Humanities
By Mike Benner
For those students who
need electives, the Humanities
Department will be offering
studio-arts courses during
Spring term, according to Dr.
Robert Graham, head of the
Humanities Department.
"I think as the only
department on campus prima
rily concerned with the arts, we
have to exert more leadership
in the visual arts areas and gain
more visability in our depart
ment, the campus and the
community," Dr. Graham said.
Some of the courses offered
this spring are color photogra
phy and advanced pottery. A
complete list can be found in
the master schedule.
Because of the present
enrollment in art classes with
about sixty-five students at
tending Saturday classes, and
present enrollment showing a
favorable increase, more cours
es will be added. Oil painting,
graphics and films are planned
for future terms.

departments.
Topics included different
types of surveys; population;
income and educational voting
rights; health; and travel.
Other topics were on mathe
matical statistic activities,
programming and career ac
tivities.
Career opportunities, from
what Ms. Lade understood, are
very bright for mathematical
scientists and statisticians.
Mr. Rick Smith, another
member of the team, added
that, according to the Bureau,
there are opportunities for
non-math science majors.
The bureau employs demo
graphers, social scientists with
statistics backgrounds, econo
mists, business students, and
programmers. According to
another member of the group,
Frederick Espershade, "one
member of the club was offered
a job on the spot as a

programmer."
Entrance to the Bureau is
by Civil Service examination,
but entrants from "our pro
gram here are exempt from the
examination," Dr. Richards
said.
This was the first time
Capitol Campus visited the
Bureau and according to Mr.
Smith, "I left with the
impression that they were very
interested in hiring people from
Capitol Campus." The Bureau
may probably step-up hiring
now, in view of the impending
national census in 1980.
Dr. Richards hopes to
conduct another such tour next
term. Any students or clubs
that may be interested may
contact him in room E-258 for
more details.
Because of the foreign
contracts that the Bureau
handles, Dr. Richards would
like to see foreign students sign
up.

Capitol's
Species
By Roz Gerber
'The college campus library
is a "different species of
library," says Dr. Emerson
Jacob, Associate Librarian at
Capitol Campus.
Mr. Jacob, who has a staff of
16 people (seven professional,
nine clerical, and 23 part-time),
describe the library as different
from the public library because
its collections are highly
specialized and geared to
research-oriented faculty and
students.
"We try to keep on hand
publications that will be helpful
for any instructor's course,"
Jacob stated. It is important, he
explained, that a teacher of a
new course or new speciality of
a familiar subject contact the
library in advance to plan ahead
for the publications need in the
library to supplement this
course. This doesn't always
happen, Jacob said, - and the

Library
instructors are disappointed
when certain books aren't on
hand.
Dr. Jacob, who has been
with the university for six
years, explained the various
microformats (different tech
nological ways of storing
periodicals, books, magazines,
on films and cards) maintained
by the university. Jacob
pointed out that they are
essential because they require
less space, even though some
faculty and students hate to use
them.
Space is the primary
concern of the 10-year-old
library, according to Jacob.
There are 122,000 volumes
crowded into a space for only
100,000 volumes. More student
carrels (stalls for reading) are
needed, too, Jacob added.
Jacob said that the library is
growing, slowly, probably
because of budget cuts in the
last few years.
