Students To Investigate
Possible Lab Revisions


By JOHN ROBERTS
The chemistry department has
established a pilot study involv-
ing 25 students to investigate pos-
sible changes in the Chemistry 4
laboratory program.
Prof. Robert W. Parry, chem-
istry department chairman, said
proposed changes include an in-
creased emphasis on qualitative,
analysis. This, coupled with "bet-
ter high school background" now
found. in freshman chemistry stu-
dents, would make it possible to go
directly into organic chemistry
courses without prerequisite cours-
es in qualitative analysis.
Present Regulations
At present, students desiring to
take chemistry 61, a one-semester
six-hour course in organic, are
required to have credit for Analy-
tic Chemistry 23. Both courses are
being dropped in the fall. Chem-
istry 61 will be replaced by a two-
semester sequence, with each se-
mester worth five hours credit.
Research Atmosphere
The changes being considered'
would ideally result. in a Chem-
istry 4 research atmosphere which
would stimulate student interest
in laboratory work similar to that
in Chemistry 8 and the unified sci-
ence courses, Chemistry 14 and
15, Prof. Parry said. Experiments
would be designed to "make stu-
dents ask nature a question and
then answer it," he said.
The pilot group, under the di-
rection of James Carter of the de-
partment, consists of students se-
lected at random from this se-
mester's Chemistry 4 class.
Determine Changes
By working with these students,
Carter hopes to determine what
changes 'in equipment and facili-
ties the proposed revisions would
entail. In addition, student reac-
tion to the new laboratory program
will partially determine which
changes, if any, will be instituted
next fall. Prof. Parry emphasized
that, while Chemistry 4 will be
1 / 11

in transition "for many semes-
ters," it was not possible to say
at present whether major changes
will be introduced in September.
"We've been concerned with the
lack of interest in laboratory
work," Prof. Parry said. "We're
trying to create a situation repre-
sentative as nearly as possible of
our own when confronted by a
problem."
"Response to the Chemistry 8,
14, and 15 laboratories indicate
that we have made some progress
toward establishing a research at-
mosphere in these courses. Stu-
dents seem to like them better
than the Chemistry 4 laborator-
ies," he added.
Gillman Petitions
For Board Seat
Michael Gillman, '61, took out
a petition for the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications yes-
terday.
Three posts are open on the
Board and new members will be
chosen by election Mar. 22.

EUGENE, Ore. - A proposal on
fraternity hazing is being consid-
ered by the student association at
the University of Oregon.
The proposal is related to a bill
that has been introduced in the
Oregon State Legislature.
The student association had
originally approved sending a let-
ter to the legislature saying there
was no need for such a bill.
Recent investigation, however,
showed there was considerable
hazing at Oregon and the new pro-
posal asked for a reconsideration
of the action denying the need for
legislation.

Loves of Dobie Gilis", etc.)
WORDS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
Today let us take up the subject of etymology (or entomology,
as it is sometimes called) which is the study of word origins
(or insects, as they are sometimes called).
Where are word origins (insects) to be found? Well sir, some-
times words are proper names that have passed into the language.
Take, for instance, the words used in electricity: ampere was
named after its discoverer, the Frenchman Andre Marie Ampere
(1775-1836); similarly ohm was named after the German G. S.
Ohm (1781-1854), watt after the Scot James Watt (1736-1819),
and bulb after the American Fred C. Bulb (1843-1912).
There is, incidentally, quite a poignant little story about Mr.
Bulb. Until Bulb's invention, all illumination was provided by
gas, which was named after its inventor Milton T. Gas who,
strange to tell, had been Bulb's roommate at Cal Tech! In fact,
strange to tell, the third man sharing the room with Bulb and
Gas was also one whose name burns bright in the annals of
illumination-Walter Candle!
The three roommates were inseparable companions -in col-
lege. After graduation all three did research in the problem of
artificial light, which at this time did n4 exist. All America
used to go to bed with the chickens. In fact, many Americans
were chickens.
Well sir, the three comrades-Bulb, Gas, and Candle-
promised to be friends forever when they left school, but success,
alas, spoiled all that. First Candle invented the candle, got
rich, and forgot his old friends. Then Gas invented gas, got.rich,
bankrupted Candle, and forgot his old friends. Then Bulb in-
vented the bulb, got rich, bankrupted Gas, and forgot his,
old friends.

Candle and Gas, bitter and impoverished at the age respec-
tively of 75 and 71, went to sea as respectively the world's
oldest and second oldest cabin boy. Bulb, rich and grand, also
went to sea, but he went in style-as a first-class passenger on
luxury liners.
Well sir, strange to tell, all three were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitania when she was sunk in the North Atlantic. And,
strange to tell, when they were swimming for their lives after the
shipwreck, all three clambered aboard the same dinghy l
Well sir, chastened and made wiser by their brush with death,
they fell into each other's arms and wept and exchanged for-
giveness and became fast friends all over again.
For three years they drifted in the dinghy, shaking hands and
singing the Cal Tech rouser all the while. Then, at long last,
they spied a passing liner and were taken aboard.
They remained fast friends for the rest of their days, which,
I regret to report, were not many, because the liner which picked
them up was the Titanic.
What a pity that Marlboros were not invented during the,
lifetimes of Bulb, Gas, and Candle! Had there been Marlboros,
