Law enforcement and fire technology pro- grams share a common purpose: to provide education in a specialized field. The law enforcement program began with an enrollment of 160 students. About half are full-time policemen, many of whom are enrolled as part-time students. Students may work toward either an asso- ciate in applied science degree or take courses in preparation for study at a four- year school. Outside the police science pro- gram at Sam Houston State College, the law enforcement program at TCJC is unique in the state of Texas. Technical courses help the person interested in law enforcement understand social problems related to police work. Fire technology helps educate potential fire fighters to the requirements of the pro- fession especially those of fire prevention.

Classes Weigh Influence of World Events Through viewing film strips and movies. history students have been able to see for themselves portions of the events that have influenced the world today. Many United States history classes also drew on current events as topics for class discussion. Fre- quent subjects included the war in Viet Nam and the coming Presidential election. Implementing the basic lectures have been outside reading assignments including for some classes, the reading of several Supreme Court cases. Government classes afforded the student a chance to study the structure of the United States Constitution and government systems. Study also included a summary of Texas state, county, and municipal government sys- tems, contrasted with those of other states. Learning the basic physical elements of geography was achieved with the study of maps, weather and climate, landforms, and natural resources. Human geography of the world involved a special emphasis on man's use of natural and human resources in se- lected regions and countries of the world. Students participated in drawing maps and presenting oral reports. They were also given a thumbnail sketch of each country.

Students Build Practical Skills Sewing and cooking accidents pose few worries to the home economics students since nurses are nearby. Located in quarters across the courtyard from the home economics department, the nursing program stresses patient care and community health. With the exception of the first semester and the second summer, stu- dents spend an average of twelve hours a week working in the hospital. General courses in fundamentals of nursing, maternal and child health, psychology, and medical surgical nursing are part of the two-year pro- gram. lnstructors then take the students to the hospital where they work with patients. Thirty-seven nursing students completed the first year of the program. ln fall and spring semester style shows, coeds modeled fashions they had designed and made in clothing classes. Earlier in the year, a fashion show featuring doll cloth- ing was held for faculty and other guests. Courses offered in the home economics pro- gram include clothing, art in clothing, food selection and preparation, and nutrition. 4, it ifli. 53. t S if' ki-A t ' 5? its K A nursing student reviews theory before going to hospital for practice.
