BE pro-registration interest is any indicator, the course, taught by Professor Troy Thomas, appears to be an overwhelming favorite. The course is scheduled to meet Monday and Wednesday during sth and 6th periods, although students are expected to allow themselves free time to utilize the facilities of the photography lab. Thomas described the course as the “practice of photography”, with the aim of the course being to allow students to explore photo graphy as an aesthetic and socially significant medium, with an emphasis on the use of photography within the fields of journalism and the fine arts. “Photojournalism at its best is synonymous with photography as a fine art,” Thomas said. The course will also deal with the practical aspects of black and white photography, such as shooting, developing, minting and mounting. Thomas plans to expose the students to photography at its best, by showing great photo graphs of the past and present There will also be weekly group sessions in which time will be allowed for group discussion and criticism of student photographs. According to Thomas, three 35mm cameras and three 120 mm cameras will be available for student use. The lab will also provide chemicals and enlargers. E.R.A. May two Now members from the Capitol Campus chapter rode the ERA Freedom Tain to join a national ERA rally in Springfield, Illinois. According to the New York Times about 8,000 supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment from 30 states met in Illinois’ state capitol. It was an excellent opportunity to meet women and men from all over the country and to view a social movement in action. The Equal Rights Amend ment is supported by many national, state and local organizations including: Amen ican Jewish Congress, Council for Christian Social Action, St Joan’s Alliance of Catholic Women, National Association of Negro Business and Profes sional Women, General Feder ation of Women’s Clubs, National Organization for Women, National Federation of Business and Professional Women, and many AFL-CIO unions. Four more states are needed before the E.R.A. can become the 27th amendment And until that time the passage of the E.R.A. will be a primary objective both nationally and locally.
