Discusses a program, consisting of individual conventional experiments and group special projects, along with lectures in analytical courses during the last six to eight weeks of a semester. Concludes that students' different aspects of capability are encouraged after receiving the course. (CC)

Discusses procedures of using the selective absorption properties of manganese dioxide to prepare a short-lived source from the cerium-144/praseodymium-144 system. (CC)

Describes an elective course dealing with chemistry for the consumer. Students investigate consumer products, the chemistry behind these products, and possible ways in which a better understanding of chemistry could help them become more selective consumers. The chemistry of aerosols is a topic given particular attention. (JR)

Discusses professionalism activities taken by the American Chemical Society such as exerting pressures on employers, setting up a manpower policy group, and establishing a legal aid loan program. (CC)

A simple experiment is proposed that can provide the student with some insight into the chemical properties of solids. It also demonstrates the relationship between the Gibbs free energy of formation of an ionic solid and the emf of an electrochemical cell. (DF)

Discusses experience of teaching chemistry to underprepared students whose characteristics are analyzed in great detail. Concludes that the same principles are applicable to mathematics or other science fields. (CC)

Discusses educational programs carried out by a minimum system which consists of a PDP-8/L computer with 4K memory and an ASR-33 teletype. Indicates that an entire curriculum with 450 students can be handled by simply adding some components. (CC)
