Physics Understanding and preparation are the major goals of the Physics Department. Courses offered as part of the major seek to impart a thorough understanding of funda- mental physical phenomena, the ability to treat these phenomena in a mathematical context, and the ability to apply what is learned to the solution of problems. Courses which are generally not considered as part of the major, tend to place less emphasis on mathematics and problem solving and more emphasis on the scientific description of physical phenomena and its historical and cultural im- pact. Chemistry The Chemistry Department has been on the Chemical Society list of approved chemistry de- partments since 1970. This insures the chemistry student of an excellent staff, quality curriculum, and good laboratory and library facilities. Departmental goals are to prepare majors for graduate study, industry, teaching, or admission to professional schools; to provide knowledge of chemistry pertinent to other disciplines; to arouse student interest, respect, and apprecia- tion of a scientific discipline; and to provide a relevant scientific background within a liberal arts education. A good relationship with Argenne National La- boratory in Argonne, Illinois, has been of great value to the department. - rajmmz-km'wulmm- ..

Educ ation Students can obtain certification in Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Special Educa- tion, and Early Childhood Education. The course requirements in each area are different, as students interested in Secondary Education must have an approved minor in addition to their teaching ma- jor. The term in which student teaching is taken nor- mally occurs in the senior year. It. is during this time that our future teachers can practice the tech- niques, and apply the knowledge they have ob- tained in the classroom. Art-Education major, Rubin Busse, begins a day of student teaChing. The Education Department strives to improve communication and quality. . 5mg; 3 ' 'RuccneI-c a H S' mar ; s.

One wonders what nutrients will make a plant grow. Biology The Biological Department. provides instruc- tion leading to careers in biology, medicine, medical technology, dentistry, physical ther- apy, agriculture, forestry, teaching, and other related areas. Some of the activities carried out include practical experience as laboratory assistants, election of students to Student Advisory Board, off-campus interim trips, and support- ing one of the oldest. chapters of the National Honorary Biological Society, Beta.
