Students study a rock slab from LeGrand, Iowa. The specimen is an excellent one, show¬ ing- on its surface many perfect specimens of sea lilies and other forms of marine life fossils. The slab was collected by a class which visited the LeGrand quarries several years ago. This is a part of the training in science which students at Iowa State College receive. SCIENCE DAY BY RADIO THIS IS IOWA STATE Science Day by radio, thirteenth in the Iowa State College series and the fourth by radio, will continue from April 2 through April 25. A series of 12 radio broadcasts will be sponsored by the Science Division at the college at the rate of three a week. Pro¬ gram days have been set as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All will furnish interesting listening for high school stu¬ dents who plan on a career in science. One of the most popular features of Science Day has been the sponsoring of contests for high school students. Five contests have been listed and will include a three-part mathematics examination—Al¬ gebra I, Algebra II and Plane Geometry, science vocabulary, history and govern¬ ment essay, bird identification and identi¬ fication of trees in winter conditions. A program designed to bring the average student before the mike in interview ses¬ sions, “This Is Iowa State,” will continue to devote its time to students and student functions here at Iowa State College. Its purpose is that of telling the folks at home just what goes on at Iowa State College to keep sons and daughters oc¬ cupied in and out of classes. The pro¬ gram carries instructors and specialists as well as students on its 15-minute spot— 4:30 to 4:45 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It has been a practice to line up pro¬ grams ahead of time in order that home¬ town stories may be sent out far enough in advance of the program to notify frieuds and families of those students appearing on the show that they may be heard over Station WOI at a particular time.
