Silverman, Chemistry Department head studied the structure of colored glasses under a granl from the National Science Foundation. With the aic of a $3500 grant from the Rask-@rsted Foundation Dr. John Mickelsen will study the properties ol chromium hydrazine compounds at the Universityol Copenhagen during the coming academic year. lr order to expand its research facilities, the Chemistrt Department ordered a $17,000 nuclear magnetir resonance machine, and a $12,000 infrared spectro photometer, to be used in studying molecular struc ture of materials. The Physics Department welcomed Dr. Tokio Ohta from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, as visitinl professor at PSC. The department offered severa classes in electron microscoPY, nuclear physics, ant biophysics which in many colleges and universitiet are exclusively on the graduate level, and prepared tt open a new 400-level class in electron optics. Unlik many institutions, PSC offered undergraduate re search opportunities for interested seniors' 102
