Lewis Hail. These are needed. Empty Chem. Aug. College of Chemistry The School of Chemistry, one of the more technical and specialized majors, is housed in several buildings on the section of the campus, including one of the oldest on campus. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering students can be found anywhere from the Freshman Chemistry and the Chemistry Auditorium to the more advanced Low Temperature Laboratory as well as in Lewis and Gilman Halls. Chemistry as a well-established science is a basic for many fields outside this school itself. Premed, dental and dental hygiene, nutrition, and nursing majors all must have at least Chemistry I A as a foundation for their own field of study.

Mrs. Deuel in Crim. Office. Examining fibers with microscope. School of Criminology Although there was much discussion this year as to whether the School of Criminology should remain with the University of California or whether the field should be eliminated from the curriculum, it is still with us. Many careers are open to the criminology major including police lab work, institutional work, policeman or woman, and work with the California Youth Authority. The department is divided into three for specialization—law enforcement, correction and criminalistics. The School of Criminology is comparatively small and is a close and unified group. Field trips to San Quentin each semester and interesting field projects and crime studies highlight the year. Lambda Alpha Epsilon, the National Law Enforcement Fraternity, holds lectures and social activities which are interesting as well as enjoyable to the members. The criminology office is located in T-2 and with classes in Haviland, Cal Hall and LeConte the majors are spread all over campus—the better to observe the students! Tracing evidence by camera. Recording latent fingerprints. Looking for materials in AAE library.

Optometry and more lab. Lounge. School of Optometry The Optometry Building, one of the only ones on campus with its own lounge where optometry students gather, houses the School of Optometry and the clinic. So popular is this clinic that it is necessary to wait, sometimes as long as a month, to make an appointment. The Optometry students learn to examine eyes, dispense glasses, and even fit contacts in their classes, and they practice their newly learned trade on the unsuspecting public. In order to insure that the students can explain contact lenses to and understand the problems of the patient, this year for the first time the graduate optometry students were given a pair of contacts which they had to fit to themselves. Each year ' s class is an integral unit, working and attending classes together. Every student joins the University of Optometric Association which has both social and functions. The UCOA sponsors a wives ' club which offers lectures to explain the principles of optometry to the wives of the students. The optometry students are interested in the public seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. The Dispensary. The Refractory.
