15 The Land of Israel was a spring term course taught by Dr. Adolf Hansen of the department of philosophy and religion. The journey to Israel was termed by Dr. Hansen “a demanding trip designed especially for students. Since time ‘on tour’ was so limited (eleven days) there were fewer concessions to the more relaxed concept of ‘tourism.’ Thus each day was usually a twelve-hour stint from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.” The main purpose of the trip, according to Dr. Hansen, was to relate the land to the Bible and to the history of the country. The group stopped in Greece on the way, but the formal itinerary began in Israel in the vicinity of Tel Aviv and con- tinued north along the coast, all the way to the Lebanese border, visiting such ar- cheological sites as Caesarea and Mount Carmel, as well as contemporary cities such as Haifa along the way. Considerable time was spent in visiting sites of biblical interest in northern Galilee, such as Nazareth, Caesarea Philippi and

In addition to reading biblical narratives at the ap- propriate sites, each student had prepared in advance a report on various sites which was read to the group upon reaching that location.

Part of the group also flew from that point to the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula to visit the traditional site where Moses received the Ten Commandments. After the group left Eilat, many sites were visited along the way to Jerusalem, such as Avdat and Beersheba. The final three days were spent in the Jerusalem area, including visits to Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives and many other places familiar to students of the Bible. The land was studied from many viewpoints: historically, geologically, ar- cheologically, biblically, politically, and existentially. Besides having familiarized themselves with the area prior to the trip, through many hundreds of slides, maps and research, the group had the benefit of an excellent Israeli historian who travel- ed with them throughout the entire itinerary.

I most beautiful, most exciting, most e\ poetic, and the most sublime of all ac- tivities.” This quote by Fynn, author of “Mister God, This Is Anna,” may well express some of the feelings of Kenneth Sidebottom, professor of mathematics at Indiana Central University. Ken Sidebottom, a 1942 Indiana Cen- tral graduate, began teaching here in December of 1945, and has been a facul- ty member longer than anyone presently teaching. Professor Sidebottom likes to teach math because it is easy- for him. He sees it as such a useful subject, since it is the basis for so many job opportunities. And then, there is the beauty in it. IC to USAF to IC After his graduation from Indiana Central, he joined the United States Air Force and was assigned to the Air Transport Command. He was trained in radar at both MIT and Harvard Universities. In 1944 he was sent to In- dia to help with the navigation of U.S. planes over “the hump” in the Himalayan Mountains. However, an eye problem led to his separation from the Air Force in September of 1945. He was employed for a short time with the P.R. Mallory Company, but his eye continued to be a problem, so he left that company to become a member of the faculty at In- diana Central.
