Education, Psychology . . . Stressing Methods Need for a better educational system is recognized by the edu- cators of America. The cry for more teachers in all fields is prev- alent throughout the schools of our country. In cooperation with modern de- velopments in teacher training the Wartburg Education Department, for the first time, has eliminated graduation from a two-year teach- er course. In this department students are under the direction of Dr. Herbert Max and Miss Stella Austerud, who send out many into the teach- ing field each year. Each future teacher spends part of his final year student teaching in the Wa- verly schools during regular class hours. The Psyc hology Department is closely associated with the Educa- tion Department. Psychology is important to both the community and the individual, as it concen- trates on bringing the student closer to the problems of each. In addition, this department stresses methods of adjustment, guidance, and handling of personal prob- lems as well as teaching methods of testing. THESE MICE ARE not men!

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.

Whenever anyone approaches the southwest corner of the cam- pus, he will know, even without seeing, that he is nearing the Fine Arts Center. Strains of music fill the air around this building. He may hear singing, instrumental, piano, or organ music. Entering the building and going back through the practice rooms, the visitor may listen to students working on voice, piano, organ, or some other musical instrument. He may also see some taking music lessons. A tour of second floor will give a chance to observe the Goyas, Rembrandts, and Michelangelos of tomorrow. He may watch various types of creative work in progress. Here he may observe different media which the students have for self-expression. Returning to first floor the visit- or may note the office of Dr. Edwin Liemohn, well known in many parts of the country as the direc- tor of the Wartburg Choir. Dr. Liemohn heads the Division of Fine Arts From the Fine Arts Center, one may cross the campus to the Little Theater, where the Speech De- partment is located. It is here that speech and dramatic techniques are developed. Whether it be costuming, build- ing scenery, acting, or debating, students may learn more about that particular skill. Keeping in close contact with world affairs, this year ' s debate team discussed the question Re- solved, That the further develop- ment of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement.
