Miss Skelly also is an instructor for courses offered in cooperation with CMU.
The settings for "The Gazebo" have been designed by
Mary McGinness now in her
third year as technical director
at Manistee. She leaches the
summer course in scene design.
There is no charge for the
program and the public is invited.
Fifty-one teachers of mathematics from Maine to New
Mexico, are at CMU this summer "to get acquainted with the
new approaches to mathematics", according to Prof. Lester
H. Serier, director of the Summer  Institute   for   teachers  of
Secondary  School mathematics
at Central.
These 51 participants are
taking advantage of the opportunity to work together
and share experiences by living in Larzelere Hall, some
with their families.
LECTURE ON RUSSIA by Prof. J. Trenton Kostbade of the Department of Geography last week drew an overflow crowd of Summer Session students.
Five new faces will be in the
ll.O.T.C. department in September. The people behind the
faces are new faculty members

Dr. Richard L, Wysong will become head of the Department of History and Political Science effective Sept. 1, President J. W. Foust has announced.
Dr. Wysong will succeed
Dr. Rolland H. Maybee who
requested to be relieved of
ihe departmental headship.
Dr. Maybee has served as
head of social sciences since
1946 and on the staff since
1927.
Dr. Maybee said that he had
asked to be relieved of the duties of department head for
several reasons including his
health, a desire to devote more
time to research and writing
and to concentrate on teaching.
When Dr. Maybee became
head of social sciences in 1946
the instructional staff consisted
of seven persons. Before the recent reorganization it had
grown to 22.
Student enrollment has also
increased lo the point that
during ihe past spring semester there were 757 siudenis
majoring in social science, ihe
largest number of majors in
any one area in the University other than education.

Carrots on crackers may not
be your idea of a treat, but it
goes over big with children in
the Mt. Pleasant elementary
schools.
They are taking part in a
three year study of nutrition
education supervised by Dr.
Elizabeth Wheeler, professor of
health education.
The purpose of the project,
according to Mrs. Ethel R.
Hyatt, graduate research fellow
this past school year, is to determine better methods of
teaching nutrition education.
"Too often," Mrs. Hyatt
says, "nutrition education is
not integrated either with the
rest of the curriculum or with
eating habits in the home.
The result is thai health is
treated as an incidental subject with little more no prac-
lical application resulting."
Carrots on crackers is a practical way of gelling children to
taste vegetable-; ,'tl one of their
"vegetable tasting parties."
A dietary intake .'-urvr-y ron-
flurlert al Iho beginning of the
year showed that the children
did no! eat enough vegetables
and fruits, especially green and
leafy vegetables and citrus
fruits.
"Wc enn almost forecast in
what ureas Ihere will bo n deficiency,"   Mrs.   Hyatt   says,
"since   many   children   don't

"All classroom activities are
based on the children's needs,"
says Mrs. Hvatt. At the tasting
parlies portions are kept very
small to stimulate interest. The
children talk about the taste of
vegetables and why they need
them.
The  children  react   to   ihe
projects with enthusiasm. For
iheir Valentine's party they
decided io make vegetable
soup wiih iheir favorite vegetables instead of having ihe
usual parly foods.

and  Dr.  Arthur E.
Appointed as members of the
Institute by the National
Science Foundation, which pays
their expenses, these mathematics teachers are here to extend
their previously learned mathematical ideas.
The Institute is the second
phase of a program designed for
secondary school teachers who
have had an introductory study
of the fundamental concepts of
mathematics.
There, are   300   such   Institutes    around    the    country,
wiih several located in Michigan, including Hope College,
Northern    Michigan    College,
University   of   Michigan   and
Michigan Siaie  University.
The  objectives  of  the  institute, according to Prof. Dr. Lester H. Serier, are:
1. To further improve ihe
subject-matter competence of
the participating teachers.
2. To strengthen the capacity of these teachers for motivating able siudenis to consider careers in mathematics
and science.
3. To bring these teachers
into personal contact wiih
prominent scientists who participate in ihe Institute, with
a view io stimulating the interests of the teachers and increasing iheir prestige professionally.
4. To effect greater mutual
understanding and appreciation of each other's teaching
problems among teachers of
mathematics ai ihe secondary
school and college levels.
Six semester hours of graduate credit in mathematics are
given to those attending the Institute. The credit applies at
CMU on the M.A. degree in the
curriculum, "Teaching Mathematics in the Secondary
School."
The courses which are taken
by all participants are Mathematics 501, Modern Algebra,
taught by Dr. Stanley P. Hug-
hart, chairman of the Mathematics Department, Sacramento
State College.
Also, Mathematics 511, Topics
in Geometry for Teachers,

science department. Name of
