Debbie Cantrell, senior, said, ttI learned a lot about being a hostess and all that, but I do feel it could be worth more credit hours, consider- ing the amount Of time spent theref Some groups of residents also get involved in special projects such as refinishing furniture Which also adds to the emphasis on everyday living and budget management.

- .. uummmmuuuu-m-um-mnm-m,q4mnmuW-F , Head, Division of Home Economics NI think we are doing a really good job in the areas in which we specialize. If you,d put the courses that we offer and the facilities that we have up against those of any univer- sity our size, weld come out OK. The experience , is useful, plus the relation- ships. Some- times welve had students who were quite capable, but sometimes the personal relationships of this kind of experience can be very helpful-a growing event. A required course for home economics majors takes them out of the classroom and gives them practical experience as aSheila King Have you ever been in a class so involved that you lived and breathe ed for that class? Each year a select group of students does just that; they live a classe-home manage- ment residence. The class is a 400-level, 5-hour course that lasts approximately 50 days for each group of home economics students. The house now in use accomodates four to seven women and one instructor. Charlotte Revelle, associate pro: fessor of home economics, said, llThe house is an internship which gives the students ideas of how to fwMNWW House use management concepts both per- 75 sonally and professionally While staying at the house each student pays rent of $165, which gives them their budget to work from during their stay. The residents start with a budget classified by the federal government as food stamp income. At this level it is necessary for the residents to manage their money very carefully. The budget is gradually raised ac- cording to how much money is left after utility bills, heating bills, etc., are paid. This gives the students the opportunity to experience what is necessary to manage under differing circumstances. keepers In operating within the budgg the students assume duties 2n rotate so that they have all work as the cook, manager, hOUSCkCCpQ; waiter, and laundry person. Residents are encouraged to brin unusual foods from home, such; venison, wild turkey, quail and wil goose. llThe emphasis is on practic, everyday living and wild meats are part of thisf, Revelle said. This Ci poses some students to an aspectt cooking they may have never dea with otherwise. Although the class is time co: suming, the students seem to enjo it.
