Languages-Literature . . . Essentials of Education Every Wartburg studenl has at some lime or another come in con- tact with the Division of Lan- guages and Literature. As a fresh- man, each student begins with communication skills. As he climbs the ladder of education, he branches out. Perhaps he will go into the more advanced courses in English. He may study poetry, the essay, drama, the novel, biog- raphy, or short story. One of the newest additions to this depart- ment is Dr. Edwin Sandberg ' s course in the literature of the American Indian. Heading the Division of Lan- guages and Literature is Dr. G. J. Neumann, who is giving his forty- ninth year of service to Wartburg. With the growth of the college, the English Department has added one member to its teaching staff this year. However, both Dr. Manoocher Aryanpur and Miss Marilyn Lundell are new in the department, one being a replace- ment for Dr. E. K. Tiempo, who re- turned to his position at Silliman University in the Philippines. New on the faculty roster in the division this year is Mr. Raymond Harms, instructing Greek during the absence of Dr. A. E. Haefner, on leave to teach and to do re- search at the University of Michi- gan, Ann Arbor. Teaching under the Interna- tional Educational Exchange Pro- gram of the Fulbright Act is Dr. Wolfgang Wessling of Berlin, Germany. Dr. Wessling is in- structing German here as an ex- change for Dr. Katherine Love, now teaching in West Berlin. MANOOCHER ARYANPUR English ,• Tehran U., B.A.,- Colorado U., M.A., PhD.

KARL SCHMIDT Christianity,- Wartburg College, Wartburg Seminary, M.S.T. B.A. B.D. What am I here for? Why do I have lo take those subjects when they have nothing to do with what I want? What DO I want? What should I do? What is right? What is truth? Answering these questions and others that bother most students is the main function of the Chris- tianity-Philosophy Department of our college. It has been said that Christianity seeks to cure human nature by educating the heart. In the same manner, philosophy seeks to cure it by working on the mind. These two fields are related in the methods used in teaching and in their main objectives as well as in their subject matter. Dr. Clifford Hanson, a new addi- tion to the Philosophy Depart- ment, has initiated a new course in Philosophy, Religion, and Life. Helping us to understand others and ourselves, bringing us closer to God, and discovering what truth is can be considered as the main goals of this department. IN AN ESSENTIAL part of college life, the Rev. Karl Schmidf counsels with a Wartburg student. PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR Hanson enjoys a change of pace from classroom activity to his hobby of woodworking.

The objectives of the courses in biology are as fol- lows: to teach the various biolog- ical phenomena in conformity with the aims and objectives of the college,- to prepare students for the specific profession which they intend to enter,- to teach the general facts about the plant and animal kingdoms,- to stimulate in- terest in the field of biology,- and to teach the structure, function, and care of the human body. Mr. Daniel Bardarik has this year been added to the staff of the Biology Department. This division also gives rise to an athletic program for men and women. With the addition of a tri- view mirror for the Body Me- chanics and Conditioning classes in the Physical Education Depart- ment, the development of more efficient teaching techniques has been aided. CHECKING HER LUNG capacity, Barbara Bradle tries to set an all-time record. Page 24
