Halliday, Margot's American ex-lover, works with Inspector Hubbard,
the police detective in charge of the case, to defend Margot's honor
and uncover the true culprit.
Tony Wendice is played by Karl Wagonfuhr, Max Halliday by Mike
Skinner, Captain Lesgate by Mark Frey, Inspector Hubbard by Matt Elwel
and Margot Wendice by Tara Kelly. Director Hill has appeared in
previous E-52 productions. This performance marks his directorial

Harrington company schedules 'Pippin'
"Behind the lights, sets and magic, there is a meaningful message
to anyone who has ever had a dream." That's how Harrington Theatre
Arts Company (HTAC) director Colin Murphy describes the upcoming play,
Pippin.
The plot concerns a man who searches to find himself. He tries to
find "ultimate fulfillment" in many ways. The original show was
directed on Broadway by the late Bob Fosse.
HTAC has had extensive experiences in other types of productions.
Last year, it staged Godspell, The Odd Couple and Anything Goes. In
the coming year, the troupe plans to perform Steel Magnolias and
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Now in its 19th year on campus, the HTAC is operated by students
of any major. No experience is necessary and auditions are open to the
community, Murphy said.
Pippin will begin this weekend, on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13
and 14, in Wolf Hall. Additional performances will be presented Nov.
19, 20 and 21. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $4 and
will be sold in advance in the Perkins Student Center Concourse. They
also may be purchased at the door.

Tumor biology talks set for Newark Hall
Rakesh K. Jain of the Harvard Medical School will present two
talks as the University Department of Chemical Engineering's 1992 Kurt
Wohl Memorial Lecturer for 1992.
Jain, who earned his Ph.D. at Delaware in 1975, will speak at
3:15 p.m., Tuesday , Nov. 17, and Wednesday, Nov. 18, in Newark Hall
auditorium on Academy Street in Newark. His topic on both days is
"Delivery of Anti-Cancer Drugs to Tumors: Why Is It Difficult and How
Can We Improve It?" Refreshments will be available before his talks in
102-103 Colburn Laboratory beginning at 3 p.m.
The lectures are free and open to the public.
Formerly professor of chemical and biomedical engineering and
director of the Tumor Microcirculation Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon
University, Jain now holds the position of Andrew Werk Cook Professor
of Tumor Biology at Harvard Medical School, as well as the posts of
director of the Edwin L. Steele Laboratory of Tumor Biology at
Massachusetts General Hospital and professor in the division of health
sciences and technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
His work provided the first quantitative measurements of
microvascular permeability and of interstitial diffusion and covection
in tumors, among many other accomplishments. His work has been
supported by the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer
Institute, the National Science Foundation, W.M. Keck Foundation and
the R.K. Mellon Foundation.
Kurt Wohl (1896-1962) served on the University's chemical
engineering faculty from 1945 until he retired in 1962. His research
areas included PVT and calorimetric properties of gases at high
temperatures, the energetics and kinetics of photosynthesis and, at
Delaware, the thermodynamic properties of mixtures and the kinetics of
combustion processes.
A lectureship to keep his memory and influence alive was
established in the Department of Chemical Engineering in 1973.
