Little IQAWMCCL .giienced Mo ogicaf .gzience Dr. D. L. Hopkins, chairman of the Biological Sciences Division, is happy to announce that the reorganization of the biology curriculum for the freshman and sophomore years is now complete. Because this reorganization has meant an increase in courses offered, most of the mem- bers of the department are busy writing text books to fill the new requirements. An increase in en- rollment in the Division has necessitated the build- ing of a new embryology-zoology laboratory, with an added demonstration case facing on the corri- dor. Exhibits in these cases are designed to be both educational and entertaining. The department hopes that through these new courses and facilities they will be better able to help the student appre- ciate and understand the scientific method. Chemistry, Geology, and Mineralogy are the mediums through which the Physical Sciences Department acquaints students at UIC with the physical world that surrounds them, and with the chemical processes of indus- try and of life itself. In the Physical Sciences curricula students attend lectures, perform various laboratory experiments, view novel exhibits, and participate in many interesting field trips. lt is through the department head, Dr. C. R. Meloy, and his twenty-six associate professors that UIC students are given this well-rounded and informative education in the field of Physical Sciences. l l P w f l Row 1: M. Mackin, W.

SA 0,0 OgCl60l CLf0I lQ1f Shop Laboratory courses are designed to provide the student with certain fundamental concepts which can be used or enlarged upon in other more advanced engineering subjects. The objective of basic engineering subjects, as stated by I. S. Kozacka, department head, is to give students sound tools or principles to be used in planning for the manufacture of goods and serv- ices in the mechanical engineering field. ln the courses students attend lectures, perform work and experiments in the laboratories, and take part in many organized trips to manufacturing and power plants under the guidance of well trained and ex- perienced staff members. Although the R.O.T.C. was only or- ganized last semester, it has already taken great strides to make itself known and appreciated among the student body. The R.O.T.C. program includes two classes and one drill per week. The classes deal with care of equipment, tactics, and elementary maneuvers. The aim of the Corps is to provide a group of well-trained men to serve as officers in regular reserve units. Four of its cadets were presented with Chicago Tribune Honor Medals recently. The medals, presented by Phillip Maxwell, are award- ed by the Tribune each year to outstanding cadets in both high school and college units. xx R. Perkins, R. Schroeder, R. Kennedy. I.

EMILY C. CARDEW naming gjclucafion UIC now offers a program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. This curriculum was designed to pro- vide a background of general culture for the prospective nurse. lt stresses a clear understanding of not only the prevention of disease, the development of art and skills necessary for the care of the sick, but it promotes an understanding of the social and psychological problems affecting health. The program, under the direction of Miss Emily C. Cardew, is under the co-ordination of a committee made up of University representatives and faculties of the affiliated schools. x' 'L W X if .cs .Q
