Drosophila Melanogastor and Computers | “Is that one male or female?” “Look that one has red eyes.” “I think the males have hairy legs.” Such dialogue could be heard daily in the science genetics labs. With paint brush in hand, students counted genera- tions of etherized fruit flies in petri dishes. They had to separate the males from the females and recognize mu- tants. Some ambitious students even went as far as studying the chromo- somes of the passive flies. Mrs. Mary Cooke, head of the science department, commented that, “The gen- etics lab with fruit flies is probably one of the most complicated labs done in the science department because of the time it takes and the number of genera- tions involved.” The students, never- theless, seemed to enjoy the labs. Some even found themselves becoming at- tached to the litthe Drosophila Melanogaster. Just across the hall the Math Depart- ment offered a course in which students expanded their knowledge of math- ematics by the use of computers located in the Math Science Center. Students learned “basic” computer language, a communications system in which the computer responds to human com- mands such as “go to” and “find”, to ask the computer the solutions to matrix al- gebra problems, science problems, and a variety of history simulation problems. The computer’s telephone line hook- up to the master computer at the Math Science Center in Henrico Co. runs CHHS’s phone bill higher than normal, but it’s worth it. Math Department Chairman Wesley Childress said, “Students need to know just what computers can and can’t do because whether or not they work di- rectly with the computer, they need to be able to get the fullest use from it without overusing it.” c Viath 20 Math Science
