Mrs Veola Neely Miss Lola Hoffman EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - Producing competent teachers for the elementary and secondary schools is the challenge met by the Education Department. Instruction in teaching methods, administration, organi- zation, and curriculum prepares the inter- ested student for his education career. Supplementary clinics are available for the student who is interested in corrective reading and speech. Challenging experience is also gained through the directed teaching program car- ried out in nearby schools or in the Broad- oaks Nursery School located directly on campus.

GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT - Through lec- tures, laboratory sessions, and field trips, the Geology Department offers a compre- hensive study of the physical processes of the earth. Beginning with general courses in physi- cal and historical geology, the student ad- vances toward those delving into the more specific areas of geological research. Geologic application is learned in such courses as geological surveying, field geol- ogy, and engineering geology. A highlight of the program is the spring field trip to prominent localities of geologi- cal interest in the Southwest, usually to Death Valley.
