a college department garners
more than 100 LC students in its
diverse probings of the nature of
things.
Headed by department head
Dr. A. A. Groening the division
offers study opportunity in me­
chanics, heat, sound, light, mag­
netism and electricity. Some time
is devoted to nuclear physics
through the stuay of modern
physics. Twelve · students grad­
uated as physics majot·s in --the
June 4 commencement. Last year

Non-majors a's well as majors
are~ afforded an opportunity for
learning something of the phys­
ics field. Three lower division
courses are given. One of thes·e
courses is for non-majors, such
as students in the humanities, so­
cial sciences and other non-scien -tific fields. A freshman course is

Math Essential ·
Mathematics is an essential
tool. fo1· all physlcs students, Dr.
Groening points out. "All stu­
dents taking physics or chemistry
must . take mathematics, includ­

The importance -of physics can­
not be minimized Dr. qroening
believes. "The first World War
was a chemist's war and during
the 1920's chemistry grew im­
mensely. The last war was a
physicist's war and it looks as
though physics will experience
as Phenomenal a growth," he as­
serts.

'Dover' Okay; 'Hedda'
Slower Critic Declares
By John Forbis
Thursday, June 29, saw the in­
troduction of the Summer Thea­
ter to the LC campus and to the
city of Portland as well. Drama
department head Arthur Coe
Gray unveiled his Fir Acres Sum­
mer Theater project ·with a
sparkling performance of A. A.
Milne's comedy, "The Dover
Road."
This highly witty comedy of
complications in v o I v e d Dan
Campbell as . a polished and. e..­
centric English gentleman, Mr.
Latimer, whost hobby is pre­
venting unhappy marriages aided
by his butler Dominic (Don Eng­
lish), and those prevented: Leon­
ard (Robert Griggs); Ann (Pat
Thornton); Eustacia (Audrey ,
Leonard Het:~ry); and Nicholas
(Clair Roskam). The production
right down to sets {Joe McDon­
nal) and costumes (Bee Jay Har~
ris) was expertly done. Particu­
larly of note was a hilarious bre~kfast scene beginning Vhe
second act wherein the entire
cast was displayed at their fast­
est and funniest.
The secq41d production of the
season was "Hedda Gabler" a
bleak and talky tragedy by Ibsen.
If "Hedda" was not up to the fin­
ished standard set by "The Dover
Road" it was more the fault of
the play than of the Fir. Acres
cast. The play is dull, slow mov­
ing and too often didacti_c. It is a
psychological study of a cruel,
power-mad woman whose sins
eventually lead her to self-de­
struction .
The cast included such veter­
~ms of the LC stage as Joan Ston­
er in the difficult title role; Ed­
ward Beach as Judge Brack;
George Thompson as Tesman;
Don English; Bee Jay Harris;
Florence Shumaker and newcom­
er Avis Lang. The set was by
Robert. Griggs and costumes by
Joan Stoner. an.d Joe McDonnal. Ed Shuck."

,An exceptio nally good ri'lathe­

Tabor college, he got his Ph.D.
in physical chemistry and physics
at Kansas university .in 1926. He
has taught mathematics, meteor­

physics and is now lecturing on
cosmic rays. LC advertising instructor Price
Burlingame, ana LC, received a
vote of confidence from the Ore­
gon Advertising club at a recent
meeting for the advancement of
advertising education.
The commendation, received in
a letter from George P. Giffis,
Ad club president, to President
Morgan S. Odell point~d out that
the education program of the
club has been operating for five
years. It has experienced its
greatest growth during the past
two years since Price Burlingame
directed the program , Griffis
said.
"Mr. Burlingame 's apprecia­
tion of the responsibility involved
in the teaching of advertising,
and his keen eagerness to make
courses not only academically
sound but commercially prac­
tical as well was all observed "
the letter said. '
The board of directors of the
club, at a meeting reviewing ac­
tivities of the educational com­
mittee, instructed Griffis to make
Burlingame's record with the
group a part of the club's
archives.
"It was the feeling of the di­
rectors that the mtensive activ­
ity and devotion to this task ex­
tended by Price Burlingame is
worthy of specia1 collUllendation.
It was with this in mind that the
board approved unanimously a
resolution calling for a record of
these accomplishments to be
made . a part of the permanent
records of the club, and that an
expression of the org.aniaztion's
approval be sent to both yourself
and to Mr. Burlingame," the let ..
ter continued.
BC Track Meet
Won _by NW Stars The play is concerned, as is
true of most of Barry's plays,
with .a set of world weary sophis­
ticates each in his own way try­
ing to find some thread of mean­
ing in his life. Barry, points out
in this play the deteriorating ac­
tion upon the human personality
of the disillusionm ent ·of modern
life.
