As a student at Central Wesleyan Col- lege and the University of Missouri Mr. Dale H. Liese further developed his desire to teach physics. At MjC he instructs both students and teachers in the operation of audio-visual equip- ment. Activities such as fishing hunting boating and reading are important in Mr. Forrest G. Lowe s life. He is a member of the American Physical So- ciety, -American Associates of Physics Teachers, American Institute of Phy- sics, and Missouri Academy of Science. Physics: Necessity Cf A Scientific Age Today physics has applications in many fields. The MAIC Physics Department is well equipped to provide a course that suits the in- dividualis needs. Arts and science and pre-education majors are offered a separate course from pre-medical and pre-dental studentsg still a third course is offered for engineering majors. Future engi- neers are required to have calculus for their class, but arts and science majors need only know a small amount of math for their introductory survey course. In the laboratory, experiments are done with a variety of equipment suited for the performance of the experiment. Since the twentieth century is a scientific age, an appreciation of physics has become almost essential. Conveniences of life, and very often life itself, depend upon the developments of this scientific age. As consumers of newly developed products, students should under- stand the various scientific principles involved, keep informed on current discoveries, recognize reliable information and true scientific progress, and avoid quackery and misleading information.
