If you ' re in one of any of the other pre-class , pre-dental, nursing, or technician, you will find some of the most thorough and beneficial courses on the campus in the department which houses itself on the third floor of LeConte behind the myriads of showcases, color diagrams, and odors of formaldehyde.

Whether you ' re hunting a few credits just to fill in the required lab credits or whether you ' re a future Mayo surgeon, more than likely you can find suitable accommodations in the Biology depart- ment — anyway over 1,300 did this year. Almost any hour of the day or night you may hear Dr. Hoy ' s methodical lecture in the big amphitheater room of LeConte, or hear Dr. Penny talking down his pipestem concerning some of the intricacies of local fauna or flora. If you ' re serious enough, you may take a major in Biology, a double major in Biology or Chemistry or any one of the three-legged courses mapped out for pre-meds. Most of them now take their degree as DOGFISH AND TWO HOURS . ■ : ■

Of course, physics is an un- fortunate requirement for engineers, and in the B.S. degree — if you choose physics. Almost any after- noon, along on the Pickens street side of Sloane college, you can hear a lecture, certainly loud enough to catch initial interest — and there is no charge for stopping. Herein, are future pharmacists, pre-meds, and engineers being given the second or third de- gree in Physics 11 or 12. Few As ever saunter forth from the department because not many A students enter therein. Seriously, no one course or courses are as closely related to our present frame of reference in the scientific world as is physics, one of the proud but penitent forbears of the atomic age.
