THE POLICE SCIENCE program of¬ fers students a variety of classes, covering all aspects of police work. Students here examine latent prints by using iodine- fuming test. ACQUIRING the right kind of an education in terms of a career can often be like wander¬ ing through a series of mazes. The student finds himself rushing through the process slowly. What about the large number of students who have no definite goal? What can they do to achieve the academic and monetary suc¬ cess they desire? Perhaps the answer lies in the field of occu¬ pational education, a two-year program de¬ signed to equip the student with the know¬ ledge and training he will need to have a rewarding career in the future. The curricula is influenced by political, social and economic changes in our society, and is constantly being revised to keep up with these changes, besides maintaining a high level of instruction in the principles of each trade or occupation. Some examples of the occupational curri¬ cula in the field of business and related occu¬ pations are as follows: Advertising, Book¬ keeping, and Business Management. In the field of Service occupations are Dental Assisting, Cosmetology, and Voca¬ tional Nursing. In the field of technical occupation are Graphic Arts, Drafting Technology, and Ar¬ chitectural Technology. Many college students here who are un¬ certain about their careers for the future are unaware of the opportunities at SCC. For these many students, and especially for those among them wh o do not wish to transfer to a four-year college or university, the chance is here, the variety of vocational choices is wide.

Police Science Program Major Vocational Offering LAMBDA ALPHA EP¬ SILON — Professional law enforcement fra¬ ternity. POINTS OF INTEREST —Students examine points of com¬ parison on latent prints. AS A SERVICE OCCUPATION in the termi¬ nal program of studies at SCC, the Police Science curriculum enjoys much popularity. About 350 students, both men and women, are currently enrolled in the program here, one of the largest in Northern California. The program is unique in the fact that the three daytime instructors, Neal Tennison, Raymond Hayes, and Duane Wilson are ex¬ policemen. The course is also carried on the extended- day program with Warren Thornton as the instructor, who is presently Chief Probation Officer for Sacramento County. They not only convey the philosophical point of view, but can also give students some insight into the humanitarian aspect of law enforcement. The philosophical point of view stresses that it is not enough for policemen today to be trained only in basic police skills. It is neces¬ sary for them to understand the community as a whole. Their work is to protect and work with citizens of the community. Career opportunities for students in law enforcement exist in local, state, and federal agencies: city patrolmen, sheriffs deputies, highway patrolmen, customs officers, and immigration inspectors. Many other positions are open in criminal investigation and criminal identification in both government and private industry. For the student who is searching for a re¬ warding career in public service, two years seems a small price to pay for such a vast number of opportunities.
