In Rethinking Science as a Career: Perceptions and Realities in the Physical Sciences (1), the authors noted some innovations in the direction of ``multiple tracks'' through the major. An update of these is presented along with an analysis of what it will take to overcome faculty (and student) resistance to these changes. Also a note on linking courses for non-science majors to their respective fields as part of an overall strategy toward increasing job and other graduate opportunities for physical science majors. If professionals outside the physical sciences are to be receptive to science majors, they must have more than a general appreciation for their special skills and knowledge. They must know some science, too.

When the author first went to Cornell, not only were no women on tenure in the history, government, economics, English, physics, chemistry and math departments, but pride was taken that there had never been women on the faculties of the history, government or economics departments. A conference was held on the subject of equal opportunities for women and at a 1969 conference a NOW chapter was formed on the Cornell campus. Since that time, this organization has succeeded in ending the admissions quotas for women in various departments, has ended parietal rules and residence rules for women, and has instituted a branch of Planned Parenthood on campus so that every undergraduate female will have success to contraceptive counseling and devices. Another achievement of the 1969 conference was the development of Female Studies at Cornell. The first course taught was uThe Evolution of the Female Personality.n This course touches on history, sociology, literature, intellectual P.istory, and anthropology, and was found to be of interest to undergraduate men as well as women.
