SCIENCE The Science Department includes a number of pre-professional courses as well as several courses for teacher education majors. These pre-professional courses in- clude pre-med and pre-dental. Teacher education students are re- quired to earn credits in Biological Science Survey, Physical Science, and General Psychology. These are courses which give the student a background to assist him in teaching classes of young students. The Science Hall, located behind Churchill Hall, is where this Department is centered. Science Hall houses a well equipped chemistry laboratory and a physics laboratory. These labs provide science students with a good place for carrying out their experiments. The staff of the Science Department in- cludes Dr. Vllayne VVells, Elliot Mc- Cracken, Lloyd Pennington, Breen Ratter- man, Laurence Butler, and Loren Mes- senger. The Science Department is one of the fastest growing departments at Southern Cregon College. At the upper right: Dr. Wells is shown watching some of his Biology students drawing a dogfish. The two snaps directly below this show Chemistry students at work in the chemistry lub. The shot below shows a number of science students while on a field trip to the Modoc lava Beds.
