Page 2 - CROSSROADS - October, 1975 Sacred Hearts B^nont V Sacred Heart College and Belmont Abbey College announced on September 10 their participation in a Cooperative Agreement which reflects the desire of both institutions to maintain the free ex change of students which has been traditional in the past. The Board of Trustees of Sacred Heart College has decided that they will retain their identity as a predominantly woman’s college and that their curriculum will be aimed at specialization in certain areas. Belmont Abbey is coeducational and has the diverse curriculum of a liberal arts college. Mary Wilson New P R Director Mrs. Mary Wilson has recently been appointed to the position of Director of Public Relations and Alumni Affairs at Belmont Abbey College. She came to Belmont Abbey in October of 1974 to initiate the Re-Entry Program. and will continue in her capacity as director of that department in addition to her new responsibilities. When asked about plans or the 1976 Cen- tennia Year, Wilson replied that she sees it as an opportunity for the College to establish wider rapport with the people of Gaston and Mecklenburg counties. She further stated that she hopes to stimulate alumni interest and participation as the College expands its ac tivities. Mrs. Wilson and her husband, Henry Hall Wilson, live in Monroe, North Carolina. According to Father .John P. Bradley, President of Belmont Abbey College, “the recent Cooperative Agreement is simply a revision of the previous agreement clarifying and amending some procedures in the light of a number of years of successful cooperation. Cooperation between the colleges strengthens our academic offerings and makes much economic sense since it allows us to avoid duplicating major programs.” ‘ ‘The agreement should be of benefit to the entire educational com- munity,” said Sister M. Michel Boulus, Acting President of Sacred Heart College, “for it provides students the advantage of life at a small college and the academic diversity of a larger institution. At the same time, it enables each college to obtain maximum benefit of the funds and revenues entrusted to it.” Belmont Abbey offers fifteen concentrations in the humanities, the social sciences and physical sciences. Sacred Heart’s programs are con centrated around education, the fine arts, psychology and social work, and Special Education. Both schools maintain a liberal arts core. Although the agreement provides considerable latitude for a free exchange between campuses, there are a few restrictions. Com muting students entering the colleges at their junior or senior levels must enroll at the in stitution where their major is offered. Students are also required to take the basic liberal arts core bn their home campus. A committee, ap pointed by both colleges, will review the cooperative arrangement annually in order to af ford maximum benefit for students from both institutions. It is believed there has been more cooperation between these two colleges than has existed among any others in this region, and both in stitutions see themselves as being complementary to each other, offering as they do different options in higher education.

Careers In Chemistry On Friday, September 12, the Belmont Abbey Chemistry Department sponsored a seminar “Careers in Chemistry for Belmont Abbey College Graduates.” The seminar took the form of panel discussion with recent Abbey graduates counseling Abbey students on the careers open to those with a B.S. in Chemistry. The graduates represent different outlets of the chemistry field. Richard Lareau, a ’74 graduate, from Charlotte, who has started in a technical sales representative training program with BASF Wyandotte, talked on Chemistry and its relation to technical sales. Frank Parker, class of ’63, from Gastonia, teaches at UNC-Charlotte’s depart ment of Human Development and Learning, and discussed Chemistry and the education field. Ed Schiller,class of ’69, from Charlotte, who is Quality Control Manager with Photo Corporation of America in Monroe, spoke on Chemistry in the photography industry. Maurice Walsh, class of ’62, from Gastonia, is President of Walsh Chemical Company in Gastonia: he discussed successful corporation development obtained with an Abbey degree in Chemistry. The panel of Abbey graduates were eager to answer all questions raised by the students. The students showed concern as to the application of Chemistry in a career. It was the consensus of the graduates . Hat the proof of a solid chemistry department is not the number of graduates who earn advanced degrees, but rather the success in careers where knowledge in Chemistry can be practically realized. The opportunity to succeed in a chemistry-related career awaits not only the Ph.D. graduate from a large university, but also the graduate with a strong chemistry background similar to that offered at Belmont Abbey College. The Chemistry department has recently announced its schedule of “refresher” and degree- completion courses of interest to local residents employed in the chemical industry and related fields. The program is geared to suit those who have completed two years in academic or technical programs. Classes have generally been scheduled for early morning, late afternoon and evening hours and are available for major credit. The chemistry department is well- staffed with Dr. Winslow Hartford in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, and Father Arthur Pen dl eto n , Ph .D., teaching Organic, Analytical, and Textile Chemistry. The College has also announced the appointment of Dr. Walter S. Guthmann as Faculty Lecturer in Chemistry. Third and fourth year courses available second semester, which may be of particular interest to those employed in chemically related in- (cont. on page 6) What's New With You If you have moved, changed jobs or recently com pleted a phase of post-college study, help keep us up to date.
