B A Offers Three Training Programs In addition to doing his class assignments, John Tiernagel works part time in the area of his major-Business Administration. John is seen here with his aunt who is also one of his bosses. To make each student more than employable, whether he spends one, two, or four years in college, is the goal of the BUSINESS ADMINISTRA- TION DEPARTNIENT. Its three differ- ent training programs are formed to accomplish this end. In the one-year secretarial pro- gram, high concentration is placed on skill subjects, business English, com- munications, and introduction courses, whereas, outside academic subjects receive more emphasis in the two- year study to develop better-rounded individuals. The two-year academic program provides the basic back- ground necessary for entrance at the iunior level in a four-year school.

Courses Fill Multiple Because of its increased importance and its popularity with non-science maiors, the Depart- ment of Biological Sciences has seen its enroll- ment double in the past four years to 858 Day and 210 Evening students. Expansion, improved modern laboratory equipment, and an increase in the number of instructors from six to nine have been the natural consequences of this enrollment growth. Expansion has been aided also through the removal of the Chemistry and Geology classes into their own building, thus increasing class- room and laboratory space available in the original Science Building. Several new micro- scopes, new slides, and a physiograph are recent additions tothe equipment. l 'ss 9. if Q aff The study of fish anatomy enables Billie Rodgers and Jerry Teck to make biological comparisons of animal types, as Dr. Orty Orr points out the charac- teristic features of the dog fish shark.

Add StciffM mbers, ew Equipment Geared to those desiring to be IBM accountants, II courses in Data Processing are concerned with the operations and wiring of punched card equipment, IBM systems and procedures, and computer program- ming. To accommodate the annual 2O to 40 percent increase in The depart- ment enrollment, at least one new teacher has been added to the staff each year. Mr. William Waterman and Mrs. Janet Ladner ioined the staff in the fall of 1962. Just this year such equipment as the Edison Voice Writer, Automatic Calculator, computer, new tape recorders, and I2 new type- writers were acquired. Although deluged by the many jobs to be handled, Kathleen Weisse, secretary to Dean Culwell, remains seemingly calm as she assists Officer Lee Thornton, Dr. Culwell, and Dwight Miller with their various problems. 41.1 To acquire a profession, Raymond Suire, a deaf mute, is taking an Evening course in IBM operation under the instruction of Mr. Don Huntley, right. The two use sign language to converse. The actual gaining of practical skills is one of the main facets of the secretarial and business administration courses. Here prospective secretaries practice typing and transcribing shorthand notes. . f ii i ? 97
