Page Two SCARLET AND ILACK day Doe I W Appraisal: FDR's A Success } Curriculum \ (Cont‘d. from Page 1) will otter a Z-semester Biology ll class, to be taken alter l lamester of Science I. in the Social Studies division, the major innovation has been the creation of the Social Stu- dies course, a required 2-semes- (er course which replaces last year‘s Historical Studies The Haveman Report has caused the History Department to consider the need tor more basic courses in European his- tory. Such courses are being planned. The department has also dropped the required senior leminar and increased the num» ber of seminars open to Juniors. {this semester, seminars on Imperialism are being oilered. Next semester the topics are urban problems and modem Russia. Other trends in the (le- partment include presenting courses with language work, and increasing course work in Afro- American history. The American Studies Depart- ment has stopped requiring that majors take courses in an, phi- losophy, and sociology. instead, American Studies majors will take upper division general edu- cation courses in areas other than American Studies. Mn Nichols, a guest professor next semester, will teach two courses in Alrookmerican lit< erature, which may become per- manent parts of the curriculum. The newest development in the Anthropology Department next semester will be the course “Anthropology of the Soviet Union and Satellites.” Other changes brought about by the Haveman Report have been more subtle. In many courses, emphasis has been shifted as a result of the com- mittee's work. It has been looked upon by many iaculty members as a mandate to Iearch for new ways of pre- [renting course material and Ideas. § Leggetl Names Music Assislot nl President Leggett recently announced the appointment or Richard E.

By JONATHAN JENKINS The six private dining rooms in the Forum which seat from four to twenty people may be reserved by campus organiza tions, committees, and other student or faculty groups for lunch or dinner, Monday through Friday, and may be used for small group meetings as well as tor dining. Adjoining the dining rooms are two kitch- enettes which students may re- serve to prepare their own din— hers. Mrs. Hawk, the Forum direc- tor, said that both the kitchen- ettes and the dining rooms were being used more than ever this year. The private dining rooms are used by the Student Allairs committee, by dormitories that invite faculty members and their wives to have dinner with them, by the finance commit- tee, by such groups as the Y.R.’s, Lhe Y.D.’s, the Grinnell College Christian Fellowship, as well as the Friars, the MM- tar anrd, and AWS. They are also used for discussion groups who wish to meet with guest speakers or lecturers, and ac- casionally tor bridge lessons in the evening. Students use the kitchenettes frequently for making dinners with dates, and for small parties; a few use them simply for baking. 0n the whole, they seem to enjoy rising them and find them very well equipped. One of the complaints that students have concerns the lack or privacy in the kitchenettes. There is a rule that when the ‘ Carleton Labor and management are negotiating their first contract at Carleton College this year. The non-student service em- ployees ot the college voted to ulllanize last month, and have presented their tirst demands. The position or the college is that it granted generous wage increases at the start of the year and the budget lor the lis- cal year is already set. The union reportedly is seeking in» creases in wages of up to forty percent. "ALL REMAINS QUIET on lnother oi‘ Ari-m Pcwell'r mln)’ limits.

Even it they were closed, they are, according to one student, like a Iishrnet, so that it is possible to see through them. Several students brought this problem 111); one girl said that the kitchenette: are “like small fishbowls which everyone can see in.” The only other toult which was found with them was the five dollar deposit Which is required betore students may use the kitchenettes. One stu- dent telt that there should be some other way to get students who have broken something to pay. The private dining rooms and hitchenettes seem to be serving a purpose in providing not only a place where students can meet with other students and faculty members, but also a place where various organiza- tions can get together. They are quite popular; however, it seems that their success would be even greater if more privacy could be provided. a Bio Field Named For Emeritus Prof. Grinnell College‘s new biol‘ ogy lieid laboratory has been named the Henry 5. Coriard Environmental Research Area. The College's Board of Trus- tees selected the name at its fall meeting November 2 in honor of a 94-yearrold Grinnell professor emeritus of biology. A member of the Grinnell lat)- ulty for 39 years before retiring to emeritus status in 1944, Dr. Canard has an international reputation as a biyologist (ex- pert on mosses).
