 Biology... Biology... Biology... Biology Carol Ann Held “Can I tell you about the surprise quiz?” Frogs — that’s all you remember from Biology, right?? Pin the dead frog down to the tray (Thank God it’s dead!) and zoom into formal dissection procedure. (“I’m not crying — that’s just the Formaldehyde.”) Well, there’s more to Stuyvesant’s Biology Depart- ment than meets the optic nerve! The past four years have brought new life to the department. In 1982, Mr. Plass supplanted Ms. Au Kim as interim department chairperson, and hatched an extended curriculum. In addition to Regents, Honors, and A.P. Biology it in- cludes Bio-Careers programs, such as Vertebrate Zoo- logy and Lab Techniques, as well as Environmental Sci- ence courses. Good news for Freshmen! A new system has evolved which requires all of the paramecium to take Biology instead of Earth Science, Ecology, or Qualatative analy- sis. This leaves more time to take these or other courses in Junior or Senior year. But wait — there’s more! A new elective stemming from students demands is the Westinghouse Research Program, with its own offspring: Journal of Student Sci- ence Research. Environmental science has branched off to include Oceanography and Meteorology. Also, the new Stuyvesant Medical Careers Program allows a nov- el approach to Biology, with independent and full-year classes in Human Physiology, Medical Ethics and Ge- netics, as well as internships at Beth Israel and Cabrini Hospitals, supervised by Ms. Suecoff. A further threat to the amphibian population is the continuing growth of the Biology Faculty. A new sprout in the Department is Dr. Utting, and Ms. Held has put down roots as a permanent member of the staff. The seeds have been planted: expect even greater change in the Department in the years to come. 27 Mitchell Prussman Did 1 give out this hand-out sheet yet? Marianna Reep Cool your jets! Dr. John M. Utting “Well that's the way We pronounce it!”
