"The trend today is towards men
a well as women participating
lore and more in family life,"
dre. Louis* Cole, head of the home.
iaking department has declared.
1he feels that more men should
Rke some of the pertinent courses.
Mrs. Cole pointed out that,
Homemaking is a career in itself,
et too many of us tend to over
>ok the necessity for good prep
ration. In homes where there is
ome kind of management there
re better family relations and a
igher standard of living," the de
artment head added.
The Depar;ment offers a num
er of courses in home living and
amily life, which include responsi
ility for marriage and taking care
f children, buying textiles, foods
reparation, clothing construction,
inancial and time management,
nd nutrition and homemaking.
These courses have no prerequis
es and therefore they can be in
Luded into most any schedule.
'he homemaking department is
ocated in the ground floor of Lie

Students Dubious 1
About Professor
At First Meeting
By BARBARA DERRICK
"Pardon my yankee brogue," C
these words which poured from the 1
mouth of William L. Spalding, pro- f
fessor of history, left dubious ex
pressions on the faces of his stu- ]
dents.
One question crystallized every
student's face. Who is this man , s
from Pennsylvania, what is he
like? For several weeks the stu- j
dents of Professor Spaulding have I
allowed quizzical expressions to I
dominate t h e i r countenance,
prompted only by unfamiliarity of I
their new professor.
There was nothing in the uptilt ,
of his chin or in his perspicuous
brown eyes to offend them; never- c
theless, each student eyed him sus
piciously as he crossed the room,
as if expectaing him to pounce ]
upon them as a lion would his prey.
When the class bell rang Profes- I
sor Spalding glanced up; his lips
tickled into an affable grin as he
said in a lenient voice, "No assign
ment Thursday."
The students' expressions proved
there would be no more quizzical
glances adorning their faces in
"their" Professor Spalding's class.
