Bird watchers seek to identify a specimen they have spotted. Biological Science Changes Introduced In Biology Program In an effort to vitalize biology offerings, ex- tensive changes were introduced In the program. The most significant alteration Included a core of five courses which Is now required of all biol- ogy majors before they begin to specialize. Women have joined the men In the agriculture program. Three coeds were enrolled in agricul- ture courses, and one, Bonnie Brooks, received a degree in the field at spring commencement. Three research programs were carried on by the division of biological science during the year. They included a study of prairie remnants of the central Great Plains, an investigation of phrea- tophyte (a deep-rooted plant which obtains its water from the water table or the layer of soil just above it) vegetation around Cedar Bluffs Reservoir and a mapping of the patterns of this vegetation along the Arkansas River, 14
