It will attempt to survey and correlate some of the import ant theories and processes in phy sical science and to develop a basic understanding of them. The course is designs! as a one-ee- mester program granting three semester hours of credit. E. D. McCullough of 404 Pitts Street, brought a basket of huge tomatoes by The Chronicle early this week.
