Department
To Revamp
Curriculum
By DONNA ROBINSON
The mathematics department
has announced changes in its bas-
ic courses which will become ef-
fective partially next fall and
partly next spring.
Mathematics 241, college alge-
bra and introduction to plane an-
alytic geometry, is being offered
for the last time this semester, and
242, plane and solid analytic geom-
etry, with a start in calculus, will
be offered for the last time next
fall, Prof. K. B. Leisenring, chair-
man of the elementary curriculum
committee of the math depart-
ment, said.
Two Sequences
The first year courses for stu-
dents entering the University with
good backgrounds in algebra,
geometry, and trigonometry will
now be mathematics 233 and 234,
unified analytic geometry and cal-
culus, I and II.
Before the change, students had
a choice of either of the two se-
quences. But 241 and 242 are now
regarded as too slow and not suf-
ficiently up-to-date.
Not Retroactive
The analytic geometry-calculus
sequence will provide-students with
an early working knowledge of
calculus, necessary for many sci-
ence courses, and at the same time
will force a review of algebra by
requiring its use, Prof. Leisenring
said.
This increased emphasis upon
the needs of science and mathe-
matics majors has been made pos-
sible by the abolition of the dis-
tribution requirement for two se-
mesters of mathematics or philos-
ophy. This will mean that fewer
non-science majors will be taking
mathematics.
This exemption, however, is not
retroactive and will apply only
to students entering the Univer-
sity for the first time this fall,
he said.

Wilson Explains IST Function

By KATHERINE VOGT
"The job of a large university is
to combine the teaching function
and the generation of new knowl-
edge needed for graduate stud-
ies," Prof. James T. Wilson, asso-
ciate director of the Institute of
Science and Technology, said yes-
terday.
Addressing the University's elec-
tronics conference, he said, "The

organized with the prosecution of
research as their main mission."
Two Sources
The Institute of Science and
Technology handles large and in-
terdepartmental programs. Its
budget is derived from two sources
-legislative appropriations to the
University and sponsored research
money.
Prof. Wilson cited the areas of
Great Lakes oceanography, bio-
physics, industrial development,
and glacial research as examples
of the fields of study subsidized
by the state.
Areas of sponsored research in-
clude the Signal Corps' "Project
Michigan," computation, naviga-
tion, and radar.
Part of 'U'
Because the Institute is part of
the University, it must bear some
resemblance to the program of the
University.

concluded.

By JOAN SIMPSON
The cooperative study - work
program in the education school
is designed to give students in the
school direct contact with chil-
dren in addition to their practice
teaching.
The course is "an attempt at a
clinical approach in educational
training," Prof. Lowell W. Beach,
chairman. of a curriculum com-
mittee in the education school and
one of the chief administrators of
the program, explained recently.
Combined with Psychology
Prof. Beach said that all sec-
tions of the course are now com-
bined with educational psychology

"LONE CAT FULLER-
ONE-MAN BAND"
-From San Francisco Bay
"... reminds one of the late Leadbelly, who was a
great friend of Fuller's and often stayed with him on
his trips west. It may be hearsay to say so, but we
think that given the opportunity, Mr. Fuller 'could
reach greater heights than Leadbelly in the folk
field."

courses, in an attempt to-eliminate
duplication of subject matter.
The experiences of students
while working with the children
is part of the subject matter of
the psychology course, he ex-
plained. For example, the students
discussed a pupil in the University
Elementary School who was a be-
havior problem. All the students
had had a chance to observe the
child in, the classroom and had
read his case history.
Help Teachers
In the classroom the future
teachers help by guiding older
children doing individual research
projects, by giving extra atten-
tion to children with special dif-
ficulties and sometimes by teach-
ing a lesson. Prof. Beach added
that they also grade papers and
assist with "housekeeping" duties.
Extra help in the classroom en-
riches instruction by giving more
individual attention to each pupil.
It also relieves the teacher of rou-
tine duties while the students be-
gin to feel their roles as teacher,
he said.
Attitudes Changed
Prof. William C. Morse, a pro-,
fessor of the course, said increased
contact with children has helped
to overcome the negative attitude
some students have toward teach-
ing. He said that such students go
into teaching only because it is a
quick and easy way to get trained
for a job.
The course has caused students
to be more critical of educational
theories and' textbooks and has
challenged them to more intensive
study, Prof. Morse said. Their in-
creased demands have made the
course harder to teach, but in the
long run will raise the quality of
educational training.
