'Old Lace'
To Headline
New Season
Joseph Kesselring's farce com-
edy "Arsenic and Old Lace" will
open the 1957-58 speech depart-
ment playbill at 8 p.m. Thursday
through Saturday at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
As well as opening the 1957-58
season, "Arsenic and Old Lace"
will be the basic attraction for the
high. school drama clinic, spon-
sored by the department of speech,
on Friday. A special matinee will
be held for high school students to
demonstrate the feasibility of pro-
ducing this play in a high school.
Following the presentation of
this play for hih school students,
a discussion will be held on the
costuming and staging, according
to the director, Prof. Jack E. Ben-
der of the speech department.
Kesselring's comedy centers
around two old ladies who "cure"'
the loneliness of old men by giving
them a glass of wine with arsenic.
The bodies of ,their thirteen- vic-
tims are taken care of by their
nephew Teddy, who is convinced
that he is Teddy Roosevelt.
Mistaking the effects of arsenic
for an epidemic of yellow fever,
Teddy believes that he must bury.

Dr. van Zonneveld, who is Co-
ordinant Physician for Gerontolo-
gical Research in the National
Health Research Council, the
Hague, Netherlands, said that in
general this idea of "institutional
housing for older people" has been
greatly de-emphasized in the
Netherlands.
"Instead," he said, "we are try-
ing to let the aged live, as much
as possible independently, in their
own homes and environments."
Dr. van Zonneveld, who was
brought to the University by the
schools of Public Health, Social
Work and the Division of Geron-
tology for yesterday's lecture,
went on to say that groups of little
cottages have been built for this
purpose in many parts of Holland.
"Often," he continued, "they are
grouped around a central home
which can, if necessary, provide
specialized services for the aged
without forcing their removal to
a distant nursing home where
they might be isolated and un-
happy."
"There still remain, however,"
he added, "a number of old people

The Literary College Curriculum
Study Committee I. conducting an

Four professors of the pharmacy
school will speak this week before
the Pan American Congress of
Pharmacy and Biochemistry.
The meetings are scheduled to
last from Nov. 3 through 10, and
and are being held in Washington
D.C..
All four will deliver speeches
before the Congress.
Dean Tom D. Rowe will give his
paper on "Changes Influencing
the Teaching of Pharmacy In the
United States." Prof. Alex Berman
will:talk on "Tradition of Change:
The Hospital Formulary in the
United States."'
"The Selection of 'Process Vari-
ables in Compression Coating"
will be the topic presented by Prof.
Albert Mattocks, while Prof. Ara
Paul will discuss "Biosynthesis of,
Carbon-14-labeled Ergot Alka-
loids."

tribution courses in the sciences,
social sciences, etc., are supposed
to accomplish. The -social science
report in this area is nearing com-
pletion and will be finished in
about a month, Prof. Heyns said.
The second phase of the work
involves a study of the courses now
offered .,to see if they fulfill the
purpose which they should, and if
not, to institute courses which will,
he explained.
'Committee Handles Changes
The committee also handles all
new courses and course 'changes,-
studies inter-college and interde-
partmental courses and programs,
and in general deals with all phases
of the literary college curriculum.
'The Curriculum Committee is,
made up of six .college faculty
members elected for three-year,
terms, with Prof. Irving Copi of
the philosophy department serving
as chairman.
The college initiated this fall the
united science program, which "in-
cludes a new set of introductory
science and -mathematics courses
designed especially for the enter-
ing student who plans to elect any
one 'of the basic sciences as his
major field of study," the curricu-
lum committee's letter to the fac-
ulty explaining the program reads.
Describes Unified Science
This, program is similar to the
science-engineering program of-
fered by the engineering school in
the choice and placement of science
and mathermatics courses. "Cal-
culus is introduced early in 'the
freshman year and is fully used in
the science courses," the informa-
tion sheet describing the new pro-
gram reads.
"The science courses are so in-
tegrated that each makes full use
of the laws and methods learned in
the foregoing courses.
The physics and chemistry

courses are tailored to the needs
of. the science major, whatever his
field of interest," it continues.
The basic program for the fresh-
man and sophomore years includes
four semesters of mathematics
courses of a more advanced nature
than are usually offered freshmen.
Two semesters each of chemistry
and physics, which are integrated
into the program, are required of
students intending to major in any
science, although they pccur at
different times during the first six
semesters depending on the, field
of concentration in the sciences.,
Research Lab Work
"Laboratory work in all the
science courses is of a research
character where the students con-
ceive and execute their own ex-
periments," the letter announcing
the program explains.
Entering freshmen, if they enter
the literary college honors pro-
gram, are allowed to take unified
science in place of honors sections
in other courses, although these
may be elected also, Prof. Heyns.
commented.
The unified science program will:

nouncements of the literary college
