William H. Hendrickson Associate Professor CHEMISTRY: n., 1. the science dealing with the composition and properties of sub- stances, and with the reactions by which substances are produced from or converted into other sub- stances. 2. the application of this to a specified subject or field of activ- ity. 5. the chemical properties, composition, reactions, and uses of a substance. The Chemistry Department spon- sors the John B. O'Hara Chemical Sciences Institute each summer. Incoming freshmen chosen to par- ticipate receive eight hours of cred- it in General Chemistry. The O'Hara Charles W. Eaker Associate Professor Program also grants research sti- pends to advanced students work- ing on projects in selected areas of study, including organic mecha- nisms and organophosphorous chemistry. Diiring the regular year, the de- partment advises the local student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society. Members attend guest lectures on pertinent topics in academic, medical, and industri- al chemistry. Field trips to local lab- oratories such as HCH and Alcon are also scheduled. Those stu- dents holding national member- ship in the ACS are invited to at- tend regional and national conven- tions each year and, if desired, pre- sent the results of their research with the department's professors.

Patrick Kelly, Chairman Associate Professor Judith Ann French Kelly Associate Professor Donald Bennett Technical Director DRAMA: n., 1. a literary composition to be performed on the stage by actors; stage play. 2. the art or profession of writing, acting, or producting plays. :5. a series of events so inter- esting, vivid, etc. as to resemble those of a play. 4. the quality of being dramatic. The Drama Department is direct- ed by Patrick and Judith French Kelly, who are well-known in the theatrical profession. Their goal at the University of Dallas is to bring their knowledge to bear on produc- tions in the Margaret Jonsson The- ater. While the world of the theater is a limited one, the Margaret Jons- son Theater is downright small. The confines of this tiny space de- mand a creative vision which both enlivens UD productions and en- lightens UD audiences. The close quarters necessitate a brilliant per- formance by the actors, since any mistakes will be obvious to a dis- cerning audience. This same lack of space, however, ensures that the audience will be carried away as if to the very world the actors have created. Needless to say, Drama Department productions are al- ways expertly played and well re- ceived. The Drama Department also has its own scholarship fund from which it grants scholarships to in- coming freshmen, regardless of major. It is proof that at UD, the world of theater is open to all who wish to participate, not only those who choose it as a specialty.
