J. S. Decker Chemistry WEBSTER'S definition for Chemistry is . .a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of sub- stances, and the transforma- tions they undergof' But it is indeed more than that, for Chemistry is the key that opens the doors of scientific knowl- edge and explains the mysteries involving the building blocks of matter in the universe. Where water, fire, earth, and air were once assumed to be the only elements, Chemistry has dis- covered 103 individual ele- ments. Nlost studies are related to Chemistry, among them - Biology, Nledicine, Agriculture, Geology, Oceanography, and Dentistry. Nlan's ability to har- ness nature's intricate re- sources will benefit all human- ity, but first he must discover the reasons and natural laws which govern the properties of which all matter is composed.

Without organized trade, countries might perish, people might starve, and nature might once again assume control. Business is divided into three main components-Manage- ment, Labor, and Capital. These components are so interrelated that one is of limited value without the other two. Few en- terprises can be undertaken without capital, labor cannot produce effectively without properly trained management, maximum output cannot be maintained without efficient la- bor. Among the specialized fields involved in successful en- terprise are: accounting, man- agement, business law, insur- ance, real estate, marketing research and development, sec- retarial skills, salesmanship, and business machine training. Also included is the rapidly growing field of data processing and related computer-program- ming training courses. A highly significant percentage of stu- dents are enrolled in the Phoe- nix College Business Curricu- lum. This is indicative of the importance and the interest in this career field. The Business Department attempts to develop a strong foundation and under- standing for students continu- ing their studies after gradua- tion. The key opening the execu- tive doors and leading into the administrative offices of the world is available only to those men and women qualified to as- sume the responsibility to keep the world going 'round.

Similarly, a student who plans his college career without first determining which courses will be most ben- eficial to him might expend maximum effort without realiz- ing maximum gain. Guidance, from experienced counselors, is available to all students to help them decide which curriculum will be of greatest value to them for present needs, for continued programs in a four-year institu- tion, and for future growth. The Counselors also administer both vocational preference and apti- tude tests to determine personal abilities and qualifications which should be considered when choosing a career field. J. S. Nichol
