Seaver College. On April 20. the Malibu campus was dedicated in honor of the generosity of Frank and Blanche Seaver. “From this day forward it shall be known to men everywhere as the Frank R. Seaver College,” Dr. William S. Banowsky, university president, pronounced. Seaver College, which will have a ceiling enrollment of 1800, will have a deep and indelible impact on the minds of the students, Banowsky said. “The Seaver gifts were given with no strings attached. Once Frank and Blanche determined that a project merited their support they also determined that it was of sufficient integrity to seek its own course,” Reagan continued. “If Frank were here, he’d he embarrassed. He was modest, unassuming, a gentleman who shunned the spotlight. Ilis interest was not in collecting accolades but in making it possible for others to grow and expand and thus extend the cycle of benefits of this American dream,” Reagan said. Seaver College—the cornerstone and central core of academic enterprise—is one of the numerous academic components which will come under the banner of Pepperdine University, Banowsky said. The dedication marked the end of Pepperdine University’s 39th year in existence. The 1976 Bicentennial year will mark the beginning of Malibu’s Seaver College.

Could there be a symbol of unity for a unique group of individuals? Or could there be nothing more than a little bit of creative wisdom? If you answered yes” to any of these questions. you must be thinking about the nicknames students have affectionately tagged to their residence homes. Names such as “Dodd's Chargers.” “Otto’s Place,” “Jenny and the Jets or ’‘Peppermint Patty's have come to mean many things to many people. Some, such as “Lois’ Ladies, take the nickname from the resident assistant’s name. Others, for instance, “Sun Kings.” are taken from outstanding features in a particular home. Wearing shirts displaying their dorm name, students participated in activities such as football games, birthday parties, and devotionals. Open suite visitation was enacted for the first time the winter trimester. Suite residents were able to petition for weekly Sunday visitation of the opposite sex by applying to resident assistants and the housing office. 29 Y ear-in-Europe Above: Brenda Ross bach and Iarry Cheeves wrestle with Deck-en, the German equivalent for quilts.

In Heidelberg, Pepperdine students could be found just about anywhere — from Amerika Haus where classes were held to the top of Mount Odenwald, site of Hitler’s amphitheater. Three organized field trips included a first-time excursion to East Germany to see the founding place of Germany’s Weimar Republic. The other trips were to Bavaria and the eleventh annual trip to Bonn (the seat of the government). German holidays became important to the students as many travelled to Munich for Okto-berfest” and to Mainz for the Fasching celebration in early February. The European cuisine was one of the highlights for most YIE’ers. Aside from the excellent evening meals at the Burgfreiheit restaurant, students enjoyed Gelati (ice cream) in Italy and various pastries from all over Europe. Schnitzel at one of the many quaint local restaurants on the weekends became a habit to many of the students. Pepperdine’s YIE program offers its students the chance to travel through Europe and still earn college credit — a chance most YIE’ers welcome. 31 i i SGA Pepperdine’s Student Government Association (SGA) President Ira Barksdale sought to get more students involved in the student government this year. Barksdale, who was thrust into the office of the presidency following the resignation of Presidentelect Duke Runnels, has worked with the Student Council.

Following these goals, the Student Life Office, with the help of the Spiritual Life Committee, has worked relentlessly to provide relevant assemblies for the students. With the large increase in student enrollment this year, the Monday chapel assemblies were expanded to the Firestone Fieldhouse in September of 1974. ____A Highlighting this year’s assemblies were faculty and guest speakers, and more student participation chapel programs. Such speakers as Stanley Shipp, Jeanette Clift George and Harris Ives provided meaningful presentations for student consideration. 39 Graduation The 26 fall candidates for bachelor of arts degrees were: Stella Aslanian.

