Social Sciences . . . Relation of Many Fields Under the auspices of Dr. Ger- hard Ottersberg, Ihe interrelation of the fields of the Social Sciences is ably taught. Not only is the re- lationship of family and home studied, but also economics, busi- ness administration, political science, and history. These fields of study intertwine and better equip the student to appreciate the world and the society in which he lives. These studies also en- able him to be a part of the vast relationship of the Social Sciences. This year a part-time instructor of accounting was again added to the Department of Business Ad- ministration in the person of Mr. Donald Martens, Waverly certi- fied public accountant. Every student who comes to Wartburg will at some time or other come into contact with one or more phases of the social sciences. Many will choose his- tory, sociology, business, or home economics as their major field. The social science division sends students into many different walks of life. Some teach, and others go into the business world. AUGUST BAETKE Sociology,- Wartburg College, B.A.; Wartburg Seminary,- Chicago U., A.M. G.

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

Vanguard . . . guided missiles . . . rockets ... a trip to the moon -- science today is hold- ing the center of world atten tion. We need more scientists! is the cry that comes to many today as they are choosing their vocations. Seldom, if ever before, has science so cried out for millions to join in and aid in the march of progress. In addition to much added knowledge about space this year, scientists of the world are observ- ing the international geophysical year. Many studies are being made of the earth, its effects on outer space, and the effects of out- er space on the earth. Under the direction of Dr. A. W. Swensen, Wartburg is doing its part to try to meet the growing de- mand for scientists. Included in the Wartburg Division of Physical Sciences are the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, and Mathematics. Radiological Monitoring is a new course being offered by Dr. Swensen. Two new instructors have been added to this division this year, Dr. Charles Swenson and Mr. Wil- liam Waltmann.
