HUC Physics
Laboratory Complete
By GEORGE DEMSHOCK
Making its debut with the Chem
istry Laboratory ten years ago, the
Physics Laboratory, located in the
Broad Street Section of HUC, is by
far one of the most complete of its
kind had by any Junior College in
Pennsylvania. In its present state
the lab is capable of accomodating
approximately 125 students. Unlike
the equipment of the Chemistry Lab,
the Physics Lab equipment is of a
more permanent type. In a single
experiment, one student alone may
utilize equipment totaling two or
three hundred dollars.
Adequate equipment will be had
by this department to handle all
students desirous of taking this
course, when the supplies on order
arrive.
Commensurate with the high stan
dards of this laboratory are our very
competent instructors: Mr. Mattern,
Mr. Levine and Mr. Coburn.
From the laboratory's formation,
up until the present time, it has kept
its status quo, never lowering its

nineteen students registered. Next in

In the field of medicine there is
one medical technician for each of
our two doctors to be.
Topping the list of engineers is
Ralph Pecora whose scholastic abili