For the second year in a row. the Wave baseballers came within one game of going to the College World Series. Last year the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans thwarted the Waves' title aspirations. This year, the Titans of California State University, Fullerton denied Pepperdine a shot at the national championship. The Waves opened Western Regional (District 8) playoff action by knocking off the University of Arizona Wildcats, 4-3. Senior utility player Blaine Calder, inserted behind the plate when junior catcher Dan Cowgill suffered a broken finger on a foul tip, drove in three runs with a homer and a single. Junior first baseman Robert Corrales knocked in the other run with a sacrifice fly. Pep lost a narrow decision 2-1 to Cal State Fullerton in its second tournament game. Corrales doubled home third junior baseman Carlo Mejia for the Waves' lone run. Pepperdine and USC met in a do-or-die contest right after the Waves’ loss to Fullerton. Pep used a double, a sacrifice fly and a scoring error to score its first run in the fifth inning. The Trojans tied the score in the sixth on consecutive twoout doubles. A USC' home run in the eighth made it 2-1 Trojans and suddenly it was 1974 all over again: Pep was down by a run with three outs left. In the opening game of the 1974 playoffs against USC, the Waves got their leadoff batter on in the ninth, then used a two-out single by Mejia and a two-run homer by Calder to pull out a 4-2 win. This time around, six Pepperdine batters reached base safely before the first out was recorded. Senior centerfielder Skip Willis led off the inning with a single, went to third on sophomore designated hitter Rob Klebba’s base hit, and scored on a single by junior second baseman Steve Smith. Mejia was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Calder drew a walk to force in one run. and Corrales singled home the final two. Three USC outs later, Pepperdine had a 5-2 win and became the first team to keep the Trojans from going to the College World Series since 1969. That year, the University of California. Los Angeles (UCLA) beat the Trojans out of the Pacific-8 Conference title. But now the Waves had to beat the Titans 58 , Waves go almost all the way to Omaha Far lower left: Skip Willis steals second base. I Anver left: Mike Scott beats Arizona. Center: The Waves were on the dugout steps the entire tournament series weekend. Lower right: Carlo Mejia beats the Titan runner to the third base baft for a force out. Far lower right: Carlo Mejia scores a run. 39 twice in order to get to Omaha. Freshman rightt'ielder Tom Ruegger knocked in three runs with a home run and a single and Mejia added a solo homer as Pep won the first game. 5-4. Pep scored two runs in the top of the first inning of the championship battle, but the lead vanished in the wake of a sacrifice fly and two errors in the bottom of the first. The Waves tied the score 3-3 in the second, but the Titans went ahead for good in sixth with two runs and added an insurance run in the eighth. Mejia slammed a solo home run in the seventh for Pep's final tally. But while the Waves didn’t go to Omaha, they did win their second consecutive West Coast Athletic Conference (WCAC) championship. Pepperdine is one of the only three schools in the WCAC to win a baseball championship, the others being the University of Santa Clara (the first five in the league’s history) and Ix yola Marymount University (one). Pep finished league play with a 14-2 record, followed by Santa Clara’s 11-4. Overall, the Waves posted a 37-13 record. Pepperdine swept the University of San Francisco in its opening league series, then won the opener of an abbreviated series with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Waves swept Loyola, the University of Nevada, Reno, and won the opening game of the series against St. Mary’s College before suffering their first 1975 WCAC loss. Those 11 straight victories, combined with a season-ending sweep of St. Mary’s in 1974, gave Pepperdine the new record for most consecutive league wins (14). The Waves won the final game of the St. Mary’s series at Loyola, the combination of their record (11-4) and the series loss to the Waves gave Pepperdine (14-2) the league crown. As a team, the Waves hit only 11 home runs in 1974. This season Pepperdine pounded out 30 round-trippers, led by Mejia with eight. But timely base hits, strong pitching and exceptional defense, were the key factors in the Waves’ success. A pair of single season offensive records fell as Smith, who led the team in hitting (.320), set new standards for at bat (203) and hits. (65). Junior righthander Mark la;e (14-5) set a single season win mark, while sophomore righthander Mike Scott (11-3) recorded 11 complete games, pitched 136 innings, struck out 91 enemy batters and racked up four shutouts. I e, Scott and sophomore lefthander Tony Cameron (7-1) were I he mainstays on a pitching CO f staff that maintained a team earned run average (ERA) around 2.00. Junior lefthander Bruce Beck (1-0) came out of the bullpen to record five saves. Sophomore righthander Jim Carrillo (3-2) also provided clutch relief performances. Freshman Jeff Jens (1-1), Ford Poland (0-1) and Dave Curran saw limited mound action along with juniors Tracy Fikes and Jim Phillips. Around the infield, three juniors and a freshman consistently came up with the big plays. Mejia (.313), freshman Tom Soto (.296) at shortstop. Smith and Corrales (.311) were the starters, with Phillips and Klebba filling in from time to time. Willis. (.270). Ruegger (.255), Calder (.258). junior Rick Cornell (.245) and sophomore Joe Medina took care of the outfield chores, while Cowgill (.290) did the lion's share of the catching. Head coach Wayne Wright, now 169-146 after seven seasons at the Wave helm, was assisted by Clark Rex (five-year coaching veteran) and Scott Muckey (starting second baseman on Pep's first WCAC championship squad). Wright, voted WCAC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, saw six of his players named to the aII-conference first team this year. Willis received first team recognition for the third year in a row, while Scott and Mejia were chosen for the second straight time. Cowgill was a second team choice last year. Soto (also voted Freshman of the Year) and Smith rounded out the first team selections. Lee and Corrales were named to the second team, while Cameron and Klebba received honorable mention. Willis one of two graduating seniors on the 1975 Wave squad, ended a brilliant four-year career this season. The speedy outfielder stole 148 bases in 177 career attempts.

