UNDER THE ACT OE MARCH 3, 1879 Vol. XXXIV Winona State Teachers College, Winona, Minn., April 16, 1953 No. 7 Crowds Expected Today As Doors Open On T.C.'s 1953 Science Day By Lee Krogh Doors opened at 9:00 o'clock this morning on Winona State Teachers College's 16th annual "Science Day." An estimated 2,000 high school and college students as well as townspeople are expected to pass through them before they close at 9 p.m. this evening. The entire faculty and student body of Winona State extends a hearty welcome to them all. Science Day has become one of the highlights of the school year at T.C. ever since the idea was originated by Dr. Minne in 1937. Its purpose, aside from being entertaining and often sensational, is to relate science and its problems to everyday living. The members of the Science Club, which sponsors this annual event, develop their exhibitions with that thought in mind and in that way help insure its success. Each project is a result of months of planning, research, and hard work. The members of each division of science and mathematics, which include geography, chemistry, physics, geology, mathematics, and_biol- ogy, meet with their respective advisors to nominate committees and plan their exhibits. This year's Science Day has an added feature. In addition to the various exhibitions by the various depart- ments, movies will be shown in the auditorium during the day. Another feature will be ushers, who will escort various groups to the exhibits. Visitors may stay as long as they wish at the departments, and other ushers will assist them in finding the exhibit in which they are most interested. Science Day hours are from 9 :00-12 :00 a.m. ; 1 :00-5 :00 p.m. ; and 7:00-9:00 p.m. Harry Buck Pictured are Rachel Kottke and Neil Maillie as they played one of the scenes '4rom last nights performance of "The Heiress" by Ruth More Science Day stories and and Augustus Goetz.
