Niagara University The written record of the past is continually being re-eval- uated in the light of new information. History is not static; it is dynamic—ever changing. The primary goal of the History De- partment, therefore, is not to provide a body of information for pupils to memorize, but to prepare each student to evaluate his- tory in the light of his own experience. In order to be a good citizen, an American must keep informed on a variety of issues, on local, national, and international levels. Our world is becom- ing increasingly complex, issues are no longer clear-cut. The communications media—newspapers, television, and radio- pour out a torrent of conflicting views and vie for the public’s attention. The student must be able to think critically in order to properly assess these conflicting views and sort fact from fiction. In addition, he must develop the capacity to express informed views. History does not provide answers; it merely poses questions. Preparing students for living in today’s world calls for a problem solving approach, rather than one which emphasizes rote memo- rization of facts. In addition, the contemporary trend toward specialization has become evident in our new elective program. In this program, a student is free to choose, from a variety of one-semester courses, the area which interests him the most. New semester courses added this year include Conflicts in Co- lonial America, How the West Was Won, A Nation Divided, America as a World Power, and Psychology. The addition of these courses, and the plan for adding new ones, continues in the department’s tradition to provide a comprehensive Social Studies program for the student.

Georgian Court College The business education curriculum offers a variety of choices for the job-oriented student. He may elect data processing, bookkeeping, secretarial, clerical, or distributive education. These special areas will equip him with the knowledge and skills needed to satisfy the re- quirements for a position in business. There is further training available in the coop- erative programs: Distributive Education and Cooperative Office Education. The students en- rolled in these programs attend school in the morning and receive on-the-job experience in the afternoon in a business work station. Business subjects are not limited to the vo- cational students—they are open to any stu- dents who desires some business training. Pro- visions are, therefore, made for all students to satisfy their needs so that they can be successful citizens in an ever changing society. Donald E. Schmeyer, B.S. Rider College Darlene M.
