The chemistry students at
Brevard College were shown
this week that chemistry can
indeed be fun and interesting
by Dr. Thomas Crawford of the
U. of Louisville. Dr. Crawford
received his Doctorate degref
from the U. of Louisville and
is now an instructor in chemis
try at that University.
On Monday and Tuesday, Dr.
Crawford delivered a lecture
concerning co-ordination chem
istry to Miss Bobbie Jean Nich
olson’s chemistry classes. Mon
day night in Dunham Auditor
ium Dr. Crawford exhibUed his
talents as sort of a roving am
bassador for the chemistry pro
fession. Not only was Dr. Craw
ford’s science seminar inform
ing and interesting, but with
the help of hi.s diversified tal
ents and a few chemicals, he
was able to put on one of the
most comical and entertaining
shows that has lighted Dunham
stage. I
It is interesting to note that
Dr. Crawford at one time had
wanted to go into show busi
ness. However, he said, because
of lack of talent, he became a
teacher. However, no lack of
talent was shown as Dr. Craw
ford demonstrated his know
ledge of chemistry. Among the
many experiments he performed
was the production of a ten-foot
strand of nylon and an explod
ing replica of a grain silo show
ing the effects of the combus-
ion of grain.
One oithe high lights of the
show came when Dr. Crawford
sang and then changed his
voice by inhaling helium gas
For his grand “folly,” Dr. Craw
ford, with the help of an un
known chemical, changed the
President of the Brevard SGA
into a girl. As it turned out,
the experiment was only a joke,
and the president retained his
masculinity.
The science seminar was en
ded with a rendition of the
chemist’s version of “Engtod

Students in the INTRODUC
TION TO THE THEATRE
course at Brevard College will
present two one-act plays on
Friday, May 11, and Saturday,
May 12, at 8:00 p. m. in the Dun
ham Music Center Auditorium.
The public is invited at no ad
mission charge.
The program will consist of
RIDERS TO THE SEA, by J. M.
Synge, THE PROPOSAL, by An
ton Chekhov, and several one-
character scenes from plays en
acted by students of the class.
RIDERS TO THE SEA is the
most impressive of the Synge
one-actors. The setting is on an
island off the west coast of Ire
land around the year 1900. It
has to do with the mother of
six fishermen sons, who are
drowned at sea.
Chekhov, one of the masters
of Russian literature, wrote five
or six short plays in which he
shows the lighter side of Rus
sian country life. In these plays
he appears to be asking his aud
ience to cast off restaint and
laugh with him at the stupidity
and naivete, as well as good-
heartedness, of the people he
knew so well. THE PROPOSAL
is an uproarious farce. The
story tells of the efforts of a
nervous and excitable man who
starts to propose to an attractive
young woman, but who gets in
to a tremendous quarrel over a
boundary - line.
Kim Storrs, Susanne Hegge,
Betsy CcCown, George Patter
son, Jack Peacock, and Patricia
Crawford will act in the pro
ductions.
The production is under the
■direction of Alan Wallace.