Head coach Gary Colson and his cngers responded in a positive form and attitude. So positive, in fact, the Waves finished their ’75 campaign with a 19-8 overall record. 8-6 in West Coast Athletic Conference play; a record good enough for a third place finish behind the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and the University of San Francisco respectively. The 19-8 mark was the best Colson has achieved at Pepperdine, and the finest a Wave squad has recorded since 1962. One of the most notable achievements of this year’s squad was a last second 80-79 win over the University of Dayton. The Waves almost upset visiting Memphis State, but fell to the Titans 111-108 in overtime. Despite being ruled ineligible in the last four games of the season by the NCAA, 610 Brazilian Marcos I.cite provided plenty of scoring and rebounding for Pep, averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds a game. I,eite was selected as WCAC first team center. Senior Billy Williams had a mediocre first half of the season due to a hand injury, but came on strong in the latter part of the year to close out his four years at Pep on a good note. Junior forward Dick Skophammer who is labeled by his coach as Mister Consistency, lived up to his nickname as he moved into the number seven spot on the Waves all-time scoring list with 1080 points. Skophammer recorded his season high of 30 points in the win over Dayton, and hit 24 in the last game of the season when the Waves, without the services of Leite, upset second place USF. Transfer guards Art Allen and Steve Biehn as well as forward Howie Dallmsr proved themselves vital cogs in several Wave wins. Allen hit the winning buckets at the buzzer in the wins over Dayton and Hilo College, and scored his season high of 31 against Buffalo State. Biehn hit clutch free throws in his home state when the Waves upset Seattle at Seattle. Dallmar, came off the bench near the end of the season when Leite was ineligible, and contributed greatly in the WCAC finale against USF. The man who captured most of the attention this season besides the veterans and transfers was freshman Ollie Matson Jr. Matson proved invaluable in ever.’ game he played, and impressed conference coaches so much with his excellent scoring and rebounding prowess that he earned WCAC “Freshman of the Year.” In the last three games of the season, the freshman from Murphy High grabbed 16 rebounds and hit 20 points or more in each contest. Although two unexpected losses to crosstown rival Loyola dampened hopes of a National Invitational Tournament (NIT) berth, coaches Colson. Dan Yocum, Bill Bloom, and LeRov Porter appeared optimistic about the future. Next season, Pep’s entire squad will return, except for Williams. With Las Vegas leaving the WCAC this year, and a good recruiting year. Pep could easily be tabbed as the team to take the WCAC crown in 1976.

That’s where the Pcpperdine volleyball team wound up in relation to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) spike championship. But while the Waves didn’t win the NCAA title, they did capture the United States Volleyball (USVBA) collegiate national crown. Pepperdine, hampered by the ineligibility of junior setter Steve Barratt. finished second to eventual national titlist University of California. Los Angeles (UCLA), in the NCAA Western Regional (District 8) playoffs. In 1974, Pep lost to UCLA in the first round and finished third. The Wave spikers opened their Southern California Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (SCIVA) season with a hard-fought five-game loss to defending league champion University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), then fell to the defending national champions from UCLA in another five-game match. Pep then whipped the University of Southern California (3-0). California State University. San Diego (3-0). California State University, Long Beach (3-2) and Loyola Marymount University (3-0) to finish first round action with a 4-2 record. The Waves fell to UCSB in three games, then defeated San Diego State, Loyola, Long Beach State and USC before dropping their final match to UCLA. Pepperdine, USC and UCLA all finished the SCIVA season tied for second with a 8-4 match record. The tie was broken on the basis of the matches that each school played against the others, plus the rations of games won to games lost and points for to points against. The Waves were awarded the second place standing on a 1.1034 point ratio, and a .555 game ratio. USC finished third (.9042 and .533) and UCLA fourth (.9857 and .412). The Waves went into the playoffs as the number one seed—until Barratt was declared ineligible as the result of a protest lodged with NCAA by USC head coach Ernie Hix. Pep requested and received the number four seed. The Wave spikers toppled USC in five games.

