If you answered yes, did you ever consider a mathematics major? Surprisingly to many students, math at Eau Claire can be a creative as well as active subject. Analytical studies are still stressed and math students are required to complete three semesters of calculus (toting around a book that rivals the Webster Dictionary in weight), but math is changing. In an upper-level geometry course, students put their artistic talents to work by creating tesellation art. Taught by Joseph Teeters, an accomplished artist in this area, the artwork is a combination of creativity and geometric principles, resulting in a design of repeating shapes. Activity—getting out and doing—is a requisite in the elementary surveying course. Students are required to survey streets and other geographic areas, and can be seen setting equipment in all weather, facing on-coming cars and milling students. With the onset of the computer age, the mathematics department is stressing the practical application of mathematics in other fields. Students often combine their math majors with business and computer science classes. Bookt-19

English And forthi, who that hath an hed of verre Fro caste of stones war hym in the werrel Do you recognize that familiar saying? If you studied Chaucer this year reading Middle English would be second nature to you. One of several specialized courses offered by the English department, Chaucer involves reading, translating and writing Middle English. Other English courses specialize in Shakespeare, Milton and periods of literature and drama. This year the English department offered for the first time, English Semester. This combines four literature courses into a 12 credit semester course. This allows the student to go more in-depth in literature with less repetition than if the student took the four classes separately. This tale is doon, and God save all the rowtel This tale is done, and God save us all. IS-Books

Journalism The sound of banging typewriter keys, the smell of rubber cement in the editing room, the scent of hypo and fixer coming from the photo lab, hands smudged by editing pencil— these are the sounds, sights, and smells that are familiar to journalism students. Journalism students are required to take such courses as news-writing, news-editing and photography. But there's more to being a journalism major than just taking required courses. Journalism students are expected to get involved in working on a publication or in some phase of broadcasting. It takes hours of work, but the experience gained is irreplaceable. Next time you're at a forum or a concert just look around. . .you'll probably see a few people frantically scribbling on a notepad or a lone photographer trying to get that one good shot before the deadline. Remember, it's all part of being a journalism major. This coming year the journalism department will be adding two new courses to its curriculum-sales and promotion and broadcast news-theory and practice. UPPER: Ann Oberie witches herself broadcast the news. UPPER RIGHT: Dan Rindflelsch. LOWER: Mark Bkhler prepares for printing in the photo lab. 20-Books
