12 Ariel Roth-in charge ofthe biological beehive. Do you find the transfer of molecules in cell membranes or the study of large whales and giant redwoods interesting? lf you do, you have the company of 101 students who are registered as biology majors. The biological sciences department is cur- rently conducting research in schistoso- miasis for the U. S. Public Health Service. Participation in other aspects of research include investigating the habits of animals by using tiuorescent dyes, and trying to revive organisms after they have been frozen. The department's four teachers are respon- sible for 11.413 of the students hours on the campus of AU. The biology laboratories accommodate four hundred fifty-seven ex- perimenting students each week. This year marks the first in which the de- partment otters summer field school study at Rosario Beach, Anacortes, Washington. Q , X,,,f' .1 . 1 '-35:25 ' :iii :izgzoi : 1 ' Q .E - fhgirzi: A31 ,.

The art department, di- rected by Mr. lrvin Althage, offers varied materials and experience to the art student working toward a teaching position or another endeavn or of his choice. The artist works in varied mediums: pen, pencil, crayon, oil, water colors, and in the case of individual projects, even such specialized mediums as fresco and mosaics. Design problems materialize in scale, full-size and when feasible, working models. ln clay modeling and ceramics, the art student designs and molds his own projects. The host of laboratory classes yields two lecture courses, Survey of Art and Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Art. Through these the student traces art from its distant, primitive beginnings to its present state of expression and gains ac- quaintance with the greatest artists and works of the ages. 12
