Pre-Medical PLANETARIUM Director: John Sohl, SL 204A Telephone: 626-7907 The Planetarium, featuring a 30-foot hemispherical dome, is used for instruction in undergraduate astronomy classes. It is also a science education facility featuring programs of interest to elementary students, secondary students, and the general public. For the general public, a program featuring some topic of current interest in astronomy is given one evening a week. Any teacher wishing instructional materials or wanting to set up an appointment for a class visit should contact the Director of the Planetarium, or the Director of the Center for Science Education, 626-6160.

DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY Chair: Eugene G. Bozniak Location: Science Lab, Room SL402M Telephone Contact: Carrie Minnoch 626-6174 Lab Manager: DeVon Ekenstam 626-6175 Professors: Eugene G. Bozniak, Stephen L. Clark, E. LaGrande Hobbs, Cyrus M. McKell; Associate Professor: Suzanne Harley; Assistant Professors: Barbara Wachocki, Dawn Gatherum Description Botany is the science of plant study including the morphology, metabolism, diversity, distribution, systematics, and ecological relationships of all plants. Natural systems are plant-dependent so that a knowledge of plants is basic to their understanding. Such knowledge is especially important today as we find ourselves in a world of rapidly-changing values, technologies and man-nature interactions. Botany is an important adjunct to many professional careers in soil science, horticulture, plant biotechnology, agronomy, food technology, marine biology, environmental science, water resource management, weed control technology, and pure and applied research. Botany offers pre-professional training in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and range management. Student Services Interdisc.
