24 ! Science To most of us, the science building conjures up thoughts of smoking test tubes filled with strange chemical liquids bubbling above bunsen bur- ners while earnest figures in white coats hover over them. The scent of assorted chemicals and acids lingers in the corners of the halls of the sci- ence building. We expect to see keen- eyed, dedicated scientists lecturing small groups of FBAAPA ffuture brains and assorted physicians of Americaj. A few of these there are, of course, in classes but there are also numerous others of the OS variety fordinary studentj who take science courses because it is required for a degree and who labor over every expe- riment with expectancy, never sure whether the experiment will end suc- cessfully or with an odorous puff of smoke. JCJC has a very fine science depart- ment. Students leaving JC do as well if not better than students who started in a four-year institution. Degrees or courses beginning a degree program are offered in agriculture, computer science, engineering, forestry, pre- dentistry, pre-medicine, medical tech- nology, pre-nursing, physical therapy, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary medi- cine, and general science. Among the scholarships offered to help science students are the M. P. Bush Science Scholarship, the E. W. Young Physics Award, the Maurice Stringer Jr. Chemistry Award, the Jones County Medical Auxiliary Schol- arship Award, and the Hazel Bush Scholarship for nursing students. Also, students are hired as assistants in the different labs. Labs are well-supervised and because of this, JC has had no acci- dents. There are many interesting experiments which are conducted consisting of dissections, and others such as one called chromatography, a technique used to separate the colors to see if they are made up of one color or a combination of colors. Another interesting experiment is the air track which demonstrates velocity, acceler- ation, and momentum concepts. The teachers of both science and math departments, both of which are in the same division, are highly quali- fied and dedicated. Students find themselves with a solid background in these fields when they go on to senior colleges. A I moth tl: science 2 perplexed students A if if A 1' ' K 5 .
