Engineering With the exception of hard-working engineers armed with briefcases, slide rules sheathed in holsters, etc., many Cal students are unfamiliar with the scenes of the northeastern end of campus. Here one will find the University ' s highly ranked College of Engineering which provides an excellent program for its students. Becoming familiar with various machines and instruments is an important phase of an engineer ' s training. For example, a glimpse of an Electrical Engineering machine lab would reveal some motors actually running, a student oscillating at 60 cycles per second with his fingers stuck in the socket, and occasional puffs of smoke indicating more damaged equipment. Each department, through its respective student society presents a variety of field trips which give the student an to see practical applications of theories he has studied. The highlight of the engineering calendar is Engineering Week End, which guest speakers, more field trips, and a special issue of the college ' s own magazine The Engineer.

Dwinelle Hall TOP: Life Sciences Building BOTTOM: L S Office —210 Ad. Building Letters and Science The College of Letters and Science consists of the many people whose majors are such subjects as English, Psychology, Zoology, etc. The usual hangouts for these students are Wheeler Hall, Dwinelle Hall, the Life Sciences Building, the L S Office (better known as the Problem Center ) —or between classes in the central meeting spot, Dwinelle Plaza. The College of L S, since it covers such a broad range of courses and majors, is noted for its large lecture classes on the one hand and its small sections on the other. Also a of L S is the now dying student who says My major is General Curric. Unfortunately, this specie of student will no longer he permitted to appear on the Cal campus after this year.

Chemistry No matter where you go, you ' ll find the School of Chemistry making its home in the oldest building on campus! Because of its nature as an old and established study, and the necessity of a separate building to house and apparatus, Chem has that distinction at Cal . . . but even has a new building or so of its own. Lewis Hall, Gilman Hall, the Low-Temperature Lab and the Freshman Chem Lab comprise the layout within which Chemistry and Chemical Engineering students work. Chem majors maintain they ' re no different from anybody else . . . just have talents in a different direction! Among the many students in the school, few are girls. Careers ahead for students in this field include : for the chemist —basic research, developmental research with firms, and teaching; for the chemical engineer—research management, production, control work. Adding special flavor to their location the pie man arrives on selected to sell his wares while labs empty into the courtyard for refreshment. The Pie Sales.
