The musical is based on the familiar fairy tale about a prin cess with such sensitivity that she was unable to sleep be cause of a pea underneath twen ty mattresses of her bed. The original production ran for 59 weeks on Broadway and toured the country for two years after the New York closing.

Dr. Milton W. Moore, head of the department of mu sic, is the music director. In discussing the first Broad way raosical to be produced by the Newberry College Theatre, Sanderson commented, “It’s the bigges. thing in every aspect we’ve tried to do, but we’re going to do it. When we fi nish, we’ll have something to be proud of.” The technical side of the pro duction keeps the backstage workers busy during the daily rehearsal periods. Willis and his crews are creating 13 sets to be used in 18 scenery changes and making 40 different cos tumes. Sanderson also pointed out that regular Newberry College Theatre patrons will recognize new faces cn the stage.

The project is a cooperative venture between the National Laboratory for Higher Educa tion (NLHE) and the Depart ment of Physics at the Univer sity of North Carolina at Cha pel Hill; the project is funded by the National Science Foun dation. “Students have a definite image of physics,” Dr. Joseph W. Straley, professor of phy sics at the University of North Carolina and director of the project said, “They think it’s difficult and has little to do with life as it is lived. We hope to change this image,” he said, “by rethinking the way we teach physics. The best effect of the program occurs when the teachers begin inventing their own methods; we give the stimulus for this and any other help we can.” The grant provides $1,000 for laboratory equipment to each college, it is matchea by an equal amount from the college. The 20-member colleges may also use the facilties of the Phv- sics Instrument Shop at the University of North Carolina for the repair and construction of apparatus; participate in sum mer workshops for the local coordinators; and receive con sultation services from the NLHE staff. N. Kibler Williamson, profes sor of physics and mathema tics at Newberry College, is the local coordinator for the pro ject. During the past year, New berry has purchased five so lar observation systems, a ca mera and a telescopic adapter for use on telescopes, audio visual equipment and laboratory supplies with the funds receiv ed from NHLE and the match ing funds from the College’s budget. NLHE was formerly known as the Regional Education Lab oratory for the Carolinas and Virginias.
