=3 |he College of Sci- ences . . . hmmm ... I can think of three words which describe it: dy- namic , diverse, and en- lightening. The most ex- citing thing about it is that it deals with areas that are dynamic; know- ledge in the sciences grows every day. It seems like it is always reaching into the future. The scope of the College of Sciences is huge -- the diversity of the various majors is amazing! They touch on all aspects of life. As part of the college, you are exposed to one o ' r two areas in depth, and to others only to learn gen- eral principles. Hopefully, you can integrate all of them into a meaningful understanding of life and its processes. And for those of us who are curi- ous about why things are the way they are, the College of Sciences offers us the whys and hows. CHERYL BOYNTON Biology Major The most exciting thing about it is that it deals with areas that are dynamic- knowledge in the sciences grows every day. ' s an academic unit of the University, it serves students who are interested in two rather diverse areas: the physical and natural sciences and mathematics and the behavioral sci- ences. It provides for a dimension of life. It is an administrative unit which, with its cre- ative and functional man- agement allows the de- partments to develop and maintain a high level of] autonomy and initiative. It is a community of scholars which. ..broadens one ' s perspectives and creates added awareness of. ..the human dimension of life. unique combination of in- terests in that it brings together the challenges of the hard sciences and the human components of living, stressing the inter- dependence and the re- latedness of the two areas. It is a community of scholars which offers its members a chance for continuous interdisci- plinary reflection in order to broaden their perspec- t ives and create an added awareness of the relation- ships between the physi- cal world and the human Th6 inter-departmental co- operation and involvement, the exclusive concern with undergraduate education and the close ties whicn one is able to develop with students and staff makes it a good and exciting place to work.

WHAT ALUE DO YOU FIND IN the COLLEGE OF ■? It ' s a community kind of thing - both students and faculty with whom I have some common ground. DEAN JOHN B. DRAHMANN I he College of Sci- ence is where I pursue my work. It is where I teach and involve myself in Psychology. It is a com- munity kind of thing -- a group of people -- both students and faculty with whom I have some kind of common ground. We have some basic committment to the detached, objective pursuit of understanding whether it be be of the nature of the physical environment or of human nature. i enjoy my involve- ments in the College of Science, it is a very me sort of place. I really be- lieve that the scientific approach to problems of children growing up (this is my field) has the most to offer in the way of making a better world for them in which they can fulfill themselves and become what they can be.
