S i l '--.NX Scientists Sue King and John David Miller of Quali- tative Analysis class are spending this laboratory period trying to remove lead from cz precipitate. 22 Dr. Wyse discusses with the Foods Preparation class the need for sifting the new pre-sifted flours and whether sifting them again would add to the lightness of their cakes. truction Renovation of the old and aquisition of the new were two central themes in the natural science department this year. Interior renovation of the 545,000 science hall built in 1915 neared completion with an Eli Lilly Grant of almost twice the value of original construction. The formerly darkened halls and classrooms brightened as new paint and the removal of obstructing walls combined to create more adequate laboratories and lecture halls. Perhaps the most interesting aquisition was the controlled climate laboratory. The labora- tory pemiits accurate observation of highly sensitive humidity, temperature and light fac- tors and their effect on the total growth com- plexities of biological species. The new lab, primarily used as a teaching tool, also provided a medium for research, the first project studied was fungi physiology. Radiation experimentation, made possible by an Atomic Energy Commission Grant, originated a plan for all science courses to include some radiation experiments.
