life. On completion, it will be available to other instructors in the lield. Plans are in progress for a similar project for the German classes, and al- ready slides and tapes are being used by Miss Wilstmii in her Spanish classes. qv
