DIVISION IV NATURAL SCIENCE The natural science department provides a wide variety of oppor- tunities for learning. Some of the facilities and programs offered to students are quite unique, such as the highly successful method of self-instruction devised by Dr. Don- ald Chittick. This non-lecture, lab- oriented instruction allows chem- istry students to learn at their own rate, and even to finish the term ' s work in advance. Among the cur- riculum expansions in this division is the new earth science sequence which includes study in geology, meteorology, and astronomy. This course was offered for the first time this year and was met with great enthusiasm. Another facet of this division is the opportunity for student teaching in mathematics and biology. The home economics department launched a new program for prac- tical experience. Five girls live in an apartment, and are responsible for the complete operation of their household and they are graded on efficiency and management. Dr. Donald Chittick, chemistry professor, demonstrates lab techniques. Ed Fields explores the micro world of plants. Dr. Voth, Jim Pike, and Ron Hays watch the birds go by in the ornithology lab. 16 Academics
