SEX from a biological view, Stay awake and you can learn They ' re one of those facts of life that ou just can ' t seem to avoid. No matter how hard you try to adjust and plan, ou just can ' t get out of them. At one time or another every Park College stu- jdent must suffer and sit through an en¬ tire semester of them. What we ' re talk¬ ing about are, of course lecture classes. If you take an ordinary day at Park and walk around campus to hear what our logical and philosophical professors are teaching you may run into lectures such as these. i We should get rid of the eagle as our national animal, ' ' the ever famous Political Science Professor, Jerzy Haupt¬ mann, tells his students, instead we should make cats the national animal. You know why? Have any of you seen an eagle?” The students think for a minute, look at one another and simultaniously say No” You see what I mean,” Hauptmann, says, but you see those damn cats ev¬ ery day.” Now let ' s leave Mackay for a minute and walk over to the Science Hall. In¬ side one of the classes the professor is discussing . . . well ... I don ' t know if you ' re old enough to read this . . . o.k. . . . I guess you ' re all college students and can handle this in a mature way . . . what that professor is discussing is SEX. How many of you know what SEX is?” the professor asks his students. They all laugh for a minute and then one of the students says, come on, we ' re all college students, we know what SEX is.” Oh do you really, the professor says, well let me tell you what SEX is from a biological point of view.” SEX,” he continues, is when the egg and the sperm meet, that ' s it, when the egg and the sperm meet you have SEX.” As the students walk out of class the look of disappointment and dispair on their faces said it all; their bubble about the fun and excitement of SEX had just been broken. After that disallusioning lecture in the Science Hall, let ' s leave and find out what ' s going on in Copley. O.K. how many of you know what Maslow ' s Hierarchy of Needs are? ' ' Communication Arts Professor, Kent Murray, asks the class. A look of bafflement comes over them. One student tells the person sit¬ ting next to him that three of those needs should be sleep, food and money. What did you say,” the professor askes the student who was talking.” Oh nothing sir, I was just thinking out loud.” Does anyone know any of these needs?, Murray asks again. Love, Belonging, Self-Actualization,” one student says. Go on, go on,” Murray tells them. Well sir, that ' s all I can think of at the moment,” the student answers. Anyone want to help? ' ' Murray says. A wave of silence fills the room. O.K., then I would suggest you all learn them by next class period since they probably will appear on the test. Fade to black. Class is dismissed.” LECTURE CLASSES 19

ART CLASSES 21 You’ve just gotta have art Lueders ' drawings of Park ' s campus were also in the show. The Art Department ' s curriculum was expanded last year. New classes added to the program including Art History l-ll. Drawing l-IV and Art for Non-Majors. ' This was a year of growth and re¬ building, said Lueders. We doubled our enrollment in the second semester and added equipment that was neces¬ sary for a functioning Art Department. Lueders said she felt very positive about the department and added, It was a good year. I enjoyed the students and their enthusiasm. You go tta have Art. It ' s that simple. You ' ve just gotta have Art. If there was one outstanding theme the Art Department wanted to spread last year, it would have to have been that one. And spread it they did. You Gotta I Have Art posters and T-shirts appeared [all over campus, and a mural depicting that same theme was drawn above the steps leading to the art room. In other areas, the Art Department spread its message by increasing the [number of student art shows both on campus and in Parkville. These shows f included regular three-person art exhibits in Mackay featuring the work of Mark Swift, Adele Breed, Barry Skye, Jim Winfrey and Diane French-Ostrom. Cheryl Crownover also had a one-wom¬ an show during the year. The artists en¬ tered an all-student juried show at the Country Gallery in Parkville. According to Assistant Art Professor Nano Nore Lueders, who was in her first year of teaching at Park, the all¬ student juried show marked the first time in over 13 years that anyone asso¬ ciated with Park ' s Art Department had entered such a show. Students in the show included Adele Breed, Mark Swift, Diane French-Ostrom and Jim Winfrey.
