I have modified the default contact form by adding the department field to
the general tab and published it. I need to have the existing 150 contacts
use this form and have the field show when people view the listings in the
folder.
 
You need to change the MessageClass on the existing items to point to your new form's class. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this.

You can add the Department field to any view once you add that field to the folder.
