Biolog by J onathan Dong iology, the study of life in all of its complexities and manifestations, has attracted many students to this intri- and fascinating area of study. Few sciences have contributed more to the philo- sophical and physical basis of contemporary society than biology has. Careers in the field are numerous and cover a broad scope of ideas. Among the topics explored is taxonomy, an endeavor to discover, describe and arrange in orderly groups all the different varieties of plants and animals that exist. The major purpose of this science is not to discover new forms, but to develop classifi- cation systems that focus on relationships and possible ancestries of different organ- isms. Another area of scope is anatomy. Biolo- gists try to understand structures of organ- isms, as in the science of embryology which studies the growth and development of the organism. Ecology, still another scope ofthe life science, studies the interaction of organ- isms with each other and with their environ- ment. A major contribution of biology has been the study of the evolution of man. Students of biology study theories of Charles Darwin and Chivalier de Lemark, both who de- veloped ideas that are studied carefully and debated over by many biologists. guing E 5 3 Pictured: Top: Phi Sigma: Front-Heather Lee, Bev Pierson, Chair, Susan W.

hemi tr f Jonathan Dong hemistry is the science of the nature of matter and its transformations. Its importance has been recognized by any industries and offers a wide variety of .reer options. Types of work include aching, research, development, or control ark in one of six fields: analytical chemis- y, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and iemical engineering. Industry has employed most chemists. arge research and development laborator- 5 are supported by manufacturing plants in hich chemists develop new products, im- ove existing products, and develop and iprove manufacturing processes. Chemists can also find careers in govern- ent-supported research programs. These ograms focus on the fields of medicine, arfare, space, and agriculture. Chemistry achers are also being sought as the study of iemistry is becoming increasingly more lportant.
