Seeking to provide a balanced curriculum, course planning is aimed not only at the major student, but at those who will use their knowledge of politics to more effectively guide the contributions they bring to society from other spheres. Integration with the broader University com- munity is achieved through the study of commu- nal institutions, forces and ideas. Three new faculty members joined the staff of this expanded department. Extracurricular acade- mics saw Humanities Institute grants awarded to Dr. Pete H. Merkl and Dr. Raghaven Iyer. Pub- lications included the second edition of Interna- tional Organization, by Stephen Goodspeed, West German Foreign Policy, by Wolfram Hanrieder, and Dean Mann ' s Men Who Govern. Scanning the Los Angeles Times brings the State of the Union, 1968 to Santa Barbara residents, facil- itating the knowledge of political activity at all levels of government which is essential to a sophisticated study of Political Science. 247

HISTORY Perspective for Study Seen as Serious Goal Professor Roger L. Williams, acting chairman of the History Department, theorized upon the im- portance of the study of history in stating that, There is some evidence that mankind is faced with the loss of its memory — which is history. When an individual loses his memory, his primary loss is the sense of who he is and where he is going. Loss of civilizational memory amounts to the same thing. He sees the study of history as a vehicle for regaining this memory and coming to analyze all problems in their proper perspective. To encourage further studies, the department added several new courses in European, Eastern European and Asian history and gained nine facul- ty members to fill out the teaching staff in these diversified areas. Distinction came this year with the awarding of honors and fellowships to three of its faculty mem- bers, while several of the staff contributed signifi- cant publications to the field. Many-faceted Campbell Hall, scene of several lower- division history classes, might be the theme of reflec- tion for Dr. Graham. By day, the hall can pass for a mini-cyclotron, while the night shadows turn it into a potential Byzantine mosque.

PSYCHOLOGY Fundomenfal Atfifude Stands Ouf in Research Taking a rather unique stand in relation to their research techniques, the Psychology Department at UCSB is committed to a program of investigation of basic fundamentals, as opposed to the clinical, industrial and psycho-analytical research preva- lent on many college campuses today. Such diverse general education requirements as Philosophy and Anthropology support this stand. An increase of three faculty members facilitated the continuation of study programs, while a short- age of new funds prevented the instigation of new programs and research grants. v. -aV .
