CHEMISTRY KENNETH W. KRAUS, Ph.D. Associate Professor Chairman Student and faculty involvement is the word from Dr. Kraus, chaiiinan of the Chemistry department. The projects that are worked upon in the department arc done mainly by the students with members of the chem¬ istry staff guiding them. Rev. Robert Dolter and his students are currently working on the study ol properties of styrene compounds, and have issued several publica¬ tions on the subject. Mr. Rculand is working on a project concerning the study of metal tungsten bronzes. In the process he uses x-rays to determine structure, lie also employs the computer at Clarke College to translate his project into a workable reality. Robert P ke, the newest member of the department has already imolved himself in a bio-chemical study concerning the invc‘stigation of mechanisms of aortic calcilication. Dr. Kraus is involved in organic chemistry, and is working in an area of main concern with mechanisms and use of organocadmium reaction. Support from the National Science Foundation has enabled the chemistr ' department to obtain s( eral nc‘w pieces of equipment, such as a new electronic calculator, a new flexowriter, and an automatic writing machine for the computer at Clarke. Data is put into or takcai from the computer tape and written out by the writing machine. A similar process can be accomj:)hslu d on the ' computer in Ic ' vel A Binz Hall. The de ' partme ' nt also plans to purchase an ultra iolc‘t s[;)e ctrophotome ' te r, and a refrigerated centrifuge . RT. REV. GEORGE N. SGHUITE, Ph.D. Professor HF.V. IU)I5FHT j. DOITKH. I’li l).
