To accommodate first and second-year students, a complex of rooms was added in the new freshman wing. These rooms provided new equipment in var- iety to give the girls as much experience with differ- ent home products and appliances as possible. For the third and fourth-year students special semester courses were set up in different areas of home economics so as to give the girls a better op- portunity for even more intensified study. These courses included a study of foods and nutritions, of home furnishings, of clothing and of home manage- ment and family economics.

Plans are being made now to expand this number to sixteen. A basic course in computers and a mathematics seminar, one-semes- ter courses primarily for seniors, will be added. The course in computers will consist of an intro- duction t0 the types of computers, the mathematics involved in lltalkingll to these machines, elementary programming, and computer applications within todayjs technical society. The seminar course will offer an opportunity for individual study in some phase of mathematics un- der the supervision of a member of the department. Emphasis will be on methods of research and the use of these in the writing of a paper describing the studentls imagination. ll'hy didn 'I 1mg Mial? says Roy Clark as Mr. Lambert explains a difh'cult calculus problem to Louis Brockmeier and him. 30 As Edna Oxmtmslu' finishes an algebra problem, she realizes thinking in depth is essential for any branch of mathematics.
