Chemistry Majors Acquire New Research Lab CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Expansion was the key word for the chemistry program this year and it occurred in several directions. A new physical chemistry-research lab was formed, providing room for indi- vidual proiects, The lab includes a glassblowing bench, which serves several purposes, Among these is the repair of broken glassware, which is often a full time iob. Two new instruments were procured, a gas chromatograph and an ultra violet analyzer, The chromatograph analyzes ex- tremely small samples of liquid gases, which the ultra violet spectrophometer analyzes liquids for concentration, impurity, etc. Coupled with the instruments already possessed, chemistry maiors now have all machines necessary for complete photo- metric analysis, the process of observing the amount of light absorbed by compounds. An open willingness to help a questioning student is shown at all times by professors, and purposeful laboratory work, in coniunction with explanatory lectures, is their goal. is ass B s E ss is is EE ss as - is ss is is is ms ss is ms ss is is E ms ss B -sw is E B ss B, E E ret- T T' Q. 1 .
