rf 1-.tj 'i i 'W V' f i. .Q - w research. Some faculty members are even known around the world. Besides having papers and books published, they are involved as heads of seminars in many of the top schools fe.g., Cornell Medical Schoolj. High school students interested in the field as a major can come under the supervision of Rider's faculty. Sci- ence courses, on a college level, are offered to a select few during both summer sessions. ln addition, Rider is frequently called by these bud- ding scientists whenever bugs, equipment, etc. is des- parately needed for their various secondary projects. The Science Department further sponsors a state sci- ence day each spring in which high school students compete against each other on a Saturday morning by taking exams. But the faculty aren't the only scientists at Rider. Students majoring in various aspects of science also play a big role. They spend from 8-10 hours daily work- ing on projects, and not only during ISP. Putting in so many hours-seven days a week-en- ables the student to become familiar with his instruc- tors. According to Dr. James Carlson, Chairman of the Biology Department, The faculty is here all the time, in- cluding weekends. Students are encouraged to come in and do work whenever they want. We thus get to know each other on a very informal basis. The Biology Department makes it a point to involve students in the hiring of new faculty members. Four or five students are given the opportunity to meet and in- terview the new candidates alone for an hour and then vote for the ones they would like to be hired. It has worked out, in the past, because the candidates that the students felt were capable for the job were the very ones that the faculty had chosen. Most of the candi- dates also liked to see the students participate in the decision-making process. In most cases, it was the first time they had ever seen it done. The Biology Club, known as Tri-Beta, is equally as ac- tive. Tri-Beta holds weekly meetings and has sponsored guest speakers. Dr. Carlson noted that it was quite ac- tive in sponsoring trips to industrial research labs and graduates school labs. Recently Tri-Beta has been on an ecology kick and is trying to set up a nature study in the woods behind the College campus to be used for research and, even- tually, to be opened to the entire community. There is also the play side to the scientist at Rider, too. Faculty members play students daily at basketball in the gym during the lunch hour. Science majors have two picnics a year also, one in the fall and one in the spring, at which the faculty chal- lenges and usually defeats the students in a game of softball. And there are always the graduating seniors, major- ing in biology, who get invited up to Dr. Carlson's cot- tage in the Poconos for a beer, steak and weekend. 87

He has surrendered to the fact that it takes long, dedicated hours of work and research. He is all of this and more. He is a scien- tist at Ftider. Faculty members in the Science Department are kept extremely busy. They teach large lecture sessions to non-science majors and small laboratory sessions to science majors. Students needing help with their inde- pendent research projects can always find a professor on weekends, as well as early and late during the week. r at 1 Besides their teaching and advisory functions, faculty members spend much time writing to the government for grants for equipment and investigative projects. Each semester they also order and read-whenever time permits-journals for both themselves and their students to use as reference. Science professors frequently attend workshops so they can keep abreast of the latest scientific devel- opments. During vacations some teachers go on speak- ing tours to help sell Rider College to other prospective science students, while others are busy conducting V1 - J, +92 . . wg t n I --.....,., -14 86 :Yi il .D 1 KF- '5 1, ,.., symrff:
