The Colloquium
Dr. Robert E. Morris
spoke at the first Math-
Physics Colloquium, Thurs
day, January 19. The topic
of his talk was the “Use of
Mathematics in Modern
REVIVAL
Dr. Morris discussed the
early development of quan
tum mechanics from a study
of electromagnetic radiation
from a blackbody and the
radiation from the hydrogen
atom. The main point of the
talk was that being able to
write a mathematical law to
describe the radiation led to
a new physical description of
the two systems.
The purpose of the Mathe
matics and Physics Collo
quium is to encourage fa
culty members to pursue
academic interests, as well
as to stimulate area high
school teachers and students
to broaden their knowledge
of mathematics.
During the week of February 6-10, the Spring Student-led
Revival is being held. There will be five evening services and
two morning services. A Creative Worship Service will be
held in the Dover Chapel; on Feb. 5 to kick off the week of
revival; service starts at 10:15 p.m. Monday through

Department of Math Sciences
The Mathematics and Physics Department will become
the Department of Mathematical Sciences next fall. This is
not just a change in the name of the department, but also a
change in course offerings.
We will be cooperating with the Business Department
and double listing courses in the use of the computer. A
mathematics major will now be able to get a B.S. degree in
mathematics with a computer science concentration. This
will give the student a wider range of job opportunities as
well as a better preparation for graduate school in the area
of computer science. For details concerning this new pro
gram, contact Dr. Paul Jolley, chairman.

Letter To The Editor
January 24, 1978
Dear Editor,
I actually enjoyed chapel last week! Dr. Elizabeth
Koontz was a blessing to listen to for offering a message of
optimism and good news. (A much needed change from my
“pre-graduation blues” . . . you know . . . Will I go to grad
school? . . . Will I find a job? . . . Will I survive?!)
One thought of hers stands out in particular concerning
the job market. “People are always making a place for a
person with guts, for one with self-confidence and for
people willing to start at the bottom and work up. A per
son so willing has goals, and people respect and want
that.” Seniors, there is still hope!
The only negative thing I heard about the program
were “It should have been required for women only” or
“She was just a woman’s libber.” I disagree. She was a
people’s libber. She spoke not only of women’s lib, but of
age, racial, and sex (both sexes) discrimination. She also
brought up the questions of career changes, environmental
influence, energy supply and demand, and mandatoiy re
tirement—questions that eventuaUy will affect us all at
some point in our lives.
I firmly believe that anyone, any age, sex, or color could
have received a message from her speech that one could
identify with had they heard this sincere, dynamic woman
speak. Plaudits to Dr. Koontz for a job well done!
RespectfaUy submitted,
Dana Leigh Dillon
