Chemistry Forum Assists Freshmen
A college education, even at a large university, does not have to be impersonal.
Professor Clark E. Bricker of the chemistry department, has initiated a new program for freshmen chemistry students. It provides a discussion period each week with senior staff members to clear up questions that may come to mind in the laboratory sessions.
The discussion sessions are in groups of 20 or less, and provide contact between senior staff members and freshman students.
SENIOR STAFF members are voluntarily leading the discussion groups in addition to their other duties. The whole department is cooperating in an effort to give new students more individual attention, according to Prof. Bricker.
"I feel that students should not be spoon-fed their education, but that they should be able to get all the help they need in understanding what they study." Prof. Bricker said.
He said it would take a college generation to dispel the mistaken ideas that most students have about a large university and a large chemistry department. The change to a closely knit faculty-student relationship will not be rapid, he said.
In an effort to get the program off to a good start, Prof. Bricker has set up blocs of time one day each week for freshman chemistry students only.
CALLING IT 'freshman day,' the professor has set aside 8 am, to 10 am, and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., every Wednesday for conferences with students who want to ask him questions.
Another gradual change to take place over the next few years concerns the laboratory sessions in freshman chemistry. The laboratory periods will be made more challenging and interesting to new students, without becoming any more difficult, according to Professor Bricker.
Some of the stock experiments done in high school courses will be eliminated from Chemistry 2 when it becomes possible to obtain more equipment to further specialize the sessions.

for all your furniture needs be sure to attend the
elevator any more without a back-
ground of piped-in music," Hitt said,
"I don't know if the music makes
the staff happier or more efficient,
but we certainly miss it when it's
turned off."
The office staff decided last year to chip in enough money to finance the radio system. Dr. William L Kelly, assistant registrar, bought the components in Kansas City and installed them himself.
We will sell the following: Carpets; 9x12, 12x10, 12x15 (these are all wool or nylon); Walnut dining room hutches, walnut dining room tables and chairs, Philco and Bendix dryer, braided double faced rugs, 9x12 dinette sets, what nots, several beautiful pieces of Early American furniture, walnut Danish stereo set, divans.
The 25 staff members seem to enjoy working with the soft background of classical and semi-classical music.
"People from other offices come through here and are quite envious of our music." Hitt said. "But as far as I know, this is the only office on the hill with piped-in music."
