Applied Physics Dept. Plans Freshman Tour

The Department of Engineering and Applied Physics will attempt to give freshmen a clearer picture of the field by presenting a talk by members of the department and a tour of the laboratories tomorrow.

Although the Division has sponsored the tour every year, it is innovating the talks this fall to rectify what F. Karl Willenbrock, associate director of the Laboratories in the Division, call "the lack of a definite idea" of the field's subject matter.

Speakers will include Harvey Brooks, Dean of Engineering and Applied Physics. An applied physicist, an engineer, and an applied mathematician will also give talks.

The program, which begins at 3:30 p.m. in Pierce Hall 110, will conclude with a tour of the Gordon McKay Laboratory and the Computation Laboratory.
