AGRICULTURE As hard hit as other colleges on campus during the past year was the college of agriculture, which found that tho majority of its students were women registered in the home economics side of the college. However, many students enrolled in the related subject classes, which includes such things as animal husbandry, botany, biology and agronomy. Most of the classes are held in the Agriculture building, which also houses the herb- arium, soils laboratory, dairy experiment lab, and other science labs. On the second floor of the building, one can hear the whirl of sewing machines or smell cooking food, while, down at the other end of the hall, students are meeting Mr. Bones, and are finding out just how he ' s put together. Included among the home economics room is a homey dining-room that is often used by other groups on campus as a meeting place. View of Aggie building across Manzanita Lake

ENGINEERING Members of the engineering sguadrons attended classes along with civilian students, while sepa- rate classes were conducted for the aviation trainees. Because of the great interest in engineering, and the excellent school on this campus, it is believed that many under-graduate students will re- turn to complete their engineering courses at the end of this war, as they did at the end of the last war.
