Master ol all he surveys Jiisl a little bit more! PHYSICAL EDUCATION Amid sounds of grunts and groans the hoys of I.U. go through their Physical Education exercises, of push- ups, developmental exercise, and wrestling. Among the less strenuous activities, they may participate in such games as speedball, touch football, and volleyball. In early fall or late spring, one may see a group running cross country or going o ' er that tricky obstacle course some ingenious person created. As for the feminine side of the Physical Education department, they too go in for the rough and ready type of exercise such as hockey, speedball, and pushups. Swimming, golf, tennis, and archery are the less vigorous sports. Since a semester ' s work in an indi idual sport, group sport, rhythm section and swimming is required of each girl before graduation, she has a aried program while in school. In the rhythm section we find folk danc- ing, tap dancing, and modern dancing. The modern dance workshoj) group presents a show each year. For three years I.U. has had this emphasized physical education program recpiiring all students who are phys- ically fit to participate. This program was brought into effect at the beginning of the war and will no doidit continue following the war. Five more minutes and it will be time for a coke

An afternoon in the Biology Lab SCIENCE He isn ' t wearing brown gloves; he ' s a chem- istry major, explains the better informed gen- tleman to his companion, remarking on the in- fallible identification of those who purstie that course. He is taking a well-rounded study of the fundamentals of chemistry and related subjects. When his four-year course is completed, he will possess an A.B. degree, as well as extensive abil- ity in chemistry. There are five basic courses offered — organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemis- try, biological chemistry, and analytic chemistry. The student in Arts-Science devotes less than half his time to chemistry. The remainder of his program is composed of courses which give a more balanced, well-rounded education, provid- ing a cultural as well as a professional back- ground. Several courses in this curriculum fulfill the requirements necessary for recommen- dations for assistantships and scholarships in graduate work. The student who desires a fuller knowledge of chemistry will take graduate work, carry out a research problein and write a thesis con- cerning his problem. He receives a Doctor of I ' hilosophy degree in Chemistry, when his work is completed. Chemistry students spend many hours working with their glass tubes and Bunsen burners
