The Biology Department has announced that Honors candidates, beginning with the Class of 1962, will be able to schedule their programs in one of four areas of specialization--chemical, functional, environmental, and evolutionary biology.
"The plan is the result of a completely new, basic philosophy adopted by the Department," Edward O. Wilson, associate professor of Zoology said yesterday.
Honors candidates in Biology have always taken four varied half-courses in addition to the six courses required of all concentrators in the Department. Under the new plan, students will select all of these additional courses within their particular area of specialization.
Three members of the University staff yesterday warned against the influence that the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Department have acquired in determining national policy. The three recently signed a statement supporting the Geneva talks on halting nuclear testing.
Noting the influence the AEC and Defense Department wield for continuing the tests, Paul M. Doty, professor of Chemistry, bemoaned the fact there is almost no "peace lobby" in the United States.
