They stress knowledge of sci- entific principles and laws. Courses attempt to pro- vide a good foundation in the natural sciences and to enhance the student's understanding of mathematics and computer science. These courses are taught in the Associates Science Center which contains laboratory space for both the science and computer students. The biology department, chaired by Dr. Howard Trull, boasts 83 years of combined experience. The department is justifiably proud of its record in send- ing students to graduate school. It has nearly a 100070 acceptance rate for students entering graduate school and an 80070 acceptance rate for those desir- ing to go to medical school. Computer science majors are taught using the lat- est in equipment and find themselves well prepared for the job market, according to department chair- man Allen Walker. The Department of Physical Sci- ences, led by Dr. Eugene Hibbett, offers pre-engi- neering in a dual-degree arrangement with five other institutions. Students have been very successful in transferring to these universities. The Department sponsors a scholarship competition each spring for high school students. W

Loden-Daniel Library 144 LIBRARY Loden-Daniel Library serves the students of Freed-Hardeman in many ways. Books, magazines, microfilm, slides, filmstrips, and videos are available for students to use. The library also provides a quiet place for stu- dents to study. This year forty-one students assisted the librarians in Loden-Daniel Library. Each stu- dent assisted in checking out books and sup- plies and locating materials of all kinds. The largest job for student assistants was check- ing out books and clearing the books through the security system. This year, due to the illegal taking of books and magazines from the library, a new security system was installed in the library. 3M offers a security control system called Tattletale. The system uses a device through which one must walk. When materi- als not processed by library personnel for checkout go through these areas, a buzzer sounds. W Workers in the library assist students with checking out books, locating reference materials, and finding reserve items, Student Shelly Latham works in the audiovisual part ol' the library looking at slides for a class.
