i % % % % % ' %m ■ - ' The Botany Building Taylor Hall, Taylor Annex, and the Botany building house the Biological Science Depart- ment. The Bio Sci major may be preparing for an ' of a number of specialties. These include pre-medical or pre-dental work, entomology, bot- an ' , medical and commercial laboratory tech- nique, research biology, and the teaching of biology. Lectures, field trips, and laboratory procedures comprise the schedule of the major of biology. The beginning courses include a study of com- parati e anatomy through laboratory analyses of the in ' ertebrate and vertebrate animals. Ad- anced lab experiments deal with nutrition and the care of mice, guinea pigs, and sheep. Most of the extensive experimentation has been with hamsters. Students of this depait- ment have successfully raised over one thousand hamsters and care daily for approximately one hundred in their own zoo . Somewhat resem- bling rats, but with stubby tails and large pouches in their cheeks, hamsters are ideal for experi- mentation because they are prolific, have no odor, and are susceptible to many diseases of humans. The botany division includes such courses as Plant Physiology, Plant Histology, Plant Ecology, and General Horticulture. Studies are made of microscopic structures, photosynthesis, and en- ironmental factors in plant development. Practical studies are made in the labs of the microbiological quality of milk from local samples. Studies are made on location of rural water sup- plies, stream pollution, sewage disposal, and wa- ter purification. Laboratory procedures are by the standard methods of the American Public Health Association. Extra-curricular activities in the field are car- ried out under the auspices of PHI SIGMA, the National Honorary Biological Fraternity. The honorary is specifically devoted to the stimulation of interest in biological research, and prospec- ti e members must show research purpose. To become a member, a student must complete a research paper which must be accepted by the members. SB f!l«?i!l ra J, y- ■ ' - ■ -■ , ' . — . . •r nrrtMM«Tiriw ... and this is a buttercup.

The Department offers both a complete com- merce and finance course and economics majors in separate fields for those whose interests are in spe- cialization and who do not require the wide gamut of background in the regular C F course. The Commerce and Finance Department is equipped to instruct the student on almost e er le el of eco- nomics, both theoretical and practical. The Society for the Ad ancement of Manage- ment is a student organization whose object it is to study methods of eliminating waste and of increas- ing efficiency in management.
