Bug Pretty Coed
I would go along with them on

interested in this hobby" she

varieties not commonly seen
such as unicorn beetles regal
moths polyphemus moths and
fare butterflies from all over the
United States. She has traveled
and collected bugs from North
Dakota California and Louis-
iana. Photographing Bugs
"We grow plants In our back
yard which attract certain kinds
of Insects. Then we capture them
we put them in special cages to
get them ready to photograph.
"It may taken an hour or two
to get one picture. If you use
an artificial background for
photographing an insect you put
the insect in a jar and place it
in the refrigerator. This shows
him down and you can take his
picture easier. Sometimes you
can Just give him a whiff of
ether.

Kirk Gives Pros and Cons
Of Programmed Teaching
By MARY DELLE HANCE
Part II.
What are the advantages and
disadvantages of programmed
instruction? Ed Kirk assistant
professor of education can assess
both sides of the question.
According to Kirk educators
say that a' good program will
teach 90 of its contents to 90
of the students. In spite of this
claim some disadvantages of
programmed instruction have
been pointed out:
Disadvantages
1. Students complain of bore-
dom. 2. Younger children may
not be able to work independ-
ently. 3. It costs two or three
times as much for a programmed
book as for a standard book. 4.
It takes five to 10 times longer
to develop programmed instruc-
tion materials than standard ma-
terials. These advantages can be com-
pared with advantages includ-
ing: 1. Reduced time for learning.

Total cost of the tour to and
from New York is $1209. Special
arrangements for extended pay-

Students may earn three hours
credit in Bible geography or
Bible and archaeology. Tuition
is at regular college rates. Tak-
ing a course is optional.
Those interested in the tour
may contact cither Dr. Roberts
Box 173 ACC Station or Gay
Travel Service 1226 North 3rd.
2. An individual may proceed at
his own rate. 3 It avoids incor-
rect learning since the program
is arranged to minimize errors
by the student. 4. The teacher is
freed from drill work to prac-
tice the higher skills of teaching.
5. Programs can meet Individual
needs. G. Instruction can go on
in the absence of teacher. 7.
Absences can be adequately
made up. 8. The school can of-
fer a wider course choice with a
limited faculty. 9. The use of
programmed instruction necessi-
tates the use of clearly stated
educational objectives.
In considering this new learn-
ing method Kirk states "Pro-
grammed learning is new. Its
worth is largely untested. Ma-
chines are still regarded as cur-
iosities by many. But the future
belongs to those who are willing
tdfiirperiment"