In his first season at the reins, Riggs led the Waves to the WCAC championship and a 12th place finish in the NCAA post season tournament at USC. Our success has only just started, too,” said Riggs. We have the potential to be one of the top teams in the country.” Riggs’ confidence is shared by others. The United States Lawn Tennis Association ranks the Waves fifth behind UCLA. Stanford, Michigan and USC in a pre-season poll. The 1975 tennis team will be the best athletic team ever assembled at Pepperdine, adds Riggs. His enthusiasm is understandable because Joao Soares, Dave Mitchell. Phil Gunning, Chris Gunning, Dick Miller and John McConnell are all returning from last year’s 25-4 squad—the best in Pepperdine history. Last year in the NCAA singles tournament, Soares was shaded by Stanford’s John Whitling-er, the eventual champion. He is currently 12th in the Southern California Men's singles rankings and just finished playing on the Brazilian Davis Cup team. Behind him, battling for the second spot, are New Zealanders Mitchell and Phil Gunning. Chris Gunning, Phil’s younger brother, is slated to play fifth. The 1975 campaign will wrap up a spectacular collegiate career for Mitchell, who is two-time WCAC singles and doubles champion. However, the highlight of Mitchell’s young tennis life has to be his victory over tennis legend Pancho Gonzalez in a Southland tourney two years ago. Soares, a sophomore from Campinas. Brazil, is the Waves’ Number One man. During his first year in the states, the Brazilian quickly established himself as one of Southern California's top college players. A long-standing friendship was renewed last year as Mitchell was reunited with the Gunnings. both fellow New Zealanders. In fact, Mitchell and Phil Gunning will be Left: Joao Soares.

List year Gunning played tennis for the Waves after a two and a half year layoff from the game. He had been in South Africa playing rugby when he received a call from Riggs. Gunning was happy to get back into tennis and it didn’t take him long to regain his lusty skills. Before he had quit the game, he had been ranked first among New Zealand juniors. Chris Gunning transferred to Pepperdine after a year at Southern Illinois University and racked up a sensational 19-6 mark for the Waves. At one time, he was ranked third among New Zealand juniors. Miller and McConnell are the only native Americans returning. Testimony to the strength of this year’s team. Miller (after a remarkable 2-1-2 campaign) will be playing sixth and McConnell (18-6) seventh. Two seasons ago Miller teamed with Mitchell to win the WCAC doubles championship. Also a member of the top six is newcomer Steve Morris, a junior from Pasadena who possesses an overpowering serve. Over the summer Morris and McConnell won almost everything possible on the New England circuit. Providing extra depth for the Waves will be walk-ons Jerry Chu, Gary’ Feinberg and Steve Franco. Also, two promising players, Dick Herbst and Saibal Mukerjea, will red-shirt this season. The diminutive and crafty Herbst reminds one of Riggs on the court. According to Riggs. Mukerjea is loaded with amazing potential. He has beaten most of the top junior players in Europe and India, and was ranked second in India's 1973 juniors. Both he and Herbst could be main cogs in Riggs’ 1976 squad. It appears as though the Waves are acquiring the stars and depth to finally be considered a serious candidate for the NCAA national tennis crown. 71 ave netters fast becoming big contenders for NCAA crown Lower left: Net ter Dave Mitchell hustles for the ball.

Despite an impressive 3-2 upset win over the University of Southern California, the Wave kick squad dropped four out of five contests in its Southern California Intercollegiate Soccer Association (SCISA) “A division. Key injuries and a lack of recruiting funds plagued the Waves throughout the season. In addition to the win over USC, Pep played one of its best defensive games against the University of California at Ix s Angeles. Although Pep dropped the contest 4-0, the Waves, shut out the nationally ranked Bruins in the second half of play. Some bright spots for the Waves this season were second-year men George King. Mauricio Viladegutt, Jorge Vargas, Carlos Olivares, Pete Ryder and Enrique Ugas. New additions Isaac Vanderpuije, Daniel Velasco and Mark Rudisille all proved valuable for Pep's season. The soccer program has been cancelled for the fall due to the beginning of the water sports program coached by Rick Rowland. Soccer was originally started to fulfill an NCAA requirement last year which stated that Pepper-dine must have a fall sports program. The decision to cancel soccer took place following Schulte’s resignation. 'Hie women’s tennis team completed its first season with a 3-4 record. Adding to the team effort were Cathy Cullen. Tracy Maass, Toni Duquette. Stephanie Rea and Cathy Hampton. Next year's team should be even stronger since nationally ranked players have been recruited and awarded scholarships. Cullen will return to continue her record as number one netter. Several local players will round out the squad. Pepperdine will again be moving to a higher division of Southern California Women’s Intercollegiate Tennis League (SCWITL) action. But with the added strength of the new recruits and the incentive of the new recruits and the incentive of scholarships, the Waves should be a formidable power.

