PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY After a year of searching, the Division of Science found a new dean to replace Thurman Peterson who resigned last July to return to teaching. Dr. Karl Ditt- mer, former head of the Chemistry Department at Florida State University, assumed his position after Mark Curevitch, PSC Physics Department head, spent this year as acting dean of science. Dittmer, a bio- chemist, holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University Medi- cal School. The big news in upper division science this year was preparitory-the tooling up for next fall's move into a new building, and into graduate work in chemistry, physics, math, and applied science. Students and faculty marked this as their last year in the ancient laboratories of Old Main, and looked forward to having much more teaching and research space in the five story science complex on Mill Street.
