A versatile artist, sculptor and preparator, Marchand has been fashioning exhibits for the Univer- sity Museum of Natural History for four years. * * * HIS WORK consists mainly of producing replicas of plants and animals for museum exhibits. Ev- erything from pineapples to mini- ature mastodons come to life un- der his skilled fingers. At the pre- sent time he is involved in a series of deep sea exhibits for the muse- um. Marchand's creations are so realistic they often are mistaken for the genuine article. To achieve this the scientist em- ploys numerous ingenious de- vices. In his snake exhibit, currently being shown in the rotunda of the museum, an electric doorbell pro- duces rattles from the coiled snakes. * * * THE ARTIST is best known for his dioramas-three dimensional glass-enclosed scenes. He does the entire scene himself, not only making the central figures, but also painting the background and in- stalling the exhibit. The most spectacular of Mar- chand's dioramas is a scene de- picting mastodons. To set off the mastodons, the artist has created a ragweed forest, a lake, formed by a pane of glass, and a sunset which changes color without ar- tificial lighting. The color change is accomplish- ed by means of a series of lenses placed in the plaster dome over the scene and is now in the process of being patented. * * * ANOTHER OF HIS innovations is a case reresenting all types of mushrooms. At the base of each poisonous plant, Marchand has placed a miniature skull. "People don't soon forget which mushrooms are poisonous when they see those skulls," he explained. Marchand learned his unique craft from his father who attended -Daily-Al Reid SCIENTIFIC ARTIST - George Marchand and a giant venus fly- trap. several Paris art schools. "If I had to look for another kind of a job I wouldn't know where to go," he remarked. "This is the only thing I've ever done." * * * MUSEUM DIRECTORS prob- ably aren't too sorry about March- and's limitations. He receives or- ders from all parts of the country and has recently made exhibits for such institutions as the Cleveland Museum, the Museum of Natural History in Chicago and the Cran- brook-Institute. In spite of his skill at this type of work, Marchand never makes any knick-knacks for his home. "I guess it's just another case of the cobbler who goes around with holes in his shoes," he laughed. convention and probably not then," Cargo said. Gov. Warren, he added, has to adjust his schedule and may not be able to speak on campus after all. After bitter discussion which lasted almost an hour, the group took a "non-binding straw vote" which resulted in 15 members for Sen. Taft and three favoring Gov. Warren. Elections will be held Dec. 6 at a general meeting at which a pres- ident and secretary will be chosen. John Tope, former national president of 'the Young Republi- cans, ocered a comment on the controversy that "whenever you get politicians together there are always difficulties." Meanwhile, at a relatively quiet Young Democrats meeting, Neil Staebler, chairman of the state Democratic committee, predicted that "Truman will get the '52 nomination if he wants it." British Writer To Talk Here Elizabeth Bowen, well-known Irish-English novelist, will speak on "The Writer in an Atomic Age" at 4:10 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 3, in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Best known to Americans for her novels "The Heat of the Day," and "The Death of the Heart," Miss Bowen has also written col- lections of short stories. Her ar- ticles and crtical essays have ap- peared frequently in "The Satur- day Review of Literature," "Atlan- tic Monthly," and "Vogue." Miss Bowen's talk will include comments on her own work as well as her contemporaries, and will il- lustrate the special function of to- day's literary figures.

Then, deciding that his some- what cryptic summation called for some clarification, Prof. Gordon Cleveland, a political scientist from the Chapel Hill campus, add- ed, "that's a compliment." * . * PROF. CLEVELAND, currently studying the University's political science set-up on a Ford grant, is on a tour of several of "the out- standing political science depart- ments of the United States." When he returns to Chapel Hill, his recommendations will form the basis for a projected re-organization of the North Carolina s ch o ol's beginning coursesin political science. Operating from the Ford study's home-base at Syracuse University in New York, Prof. Cleveland has already hit Columbia and Prince- ton Universities.

"I'm particularly impressed with the lecture-section system here," Proaf. Cleveland said, "es- pecially in, the introductory courses." Other outstanding features of the local political science set-up, according to the soft-spoken southerper, are the high caliber of most section instructors and the close coordination of the material presented in their classes and that developed in the lectures. "While this system isn't unique at Michigan," he explained, "it seems to work exceptionally well here." * * * AS FOR THE University as a whole, the Carolinan drawled, he likes the free, inquiring spirit which still pervades the campus. "I could be wrong," Prof. Cleve- land said, "but you don't seem to . have the feeling that you're under the thumb of the state legislature here." "Most state universities," he concluded ruefully, "are heading more and more in that direction." award.
