Page 5hr SCARLET AND BLACK Biology Department Plans Research Projects Members of the Biology De- partment, with the aid and so tive Involvement of students, are currently engaged in many research projects. Extensive use of various equipment is being made, including the use of com- puters to analyze data. Kenneth Christiansen, chain man at the department, spent last year at the Laboratoil'e Souterrain in the French Pyre- nees studying the evolution of collembola, a minute insect tound in the soil. He is especial- 1y interested in the cave forms in which the special environv nient allows the observation or several evolutionary stages at the same time.
