ERNEST BUBIENIEC DR. LEWIS DRAI I E Geology and Geography German Biology History Professional Study Available Within L. . Fairmount College of Liberal Arts offers three degrees. The bachelor of arts degree is available in almost all subject fields offered by the college. The bachelor of science degree can be earned mainly in the science fields, and is normally a more concentrated and technical program. The bachelor of science in medical technology is a special degree program offered in cooperation with St. Francis Hospital and the Wesley Medi- cal Center in Wichita. ln this program, students take their first three year's work at the Univer- sity and the fourth in the cooperating institution. The richness of the offering in fields and courses is a function of the people who teach them. Perhaps the greatest strength of Fair- mount is the diversity and quality of its faculty. There are 159 full-time faculty members in the 24 college as well as numerous special lecturers and graduate fellows. Of the full-time faculty, more than 40 percent hold the PhD or an equiv- alent degree. The accomplishments of the faculty range in field from poetry to scientific research. Dr. Bruce Cutler has published three volumes of verse while Dr. Alvin Sarachek's genetic re- search in relation to cancer has been supported by a number of agencies including his present work with the Atomic Energy Commission. These two men are representatives of the many other members of the faculty who have written books and articles, presented papers to learned societies, and who continue to pursue produc- tive research in their respective fields.

Liberal Arts Provides Wide Variety Of Majors The Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, under the direction of Dr. ,l. Kelley Sours, has two primary goals: to prepare stu- dents for further professional training and to provide the general education necessary for them to take meaningful places in communities. Over the 70-year history of Fairmount, nearly 2,000 of its graduates have gone on to advanced professional study. Of these, almost a thousand have received masters's degrees, and l72 have achieved doctorates in various fields. Beyond such professional work, many more thousands have gained distinction in their cities and states, and in the nation. They are now journalists, novelists, executives, and political office holders at every conceivable level of gov- ernment. To meet these two goals, the college offers a wide selection of majors for students. Those enrolled in the college may select any of the fol- lowing courses: American civilization, biology, chemistry, classical languages, English, geology, German, history, journalism, philosophy and religion, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology, Spanish, or speech. ln addition, a student may elect liberal arts majors in such subjects as art, music, economics, or logopedics which are ordinarily offered by other colleges within the University. Studying samples of various rocks and minerals, Geology 101 students prepare for analysis tests in their lab sections. -wrt Qu'
