Northern Illinois Mr. Ronald Zeilenga - Counselor: B.A., M.A. DePaul Alter 26 years here art chairman retires When the doors opened in February l960, Mr. Donn Berwanger was the chairman of the Art Department. Twenty-six years later he retired to pursue other interests. During these years the department had gone through many changes. At one time art enroll- ment required seven teachers, but now there are only two. ln the past more students had time to take art classes, and they tried to develop some understanding of the materials and pro- cesses. 'I'oday's students tin some casesl seem to bejust bodies in a chair, in a room, at a given time, Mr. Berwanger said. The best part of teach- ing for him was the re- ceptive students. t'When I was fortunate enough to have a receptive group of students, the work could be very reward- ing, he said. In addition to supervis- ing the Art Department, Mr. Berwanger advised the Piper from l96.'5 to 1967 when the school was growing in enroll- ment. After retirement his plans are not definite. I will see if they need help at a humane society to assuage my desire to be a veterinarian, he said. Mr. Donn Berwanger gives specialized help to independent study art Faculty 177
