Notwithstandins its massiveness and impressive style, the Science building is nonetheless the source of some of the foulest odors ever to plague students and faculty. Progress, however, must not be impeded, and so as smells continue, so, too, does learning. The science building itself, is a labyrinth of lecture rooms, halls, laboratories. On the south end is the Pharmacy department ' s stronghold, on the north end physics and natural sciences, and on the top floor, cages of mice, dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and the sought- after meat room. « Dder ■:r 1! :m Jpp?

ENGINEERING When the College of Engineering moved its offices and paraphernalia to new quarters, it moved the future of modern laboratory and classroom work at S.C. to an enviable position among national engineering institu- tions. In the fields of electrical, chemical, civil, mechanical and petroleum engineering, students and faculty members are increasing the scope of intensive study. Engineering enthusiasts broke a social precedent this year by inaugurating a program of highly successful informal dance mixers in the Student Lounge. Exceptional students in engineering are awarded membership in Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu, honorary scholastic fraternities. Dr. Robert E. Vivian served as Acting Dean during the past year.

Olson Philip Libby GOVERNMENT Names of students working under the banner of the School of Govern- ment may well be the names that will find their way onto election ballots in future campaigns, for it is the task of training men and women for careers in public life that this department has taken upon itself. Regular courses are offered on the campus, and an extensive program of study is offered in the late afternoon and evening classes of University College. The past year has found the School of Government rapidly increasing its scope and gaining an enviable reputation among its national colleagues. Newest course to be given in regular sessions began in February — training in police investigation under the direction of federal officers. John McDiarmid John Pfiffner
