(staff photo) Nursing School Admits 92 A total of 92 freshmen have entered the School of Nursing. This freshman class will be instructed under a revised curriculum which was inaugurated in 1968. Under the new curriculum students are given more flexibility in their pursuit of personal and professional interests. Dean Ruby Wilson emphasized that "the program of academic advisement is the base that permits the student to utilize wisely an increased number of electives to pursue a second major, explore several fields of interest, or develop a concentration in nursing." Dean Wilson and Dorothy Brundage, acting director of undergraduate studies for the School of Nursing, said the goal of the school is "to prepare graduates to assume responsibilities as professional nurses and liberally educated people. A base is provided for graduate study and continued professional and personal growth. Courses in the freshman and sophohiore years concentrate on humanities, social and natural sciences. During the junior and senior years the focus is the nursing major, in which both required and elective courses are offered. Transfer students and registered nurse students are accommodated on an individual basis." Currently, those nursing students who are in their junior and senior years are completing second majors in history, religion, psychology and foreign languages, among others. Independent studies are offered within nursing and student interests have ranged from studies of mental retardation to renal disease. The 92 students which make up this year's entering class represent an increase gover last year's incoming class of 73 students. There is also a marked (continued on page 2)
