The dressing rooms and the shower rooms are operated by Harry Burchell in the Men’s Department and by Gertrude Stallings in the Women’s Department. The Professional Physical Education Department trains men and women majors for teaching or recreation professions. Last year 26 graduated and this year, 22. All graduates of last year were placed in teaching positions or went on for higher degree study. In the athletic competition, Weber State College belongs to the Big Sky Athletic Conference which is composed of Weber State College, Montana University, Montana State College, Idaho University, Idaho State University and Gonzaga University. Games and meets are scheduled with other Utah universities in all sports except football and basketball to supplement the conference schedules. The departments of men’s and women’s physical education conduct an intramural program for the students of the college. Pat Ingoldsby is in charge of the women’s program and Marvin Peterson is head man in the men’s program. All students of Weber State are given an opportunity to participate in athletic competition either in intercollegiate or intramural athletics. The department, in order to give its students additional opportunity to participate in professional activities, sponsors the Physical Education Majors and Minors Club and the dance ganization called (Continued on Orchesis. next orThe page) HANDI-BOOKS NEEDED The Alumni Office at WSC would like all of the alumni to check through their old books and see if you have any of the HandiBooks. If you should find any of these books, would you please send them to the Alumni Office at the college. We need them very badly and are having a hard time locating any of them. The physical sciences consist of the study of the physical universe, the fundamental principles and laws governing all forms of matter, energy and the multitude of interactions that involve matter and energy. A fundamental aspect of all the physical sciences is the accomplishment of a great variety of controlled interactions and the beneficial utilization of the forces, energies, and materials evolved. The physical sciences are also closely related to most other science, including the biological sciences. Most of the processes observed to occur in living organisms are known to be of a chemical or physical nature. Because of the great generalizing and analytical properties of mathematical symbolism, mathematics is an extremely important, if not essential, element of all true sciences. Mathematics has been called both the Language of Science and the Queen of Sciences. The Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences at Weber State College strives to meet the educational needs of two general groups of students:— 1) Those who must unerringly apply the principles and laws of the physical world in their professional activities, such as a variety of engineers, physicists, chemists, geologists, metalurgists, physicians, surgeons, dentiscts, nurses, dieticians, etc., and a variety of researchers in these and other fields. 2) Those who can benefit from an understanding and appreciation of the principles governing the universe in which they live, and especially of the role of the physical sciences in developing the many useful new materials, mechanical conveniences, travel and communication systems, etc., of our modern civilization. The division is composed of the following six departments: Chemistry, Engineering, Geolo gy - Geography, Mathematics, Photography, and Physics. The chairman of the division is H. Paul Huish, who is also a member of the physics department. Departmental faculty are: Chemistry: Mr. Ralph S. Gray, head; Dr. Alva J. Johanson, Mr. Bryant A. Miner, Dr. Spencer L. Seager, Dr. Garth L. Welch. Engineering: Mr. Newel B. Cutler, head; Dr. W. Lee Dickson. Geology-Geography: Dr. Walter R. Buss, head; Dr. Dallas O. Peterson, Mr. Wayne L. Wahlquist. Mathematics: Mr. J. LaMar Jensen, head; Mr. A. Parley Bates, Dr. R. A. Clarke, Mr. Jasper D. Hepworth, Mr. Steven A. Moss, Mr. Dick R. Rogers, Mr. David C. Tolman. Photography: Mr. Fred _ S. Rabe. Physics: Dr. J. Ronald Galli, head; Dr. Gilbert C. Barton, Mr. Richard G. Hills, Mr. H. Paul Huish, Mr. Barry R. Parker. It is anticipated that the division faculty will be enlarged by six or eight members for 1965-66. The division is severely crowded for space in the present quarters, but the construction of a new science building scheduled to begin later this summer and ready for occupancy in 1967 will greatly expand facilities and enhance the instruction. es = Education Division
