The Grecian ideal of the sound body for the sound mind summarizes the basic aim of the four-year program in the Physi- cal Education Division, points out Dr. Reed K. Swenson, chairman. The magnificent new gymnasium now under construction, to- gether with spacious playing fields adjoining, will be the spring- board to this enlarged program. The thoroughly modern conveniences afforded in a bigger, newer gymnasium will offer the students a physical challenge and an opportunity to develop mental and muscular tone in stimulating menti-motor activities. Since majors in highly academic areas, such as history and engineering, sometimes lose sight of the significance of satisfying and essential health requirements, due to their intense pursuit of specialized knowledge, they will find it convenient to attain physical development and relaxation from the tensions which such a strenuous curriculum can produce when the new gymnasium is completed, and now.

Dolio D. D-ayfon Morio E. Alton Horold Bolomon Jomot B. Horvoy All activities of the Social Science Division are aimed at the big changeover to the four-year program, according to Dr. Dello G. Dayton, chairman. This year's program included field trips, and authoritative guest speakers, whose discussions of subjects pertinent to cur- rent history were of special importance during the national elec- tions; thus, young Americans experienced an increased enthusiasm and zeal for sound government. One basic motive being energetically pursued in social sciences is the preparation of the student for a life as a helpful, contributing citizen. This pursuit will be considerably extended in the enlarged program; it will cover in a more comprehensive way the bases upon which Democracy stands, as related to the developments and contributions of various ancient and modern cultures. The ever vital focus will continue to be upon the present, the future. Chtrloi Moor Jonning» G. Olion Walter Nowill Roybrd Uilortdor u

Kent Randall TECHNICAL EDUCATION The opportunity for young people is in the West. Young people should prepare themselves for that opportunity, says Lorenzo E. Peterson, chairman of the Technical Education Division. The buildings and equipment needed for the four-year tran- sition are already supplied for this division, because of its simt '- taneous growth with the rapidly developing space age. Young people really need to be a part of the space age rather than just to talk about it, appeals Mr. Peterson. The community is served by supplying it with a sufficient amount of highly skilled workers. During the four-year transition a considerable expansion will take place in areas ranging from electronics to instrumentation. One new type of equipment to be used in the four-year program will be three-dimensional microscopes. The highly skilled and completely honest technician of today must do work within one millionth of an inch; otherwise, work is considered scrap, slates the division head. Don A.
