Over one million copies of the text have been sold since it first appeared. From the sig-figs. in Gen. Chem. to the rigorous concepts of P- Chem., our main question was al- ways Why us? However, in retro- spect, by majoring in Chemistry, we have acquired knowledge and have developed analytical skills which we know will prove invaluable in our postgraduate careers. ” -Dave Haverstick Marco Luzatti Paul Weldner 25

BIOLOGY What ' s Dr. Klem looking for ? Dr. John C. Weston Professor of Biology Dr. Daniel Klem, Jr. Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. David Much Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Irvin R.

Oplinger Professor of Biology- Professor of Biology Department Head Dr. Robert L. Schaeffer, Jr. Professor of Biology n r. Klem and several Biology students were invited to the Hawk Mountain Conference to present a paper on the Behavior of Migrating Raptors. How ironic that biology means the study of lifel It hasn’t just been the dissections, xylem on the inside, metabolic pathways, microbes, and DNA, but a whole experience that has taught me a certain discipline, open-mindedness and another way of seeing how life can be looked at. ” -Marylou Mallon A new electron microscope was added to the Biology department’s equipment, and a large grant had been given to the Science departments to buy more microscopes and other supplies. A computer terminal has been put in the Biology office, providing students with access to the main terminal.

PHYSICS he Physics department is in Slsl P rocess °f establishing a isSs!) Solid State Physics Laborato- ry. This past spring, Dr. Robert F. Mil- ligan is teaching a course in solid state, the first time such a course has been offered at Muhlenberg. Last summer Dr. Milligan received a grant from the Office of Naval Research to study the electronic structure of transition metal impurities in silicon. The research was conducted in the laboratory of Professor George Wat- kins of the Sherman Fairchild Labora- tory at Lehigh University. This re- search as well as research conducted at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ. in 1981 has resulted in several publica- tions for Dr. Milligan. Dr. John Mac- Carthy has had two recent publica- tions relating to his research in bio- physics. They appear in Chemical Physics Letters, July 1982, p. 89 and J. Chemical Physics, Aug. 1982, p. 77. Also during this academic year, six students were involved in indepen- dent study projects that included digital signal processing, optical Ho- lography, experimental modern phys- ics, and modeling virus replication. ”To study physics is to change your life. You will never look at the world the way it is but will dig deep to explain and improve its faults . -Curtis A. Jack Dr. Walter E. Loy, ir.
