"meet a real stu- dent need," Dean James Robert- son of the Literary School said. The courses are available to stu- dents who have completed a regu- lar year's work in a laboratory sequence. "Recent studies by the Standing Committee on Curriculum in con- junction with the Natural Science! Study Committee revealed that! many students do not take physi- cal science courses because of their fear of mathematics and the level of competition," Dean Rob- ertson declared. Chemistry 9 and Physics 20 have therefore been devised to give the student an opportunity to find out what physical sciences are like. These courses supplement Botany 3, Zoology 38, Geology 99, and Astronomy 30. Chemistry Chemistry 9 is a four-hour course consisting of four class periods and three hours of labo- ratory work. The course is taught by Prof. Leigh Anderson, head of the chemistry department. Designed for students with no previous chemistry in high school or college, Chemistry 9 attempts to relate chemistry to home econ- omics, geology, minerology, and other scientific fields related. "The course is an appreciation and background of chemistry rather than a knowledge of chem- .. ods of Physics, will be offered next semester under the direction ofj Prof. Noah Sherman. The course, is directed toward Literary Col- lege students whose principal in- terests are in learning the meth- ods and achievements of physics and its role in understanding the world, The contents of the course will include fundamental concepts in Newtonian mechanics, Electro- magnetic theory, Quantum phy- sics, and the principles of rela- tivity, Only prerequisites neces- sary are high school algebra and geometry. "It is hoped that students will enjoy the beauty and intellectual adventure associated with scienti- fic insight as well as acquiring a sound background for a reason- able evaluation of the scientific and pseudo-scientific information which is so important in modern living," Prof. Sherman remarked. History Another of the new liberal arts science courses is History of Sci- ence, now taught by Edward Lurie of the History department. History 199 was initiated as a three hour, two-semester course through the interdisciplinary cooperation of the History department and the Natural Science Study Committee. The first semester, history 199a, deals with the study of the ori- gins and development of modern' science and tis relationship with I 199b, stresses both the role of sci- al. and historical aspects of the Western world," Dr. Lurie ex- ence in the history of the UnitedpWer. States and the general history of Philosophy western science. Subjects discussed Philosophy 51, Science and Hy-j include the status of science and pothesis, will be taught in the fall technology beginning with the semester in 1957 by Prof. Arthur seventeenth centruy, the develop- Burk. The course is divided into ment of national scientific insti- two parts, deductive and induc- tutions, and the careers and con- tive logic and the study of quanti- a I 1 tative science. Examples are drawn from the history of sci- ence from the Greeks through Newton. Philosophy 51 is a four hour course and may be used to satis- fy the science requisite. A two se- mester sequence of college labor- atory science, high school algebra and plane geometry are required for the course. "The aim of the course is to teach students about scientific method and inference with parti- cular stress on the quantitative method in physics and as- tronomy," Prof. Burk said, LET THERE BE SNOW-Winter means ski time for college students all over the country. One of the activities of the University Ski Club will include trips to the ski slope at Peach Mountain. Ski Club To Use U Slope On Peach Mt. By SUSAN KARTUS Because of the ingenuity of the Ski Club, the University is the first college in the state of Michigan to have its own ski slope. Peach Mountain, the site of the slope, is the highest mountain in the southern part of the state. Located 18 miles from Ann Arbor, it is near Portage Lake. The ter- rain of the slope varies and con- sequently both beginning and ad- vanced skiers may take advantage of the 660 foot slope. The slope was discovered last year when the faculty advisor of the Ski Club took a trip through the state to find a suitable loca- tion for skiing. He not only dis- covered Peach Mountain, but he also found out it was owned by the University's Natural Resource de- partment. Request to use the land was granted.

I Prohibit Buildnig The Natural Resource Depart- ment has prohibited the erection of a warming house or ski tow on the slope. John Smith, '57E, the club's president says that the lack of a ski tow is not a disadvantage because the five minute climb up the hill serves as a "built-in muscle builder," increasing the strength of the legs.I Smith added the club is anxious to increase its membership be- cause more people provide bet- ter opportunities for good skiing., "With 200 people in the club I sively be arranged." Ski Club Activities Presently, ski club activities in- clude ski trips up into Northern Michigan, free instruction for be- ginners, and an opportunity for advanced skiers to compete for positions on the five-man Michi- gan Ski team. The team enters the Michigan Intercollegiate Ski As- sociation racing competition at Boyne Mountain each year. When Smith took over the job as president of the club, member- shp totaled eight active members. Presently there are 65 members which Smith hopes "is only the beginning" of increased growth. He added they feel "fortunate in acquiring the slope," because Michigan is limited in its skiing terrain. "All we need now," he contin- ued, "is a good snow and we'll really be set."

Russians Set Conduct Rules A monthly magazine, "Family and School", which has taken on the job of telling Russians what their manners ought to be, has listed the following rules of con- duct according to the United Press. x) At a dress party, dress, suit, blouse, shirt, jacket and tie must be in tone. "It isn't correct to wear clothes of different colors which make people look like parrots." 2) A man must always help a lady remove her coat and open the door for her. 3) At the end of a party, a young man may escort a young lady home, but should first offer to accompany "older people, inval- ids ,teachers if they are present." 4) While descending a stair- case, the man goes ahead and the lady follows. If they come to a puddle in the street, the man crosses first, then offers the lady a helping hand across. 5) On entering an apartment, a guest doesn't greet the host un- til he takes off his hat, coat, ga- loshes, and, of course, the gloves-- left one first!
