PHILOSOPHY This department is involved with the questions that have puzzled, intrigued, and fascinated the human mind for centuries. Questions like: What is justice? Questions like: What is truth? Questions like: How many classes will Dr. Stewart forget to attend this year? CLASSICS The Classics Department is dedicated to the preservation of the spirit of the great dead civilizations, with providing a link to man ' s cultural heritage, with the continuation of the dead languages, and with finding major students wherever it can. Despite Dr. Thurman ' s recruit- ment activities in his humanities classes, the department remains small enough to cover with one extra large toga. Sic volere parcas. illiam Thurman uy Cooper 21

SOCIOLOGY S The UNC-A Sociology Department is headed by Dr. Boland and comprised of Dr. Wentworth. The concerns of the Department are to provide students with a knowl- edge of the realities of the american social structure, with a knowledge of the cultural traits of other societies, and to give Dr. Boland a steady source of income while he writes books. alter Boland iliiam Wenlworlh EDUCATION The Education Department provides instruction to those who wish to become instructors. As the department is one of the larger ones at the University, one either assumes that there are many students who feel obliged to upgrade the caliber of American Education, or that there are many who desire to take academic revenge on future students, regaining in the process some lost sweat, blood and patience. 20

PHYSICS The prime concern of the Physics Department seem to be divided between three key areas: Classes — where most students find a chance to sleep; Semi- nars at the Lean-To. Ceasar ' s Parlor, or anywhere else Dr. Vin- son can find a keg of beer; and the computer — which has been programmed to play games, work mathematical prob- lems, and keep Dr. Vinson informed of the date of the ne.xt Friday afternoon Happy Hour. 1° obert Cole jmes Wills MATH A necessary addition to any curiculum, the Mathematics Department is dedicated to providing students with the skills necessary to a complete, well rounded life in society: Adding. which makes it possible to keep track of the number of jokes Dean Parsons tells per class; subtraction, which enables one to determine the good ones; division, which is useful in a corrupt society in determining who gets how much of what; and multiplication, which is essential if one ever plans to own pet rabbits. oseph Parsons hillip Harlman QA •♦Co ack W il un rancis Co le 22
