His address, [“Constituent Imagery and Poetic Reasoning,” was an attempt to ex plain the existential nature of crea- Itivity. Creativity, explained Mr. Christ- Janer, is a grasping process, a per- [ception, a sort of revelation. In the first half of the assembly, the archi- kect discussed several of his ideas [concerning the “acting out of the 'life experience.” In an anecdote, jMr. Christ-Janer told of his child- jren and a snow house that he had feuilt for them. He explained how [the actual level of reality is above [the cerebral actuality of the snow house. He went on to explain how Ldeas of objects can exist above and [beyond concrete reality. The exis- jtential reality of ideas causes them [to rise above what we might ordi narily perceive, concluded Mr. (Christ-Janer. The second half of the assembly (was a showing of Mr. Christ- Janer’s architecture and how he re lated his beliefs to the buildings he designed. He began the slide show by explaining his belief in life as a labyrinth, in which man is syrn- (metrical only in death, when he is . not moving. Some of the buildings ■ that Mr. Christ-Janer designed have such features as a “passion pit, which directly relates to the normal activities that occur in most any Bgirl’s school-^although normally no \one makes provision for it. In con- ' elusion, Mr. Christ-Janer showed 'slides of several of his daughters idrawings. He explained that their I childlike paintings actually related to the concepts he had just ex plained. Mr. Christ-Janer also lectured to the general public on Wed. night, and he also addressed several of the art classes before leaving the col lege.

By Jane Crocs What could be more fun than a summer in Oslo ? I don t think Sandy Kelley and Joan Hobbs ever" could be convinced that any exper ience in the world would have equalled their summers as Oslo Scholars. For six weeks, they attended the International Summer School in Oslo, Norway. Scholar ships are provided each year by the L. Corrin Strong Memorial Fund so that two Salem girls, a rising senior and a rising junior have the opportunity to repeat the exciting experiences of Joan and Sandy. The scholarship is $800, half of which is used for tuition, room, and board, the other half for transpor tation—Sandy and Joan told of the perrogative to travel either by plane or boat. They went over by ship and arrived in Oslo, June 27. From then until their return September 6 there was never a dull moment. Every day was a learning expe rience of meeting new friends, travelling, and studying, with plenty of time for fun. The University of Oslo s Inter national Summer School had stu dents from 46 different countries. Joan and Sandy described the environment as ideal for ‘ one could be oneself” and form close and lasting friendships . . . • although there were no language Earners, for everyone spoke English at the Summer School, Sandy and Joan found the face and life of youth to be universal. The beautiful slides they showed* the wonderful experiences, seemed! so fascinating that I am sure we can hardly wait to find out who this year’s Oslo Scholars will be and look on them with respect as well as a tinge of envy for the wonderful time they will have and the tremendous learning experience they will be able to participate in. Kline To Speak Of Mathematics Mathematician, Morris Kline, will be the next speaker in the series of lecturers sponsored by the Pied mont University Center. Dr. Kline, who did undergraduate and doctoral work at New York University, and is now Chairman of the Department of Mathematics there, will visit the Salem campus on Wednesday, Feb ruary 26. He will speak at the 11 a.m. assembly, and will have lunch with mathematics students at noon. Dr. Kline has written several mathematics textbooks, and is the author of Mathematics in Western Culture and Mathematics in the Physical World. His lecture, en titled “The Cultural Reaches of Mathematics,” will show the in fluences of mathematics in non- mathematical areas of western cul ture, including our world outlook. Dean Ivy M. Hixson has an nounced several changes in the aca demic curriculum. They are as fol lows : 1. The Health Knowledge Test will no longer be given to fresh men. Health lectures will also be discontinued, and health instruction will be included in the body mecha nics course. 2. Four new courses have been approved: Sociology 130. Cultural Anthro pology (3) A study of primitive societies, present, historical, and pre-his- torical as to their social organi zation and cultural attainment. No pre-requisite. (Wendt) The Department plans to alternate this course with geography, teach ing geography in the fall and an thropology in the spring. The new course would be open to freshmen. Chemistry 260. Biochemistry (3) An introduction to modern Bio chemistry with emphasis on the structure and chemical proper ties of biologically important molecules, such as the enzymes and nucleic acids. Prerequisite: Chemistry 102 Two lectures, three laboratory hours. Chemistry 218. Inorganic Chemis try (3) Modern aspects of inorganic chemistry dealing with the periodic table,, theories of val- ancy, and representative ele ments according to their posi tion in the periodic table. Prerequisite: Chemistry 1-2 Co-requisite: Mathematics 30. Biology 20. Experimental Physio logy (4) An introduction to cellular, comparative, and mammalian physiology With emphasis on an experimental understanding of physiological processes. Three lectures, one three- hour laboratory period. Prerequisite : Biology 1-2. 3. Physiology will no longer be a requirement for a Bachelor of Science degree. 4. Physical Chemistry 301-302 will be a requirement for a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry. 5. Chemistry 101, 102 will carry 4 hours of credit each semester. 6. Change Biology 106, Ecology, from two lectures per week to three, and from three to four credit hours. 7. Change Biology 201, Genetics, from two lectures per week to three, and from three to four credit hours. 8. Change Biology 101-102 from a year course to two semester courses with the following de scriptions : a. Biology 101 (3) Morphology of Non-seed Plants A comparative study of the non-seed plants with emp hasis on morphology, ana tomy and phylogeny. Cul turing andl growing tech niques are taught in the laboratory in addition to a systematic study of the plant groups. Prerequisite: Biology 1-2. 2 lectures and 1 three- hour laboratory. Mr. McLeod b. Biology 102 (3) Taxonomy of Seed Plants A study of the morpho logy, classification, nomen clature and systematics of the seed plants with emp hasis upon orders and families. The laboratory stresses the collection and identification of specimens from the local Spring Flora. One extended field trip to the Great Smokies is taken in the spring. Prerequisite: Biology 1-2. 1 lecture, 2 three-hour laboratories. Mr. McLeod 9. Replace Biology 304, Micro- (Continned on png* 3)
