Dangerous, yes, and costly. Around 2:00 a.m., Lincoln firemen responded to the explosion. The source, accord ing to Dr. S.J. Siohs, a faculty member of the school of pharmacy, located in Lyman, was a poorly stored container of petroleum ether. Someone had put the solvent into a refriger ator in the lab, but had left the container which held it un covered. The concentrated fumes from the liquid ignited when the temperature control switch inside the refrigerator kicked on. ''all it a slip of the mind," said Dr. Stohs, pointing out that caution has to be taken when working with chemicals. Care has always been the xik"y, but it obviously wiii now be stressed.

The program will recreate the historic Senate trial of President Andrew Johnson using a cast of 75 actors and extras. All the material used in the program vil! be factual, (Continued on Page 10) explode in Lyman Hall hall will now use only explosion proof refrigerators. Essen tially the same as average refrigerators, the big" differ ence lies in the placement of the temperature control switch. It's located outside of the refrigerator instead of inside. That way, if any explosive fumes are present inside the refrigerated area, no spark from an electrical switch can ignite them. While damage to the lab was extensive, workmen are fast getting it back into working condition. In two to three weeks, things should be re turned to normal, as far as use of the lab, Stohs said. But experimental work has been set back, due to the loss of some chemicals and enzymes. According to William Bulger, one of the two graduate students who had been working in the lab, some of the lost chemicals are practically ir replacable, And some work will have to be duplicated.

Harold Pinter's "The Birth day Party" will open Friday, July 5, in the Studio Theatre in the lower level of the Temple ' Building, 12th and R Sts. The play will be the second of four to open which will alternate through Aug. 31 as presenta tions of the NU Repertory Theatre. The other two and their opening performances vill be "Cohan is. a Grand Old Name", written by NU Theatre Department faculty member . David Bell, opening July 12; and Moliere's "School for Wives,'' opening Aug. 2. "School for Wives" will tour five Nebraska towns during September, "The Birthday Party" is a play that fully demonstrates playwright Pinter's capacity of being menacing, ominous and evocative of some dark and impending doom, according to William Morgan, NU professor of speech and dramatic art. Morgan is directing the play. The action takes place in an English seaside boarding house where a young man named Stanley, played by Jim Sudik, is in hiding from some not too clearly specified menace. Stanley is forced to be the guest of honor at an impromptu celebration of his birthday. The celebration turns into a gro tesque contest between a tormented Stanley and two mysterious but diabolical in quisitors, Goldberg, played by Bill Wallis, and McCann, played by Alan Nielsen. According to Director Morgan, Pinter has the gift of .making drama theatrically ef-, fective when what he is driving Ph.D. in medical science, and his lab work here is fbished. "I was one of the lucky ones," he said. (( r v-3 f 1 II nnnnnnnnr ?

"Pinter's plays are like intellectual wrestling matches," Morgan said. "He asks his aadience to operate with minimal information, tossing .off clues, ,hints, insinuations, and other ' shrewd mystifi cations until one believes in the world of impending terror he creates."
