Graduate assistants are often called upon to explain the intricacies of their subject matter. An attentive audience, even of only one, sometimes serves as their best reward. Even in science, women still do the dishes! Flasks, test tubes and heakers go into the suds in anticipation of research and experimentation which will make use of them. Chemistr and P ysics It is generally known that there is an acute shortage of technically trained personnel and that future scien- Dr. Harold T. Baker Associate Professor vt E tilic advancements will be seriously curtailed unless a greater number of our youth pursue science careers. What is not recognized, however, is that American womanhood represents a virtually untapped reservoir of scientific potential. Furthermore, all too few realize that the technical training of our nation's women is an investment in National Defense. Texas Woman's University, however, is cognizant of these facts and in its endeavor to utilize and develop this potential has created a strong physical science program. The departments are well equipped with modern facilities and instrumentation, such as: radiation counters, infrared spectrometer, vapor fractometer, electrotitrimeter, grating spectograph, ultra-violet spectrophotometer and numerous others. The presence of a neutron source in the departments is also indicative of the newer emphasis in these disciplines. In the past few years a strong graduate program has evolved in chemistry and one may pursue graduate work in analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and bio-or radio-chemistry. The department has been the recipient of several grants from the Robert A. Welch Foundation of Houston to support its research program. Undergraduate research has not been neglected and grants from the National Science Foundation have been received to support this phase of the students' training. A research program in physics is now evolving. Our departments are recognized by outside agencies as being well-staffed by competent scientists and we1l-equip- ped with modern instruments. For example, the Department of Chemistry has been accredited by the American Chemical Society and the University has been accepted by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies as its 39th member. It is indeed signiiicant that TWU is the only woman's institution achieving this latter recognition. -Dr. Robert W. Higgins Dr. Robert Wiley Miss Lynne Hardin Higgins Dr. Helen A.

-if Shorthand and typed transcription serve as previews as majors in the Business and Economics Department will later learn the techniques of operating complicated business machines. The hasics they learn in he- ginning typing, shorthand and economics classes will he strengthened through their studies in more advanced courses. Business and Economics The career field in Business has many advantages to the young woman with the specialized training and the cultural background offered by Texas Woman's University and the Department of Business and Economics. The Department of Business and Economics is in a position to dramatize the changing needs in higher educa- tion for women and to lead in providing for them. A well trained, competent faculty is the foundation on which our training in business is based. From the moment the student begins her university work she is under the supervision of one of the members of the faculty in the Department. Emphasis is placed on the development of independent thinking through classroom discussion and written and oral presentation. The Department operates on the assumption that liberal and professional studies go hand in hand in the undergraduate program because each can benefit from the other. The problem is to see that all courses are taught in the liberal spirit in the context of their place in our culture. The skills which the program develops are the basis for effective participation and eventual leadership in business, the community, and the home. -DR. T. L. MORRISON Mr. Iohn Murray Dr. T. L.

English The reading room of Sigma Tau Delta, honorary English organization, houses a student-painted mural depicting various characters from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and hooks of interest to both majors and non- maiors in the English department. Literature is probably the oldest of the arts, and writing one of the most widely useful skills in the world, for language underlies every human activity. The study of English embraces all the cultural disciplines: psychology, his- tory, philosophy, the sciences, and in turn is enriched by them. Anyone who wishes to transmit ideas to others must be able to express himself clearly and accurately. And anyone who wishes to enlarge his mental and spiritual horizons must share the recorded experiences of others. Careers that develop directly from a major in English include not only the basic areas of teaching and writing, but innumerable variants within these areas as well. It is not implied that a college student automatically qualifies for any or all of these opportunities by choosing English as a major. Graduate work and an apprenticeship are required in almost all fields today. But, if the student plans her college work with one of these possibilities in mind, she can so build electives around her English major as to make herself eligible for one of many rewarding careers.
