Buxton S, P, Evans IN NEWLY-completed quarters, the MCJCD Data Processing Center houses three classrooms and faculty offices besides the equipment and staff associated with the Center. There are six machine areas, three used primarily for service, and three for educational purposes. There are three main users of the Center. The first is the service activity that supports the Admission and Records oflices of District schools in keeping student records, in grade reporting and in preparing statistics. The second is the service provided for the Oflice of the Vice President for Business Services, in producing and keeping financial records for the District. The third use is the educational environment provided for the Business, Math and Physics Depart- ments. The Business Department Data Processing curriculum is in its fifth year and has two full-time teachers, Mr. Evans and Mr. Buxton. The educational use by the Physics and Math Departments is relatively new, with each department offering one course in programming. This programming knowledge is intended as a tool for the student, to be used to support his Physics, Mathematics or Engineering endeavors. The reputation of the education provided can he judged by the current enrollment iigures which include 159 daytime Data Processing majors and a total of 298 day students enrolled in Data Processing courses offered by the three departments. We feel that through course offerings in Data Processing, we provide an opportunity for a Data Processing education that is outstanding. - C. R. Vaughan C. R. Vaughan 27

Ultimately, every physical or biological change has a chemical interpretation and the basic understanding of chemical phenomenon is the first step on the road to discovery and understanding of new ideas and pro- cesses. Once one realizes a change has occurred in matter, his greatest desire is to interpret that change and measure its magnitude as well as the effect the change has had and will have upon its surroundings. In an age where skill in measurement, observation, interpretation, re- measurement and reinterpretation is vital to the expansion of the frontiers of knowledge, the tools that the Phoenix College Chemistry Department provides create a framework within which the student can achive full aware- ness. The Chemistry Department further seeks to take the student at his present state of educational development, evaluate his past experiences and t.hen build upon that experience to a fuller understanding of the powerful tools and ideas that have been and will be at his disposal. - Jesse S.
