10 PRESENTING: Six New .Faces in Home Economics by Mary McKennan, H. Jl. 4 T he Iowa Homemaker is proud to introduce six of the new members of the Home Economics faculty. Several are new to the Iowa State cam-pus; others have held graduate appointments here. Miss MARY BEELER finished a two-year ap-pointment as teaching assistant in the Institu-tion Management Department this summer. She was asked to report her research findings- a study of academic and experience qualifications for school lunch supervisors- at the annual convention of the American School Food Ser-vice Association in Denver, Colorado. Miss Bee-ler, whose interests range from stereo photogra-phy to sports cars, is in charge of the Institution Management Tearoom this year. Returning to the Foods and Nutrition teach-ing staff after two years of research and study leading to a Ph.D. degree in nutrition , Miss MAXINE ARMSTRONG is teaching Intro-ductory Nutrition, Community Nutrition, and Diet Therapy. These classes formerly were taught by Miss Marian Moore, who has been appointed Head of the Foods and Nutrition De-partment at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia . Miss Armstrong served as dietician in a U.S. Army hospital in Japan for one year, and she worked several years in the field of Public Health Nutrition. At the University of Ne-braska, Miss Armstrong worked with Dr. Ruth Leverton, assistant director of the Home Eco-nomics Institute, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. She recently completed a study of teenage nu-trition, surveying factors which influence the eating habits of adolescent girls. She hopes to do further research in the area of nutrition educa-tion. THE IowA HoMEMAKER A 1961 graduate of Iowa State, Miss CARO-LINE FISHER has joined the staff as instructor in Foods and Nutrition 208 and Experimental Foods. Miss Fisher, a native of West Virginia, is a sports enthusiast, and for six years, she trained and exhibited saddle-horses. Her pres-ent assignment calls for full-time teaching, but she plans to begin work towards a master's de-gree soon. RONALD FENIMORE served two years as Coordinator and Art Consultant in Art Educa-tion for the Des Moines Public Schools. He taught art in both elementary and secondary schools after graduating from Drake University inl957. Mr. Fenimore not only plays softball with an organized league in Des Moines, occupies a po-sition on a basketball team, and plays golf "ev-ery chance I get," but he also operates a farm southwest of Des Moines. Mr. Fenimore is teaching Fashion Illustration and Drawing this quarter. Plans for further study include consideration of the place of fab-ric and textile design in the total art curricu-lum. Miss JUDITH NEEDHAM received her M.A. degree from the University of Minnesota this year, and joined the Home Economics staff this fall as instructor in House Planning and Interior Design. Miss Needham graduated from Iowa State in 1959, majoring in applied art. Originally from Chicago, her home is presently in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Measuring skill in interpersonal relationships was Mrs. ELLEN CHAMPOUX's research topic for her pending Ed.D. degree. Before coming to Iowa State, she studied at six different colleges and universities in Arizona, Oregon, California and Pennsylvania; worked as a book-keeper for several years; and taught homemak-ing classes in Arizona secondary schools. Her home was originally Scottsdale, Arizona; but her studies, camping and fishing trips, and an interest in historic sites- especially in the Southwest- have provided opportunities for extensive travel. Mrs. Champoux will teach classes in education methods and evaluation procedures. Plans for further study include the determination of teacher effectiveness. She is a golf enthusiast, as well as being particularly in-terested in weaving and textile design. - More next month -OCTOBER, 1961 11
