Analyzes job situations for chemical professionals on the basis of the survey findings obtained by the Chemical and Engineering News and the College Placement Council. Indicates a slight recovery in employment in 1973. (CC)

Discusses the inclusion of knowledge on macromolecules into a freshman chemistry course which emphasizes topics in organic chemistry, polymer science and biochemistry, atoms, chemical thermodynamics, and inorganic chemistry. Indicates that the program is the only way to keep chemistry education up to date. (CC)

Summarizes course offerings and degree programs conducted by organizational units in the area of polymer science and engineering. Indicates that current trends are characterized by creation of interdisciplinary polymer programs and increase of academic training at both graduate and undergraduate levels. (CC)

Discusses formation of chemical molecules via Mobius strip intermediates, and concludes that many special physics-chemical properties of the fully closed circular form (1) of polyoma DNA are explainable by this topological feature. (CC)

Presents the characteristics of an experimental course offered at the University of Texas in the Fall of 1971. Confirms the concept that computer-based instructional techniques have the potential of increasing both the degree and rate of student learning. (CC)

Discusses activities undertaken in pharmacologist's laboratories and the prerequisites for admission to a degree study. Indicates that pharmacology is a new science but deals with drugs existing since the dawn of history. (CC)

Describes the use of 30 student subjects to correlate the ACS-NSTA Forms 1967 and 1969 with the CEEB chemistry and mathematics achievement tests and I.Q. scores. Indicates that a high positive correlation exists between the two nation-wide chemistry evaluation instruments. (CC)

Suggests that universities modify chemistry programs to be more appropriate for students who have had Nuffield project oriented instruction at secondary school level. The conclusions of a survey support this notion. (PS)
