Physics Fundamental Physics is the most popular course in the physics department this year. The course covers the gen- eral laws and mechanics of the universe. This class con- sists of three lectures and two labs per week. A total of eight classes will be offered this year in the Physics department at Rocky Mountain College. Again, these courses cover just about everything related to the field of Physics. — Aaron McDonnell Hurry! I gotta get to class and find out what happended last weekend! ' ' — Sue Arvik Rocky has a very progressive Biology program, thanks to Claire Oakley. — j Jean Lyford Biology The Biology department at Rocky Mountain College offers twel different courses this year. Any one of which will surely cover I interests of anyone thinking about a Biology major or minor. Botany, which is considered one of the harder classes at Rock has a comfortable six students in the class. The class can considered one of the harder classes because of the amount) information covered. For example, the class covers the anatomic physiological, genetic, and evolutionary aspects of plants. This p; ticular course consists of three lectures and one three hour lab week. — Aaron McDonnel 24 J Sciences at Rocky

I enjoy the 15 hours a week I spend in the lab. Just kiddin! — Jim Loughr ie Chemistry This year ' s Chemistry Department is really going strong with courses such as General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry or even Biochemistry. With all these courses offered it is easy to see just how well all aspects of the field of chemistry is covered. With aaproximately 50 students, this year ' s Organic Chemistry class will be studying the classification, syn- thesis, and reaction of compounds which contain carbon. This class has two lectures and four lab periods per week. An expected highlight of this course is having the option of making wine or beer during lab. There ' s always a good turn out for this one! — Aaron McDonnell Sciences at Rocky 25