Patti Bright coached Malibu’s first women’s team. Much of Pepperdine’s strength was due to its unusual balance, as the women were strong in setting and passing, as well as hitting the ball. Sophomore Leslie Westergart was voted the team’s Most Valuable Player for her spiking and setting ability and her good sportsmanship. Because of the Waves’ first year success, the team will compete in a higher division next season, moving from the third to second level of the B league. 79 80 Academics Upper left: Pepperdine students frantically take notes during a Communication and Culture lecture.

As an example, Pepperdine-Malibu “ear witnessed” the airing of KMBU—FM (88.5) in November after almost two years of planning headed by Dave Ottalini. in cooperation with Hudson and Provost Jerry Hudson. Pepperdine's forensics team, under the direction of Dr. Morris Womack and Barrett Mclnery, is among the top 10 teams in Western United States. Malibu’s top debaters include Toni Yanuck, Alexis Kuhr. Fred Blum, Carolyn Vadd, and Susi Egli. Foreign language is also under the wing of the Communication division. Students had the opportunity to understand and experience culture in other mediums through visiting restaurants and talking with individuals such as Dr. Octavio Costas, columnist for La Opinion newspaper. A glimpse of Fine Arts Encompassing both the art and music departments at Malibu, the Fine Arts division’s outreach extended to the community this year through the A Cappella tour to Spokane.

FACULTY Avery Falkner Clarence Haflinger Norman Hatch Ruth Langford Lawrence NlcCommas (chairperson) Hansel Raynor 85 Humanities Specialization of classes and academically stronger students were the trends this year in the Humanities division. Two new instructors also offered courses and new classes were introduced to strengthen the pre law curriculum. Dr. James Smythe. chairperson of the Humanities division, said that many courses listed in the catalog under American Studies were combinations of history and literature courses. He said that fewer students seemed interested in these types of classes, so they were specialized. For example, a two-trimester history literature course would be changed to a one-trimester literature and a one-trimester history course. “We’re making classes more specialized because that’s what the students are interested in,” said Smythe. This year, classes such as Introduction to Philosophy, Introduction to Literature and Christian Philosophy filled up faster than the other seminars which Smythe described as being “more esoteric.” New courses were added to strengthen the pre-law curriculum this year. Dr. Stephen Sale, pre-law adviser, taught “History of the U.S. Constitution and Dr. David Gibson offered a logic course. Smythe indicated that he has noticed, not only in his own division but on a university-wide basis, that each year the students become academically stronger. “This year in Western Heritage 1, 60 per cent of the students enrolled were getting A’s and B’s. This is very encouraging, he said. A new addition to the faculty was Alberta Craggett, who began teaching part-time during the winter trimester. She taught a course entitled Black American History and Literature.” Dr. Gregory Zeigler taught the class “Action Theory as a visiting professor during the fall trimester. Zeigler agreed to come to Pepperdine for one trimester after University President William S. Banowsky took two classes from Zeigler at USC last summer.

Cooperation between the different disciplines from all areas of science to pose theoretical solutions to such problems as pollution and genetic engineering in lower division seminars. Additionally, “Man and Science” distributes information about the current advances of science, as experiments in the versatile lab facilities in the Murchison Science Center translate these new developments into effects on the everyday life of the student. Located down the hill from the science center is the Firestone Field house, noted as the home of the Malibu Waves basketball and volleyball teams. The building also houses rooms for a sauna, weightlifting, lockers and classes, as well as offices for physical education instructors and coaches.

In all these, to do whatever possible to give them an appropriate approach to, and love for, the Bible and related fields. Dr. Ron Tyler “To have religious values, goals, and experi-ences-is to be human. To seek to understand them—is also human. To be more fully human within a reverence for all life and its Source is a goal I project for myself and desire for my students.” ur ox___ The religion department provides the academic impetus for the university’s Christian ideals. Students are offered courses designed to educate and stimulate them in their faith. Seven professors conduct studies under the division headed by Dr. Carl Mitchell. Their goals are: ‘To share the good news that the way to a full, happy life is to bring all aspects of one’s being under the direction and control of Christ. Dr. Carl Mitchell To introduce my students in a compelling way to the fascinating world of religious studies—to me an intriguing, delightful and adventurous field of investigation.” Dr. Richard T. Hughes “To lead student in developing careful linguistic. logical and Biblical tools for advanced study of the Bible and religious subjects, and to encourage scholarly attitudes in religious research which will prepare my students for working out problems properly in later life.” Dr. Frank Pack, Graduate professor The dedication of these men has strengthened and uplifted campus spiritual life to an unparalleled “high.” A new undergraduate ministerial program is in the planning stages. The present curriculum has expanded to include practical courses such as Youth Ministry and “The Christian Woman.” In total, the department is working to fulfill its leadership, educational and religious committment. Social Science The Social Science division, one of the most rapidly expanding programs, has proposed great plans concerning new majors as well as the possibility of a Master’s degree in the field of Clinical Community Psychology. The most apparent change in the department stems from the expansion in the number of faculty members. Since last year, four new laces have appeared in the Social Science department. Dr. Mae Keyson works in the area of clinical psychology, Dr. Jon Johnston in sociology and anthropology, Karen Owens in family life and Dr.Elizabeth Lenches in economics. Rob Dyer, though not a member of the faculty, helps with the behavioral science program, and instructs students on the supervision of the Boy Scouts. The Social Science division members were saddened this year by the loss of instructor Cora Sue Harris who died in February from a rare liver disease. An annual award to the outstanding senior in the history department will be initiated next year honoring Miss Harris. The division has 266 students enrolled in its curriculum, and for this reason new social science classes are being offered continually. The programs scheduled for 1975 will widen the division's scope considerably. Currently, the division offers a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, sociology, political science, applied behavioral science and family life. In the department of Family Life, it is hopeful that nutrition, as well as a program combining family life with Business Administration, will be candidates for new majors. If so, a Bachelor of Science could be obtained through the study of nutrition. Owens hopes that majors in both home economics education and dietetics will come into effect. In the proposed programs, studies will be centered not only upon class sessions, but field work as well, so the subject will be in contact with the true nature of the subject. The extra curricular activities of and around the division consist of a tutoring program available to students as a one unit course. Students can earn one unit of credit at Camp David Gonzales or at Camarillo State Hospital. 92 Lower left: Stephen Mcilargue acts as moderator of the simulated United Nations, with students playing the roles of U.N. delegates.

The increased enrollment has paved the way foi an expanded business curriculum, with the addition of five new courses last year. Yates said that this year “nearly 200 students are in the program, doubling last year's figures. He attributes the increase to national trends which indicate more students than ever before will enter into business education due to the demand for more qualified people in the field,” Yates said. Building a curriculum around the needs of students and what the job market indicates has been the controlling factor in its shaping. Changes will be made in the future to accommodate changes in the business world,” he said. In addition to an expanded curriculum, the school has employed an additional full-time faculty member this year. Or. Dan Rogoff, professor of accounting and finance. Rogoff joined the staff during the fall trimester, coming from the University of Missouri to assume his new position. Yates noted that additional instructors may be sought from the Los Angeles campus to fulfill the needs of the rapidly expanding Malibu school. The Master of Business Arts (MBA) degree was added to the curriculum in January as a result of the sharp increase in business majors.

FACULTY Ronald Ix ssett Jere Yates (assistant dean) 94 Education Education has come a long way since the days of the little red school house and Pcpperdine's School of Education is proof of this fact. Presently the school is undergoing several transformations. The Ryan Act (which states that students who wish to obtain a teaching credential in elementary education must major in liberal arts, and those expecting to enter secondary education are required to specialize in another major) has been implemented into the teaching credential program as of this fall. Junior and senior education majors are still working under the Fisher Bill which will become obsolete at Pcppcrdine upon their graduation. “The changes in curriculum have been designed to give students a more thorough understanding of the teaching world by offering a better variety of courses, Dr. Wyatt Jones, director, indicated. Some of the new courses provided are “Introduction to Education” and “Teaching of Reading for Secondary Education.” Jones said he believes that Pepperdine students have a better chance at job placement after graduation, over students from larger schools, primarily because there are fewer students of better caliber to place. “When comparing Pepperdine, with 15-20 education students graduating each year, to Cal State Long Beach, with 1300, it is easy to see why Pepperdine graduates lend to be placed easier, he said.
