Kids See Chemistry Come Alive
Getting high school students
interested in studing chemistry was the
focus of last Friday's National Chemistry Week celebration at Lehigh.
More than 100 area high school
students and their teachers attended
special programs that included demonstrations by members of Lehigh's
chemistry department faculty and a
chemistry magic show by two Illinois
State University professors.
This was the second time Lehigh
participated in this national event,
which was developed by the American
Chemical Society to encourage secondary school students to study chemistry.
According to Roland Lovejoy,
professor of chemistry, who coordinated the Lehigh program, the event
"advertises the fact that chemistry
surrounds us on all sides. It reminds
people that chemistry is important in our
lives and that we are here and kicking."
Odis Rathenberger and Jim Webb of
Illinois State presented a magic show that
Lovejoy termed "the hit of the afternoon." Following that presentation five
members of Lehigh's chemistry faculty,
Ned D. Heindel. Natalie Foster, Charles
Kraihanzel, Kamil Klier, and Fortunato
Micale, participated in chemistry demonstrations.
Schools throughout Northampton
and Lehigh County were invited to the
program. Among the schools sending
students and teachers were Palmerton
High School, Voorhees High School,
Liberty High School and the Hill School.
Lehigh Joins Pilot Link
To Library Of Congress
By Allan Wilkins
Lehigh University Libraries are
Pennsylvania's only site — and one of 14
locations nat jonwide — chosen to
participate in a pilot program for telephone access to the Library of Congress'
informational computer databases.
Lehigh faculty and students will be
able to research any files within the
Library of Congress Information System
(LOCIS), according to Berry Richards,
director of libraries.
"This is an invaluable tool for
faculty and students alike researching any
topic," she said.
Lehigh was selected to participate in
the program because of its "campus-wide
information system and capabilities to
search databases from faculty offices and
residence halls." said Richards.
Instruction on how to access the
computer databases on campus during the
six-month program, which began Oct. 1,
is being offered initially to all faculty
members, according to Laura Elliott,
information specialist at Fairchild-
Martindale Library.
Elliott, who is coordinating the
project, spent two days in Washington
recently attending informational and
instructional meetings.
The Library of Congress system
includes:
• Legislative information files related to
the status of public bills introduced to
Congress.
• Current events file of articles and
government publications on public policy.
• Copyright registrations and documents
file.
• A national master file of organizations
doing research.
• The Library of Congress on-line catalogue.
• A maps file, including cartographic
items.
• A music database of scores and recordings.
• A Near East National Union List.
• An audiovisual materials file which
includes photographs, drawings, motion
pictures and others.
According to Library of Congress
officials, the pilot program is being used to
