It is, however, what an increasing number of Biology majors are liable to come across as they enter the complex areas of microtechnique and bacteriology. To help the students get into their desired profession Dr. Selle and Dr. Field aim to keep their students up on latest information and medical schools. The Department's record is good: In 1951-52, Dr. Selle reports 26 students applied, nme accepted By February, six had been accepted to the USC, UCLA, Berkeley, and George Washington medical schools. Dr Selle, f,ll3ll'1T1Hl'l, claims the Department is also contributing to the college in other ways. It cooperates with other sciences in training Pre-Medsg it trains Biology majors, and offers Biology 30, a required course for all students. By the record, it appears as though Dr. Selle is succeeding in ukeeping the Department from becoming fossilizedf' ,. -3 Q r1,r--r--a'::,-i-g..,v3,39 -R ur -bv '- 'lQ,,rQ-:Liv '3 Eggs- g-gl Q n .

I . lLZP l'Ek lx: HE l TRY flfor many a student, Chemistry is the realization of one's childhood dreams, and it has often changed a hobby into a pro esston. Most of the forty Chemistry majors will enter industry. Since there are more openings than there are applicants, pro- fessors have been interested in promoting Chemistry as a major. .ln teaching the industrial approach, the Department hopes to accomplish two things: Cll Because of the industrial experience of its professors, the Department can present to students a practical foundation of fresh material. f2l The industrial approach serves in a job-training capacity. It enables students to secure summer employment related to their major, and provides permanent employment for graduating seniors. As an ofliccr of the American Chemical Society, Chairman Dr. L. Reed Brantley has been doing research on the Naval project dealing with aluminum at Oxy, and investigating the field of Hipolyrner Chemistry, the chemistry of plastics. Associate Professor Dr. Lambert is working on a research project on Positive Halogeus. Because of this project, Oxy inherited a polarogruph, purchased by the research corporation grant, valued at EBl,000. ln addition to his work at Occidental, Assistant Professor Dr. Robert Winans is probing the field of Fatty Acids. row 1: Dr. Brantley, Dr. Lambert. 1: Dr. Selle. row 2: Mr. Poindexter, Dr. Field. row 3: Dr. McMenumin. row 2: Dr. Winans.

This was headed hy Dr. Kenneth Kurtz. Dr. Kurtz has also spent three summers in the compilation of his 1,000-title bibliography of Southwestern lit.erature. lmportant hooks dealing with different geographical areas in various ways of life of the American South- west were used in his extensive research. Dr. Kenneth Oliver, chairman of the Depart- ment, has been off campus this spring, work- ing on a study of graduate education. Also off campus this year was Mr. Marvin, who is engaged in a Ford Fellowship study of com- it munications programs in Freshman English classes. Professor Croissant has been active in arranging for the shipment of magazines to foreign countries. lt is a project designed to increase the knowledge of America and her way of life to the rest of the world, I
