David Washburn, lab assistant, helps Douglas Oelke in his examination of the beating heart of the frog. Janet Landes and David Langelett find their task very interesting. FROGS HELP TOO . . Nobody can say that frogs make no contribution to the world. They are certainly an instrument to a lot of knowledge to Bethel students. Dissection of frogs and other small members of the animal kingdom leads biology and zoology students to an understanding of the human circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems. Botany students arc able to do much of their observation of plants at the Como Park Conservatory. Instructor Russell Johnson also enthusiastically directs class field trips. W.

M.A. Chemistry Department Chemistry L SCIENCE REQUIREMENT FOR A DEGREE Although Bethel does not yet offer a major in science, and most of the science courses offered are lower division, the department does fulfill its aim of giving the entire student body a general knowledge of the field. The majority of students take biology to meet the science requirement. However, students interested in science may take more advanced courses. 22

FREQUENTLY SELECTED ROYAL F. BLOOM. M.A. Head of Psychology Department Psychology, Education SWAN A. ENGWALL. M.A. Psychology Department Psychology, Philosophy Psychology is one of the most often chosen fields for major work at Bethel. Although this is only a two-instructor department, fourteen psychology courses are offered during the year. As the school expands, more education courses will be added. This addition would reduce the number of transfers to other schools to obtain the desired credits in education. Psychology classes are assigned special case studies for a little research work. This necessitates use of the librarys facilities—especially the night before the report is due.
