Variety Of Fields Represented
In Lecture Series This Evening

Four speeches, on a variety
of topics, will be given at the
University this evening.

Discussing the new community
college system in Virginia will
be Fred L. Wellman, associate
director of the Virginia Department
of Community Colleges, in
a lecture tonight at 8 p.m. in
Rouss Hall.

Mr. Wellman is responsible for
staffing the new community colleges,
which are opening vast
employment opportunities for
graduate students. The new system
has a master plan calling
for 22 state community colleges
by 1980 and is generating rapid
change in the state's higher education
system.

A British architect, David
Hicks, will discuss the relevance
of the architecture style found
in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
Mr. Hicks has lived in
central Morocco where he became
interested in the Berber
architecture of that area.

"He believes it is important
for modern as well as ancient
architectural study," said Frederick
D. Nichols, University professor
of Architecture. "One
reason is their experimentation
with micro climate, such as
covered streets which are protected
from the weather. Another
reason is their contribution to
world comparative studies." Mr.
Hicks will speak this evening at
8 in Bayly Museum.

"The Origins of Bolshevism"
will be the topic of a speech
by Richard Pipes, professor of
Russian history at Harvard University,
at 8:30 this evening in
the Graduate Lounge.

A leading specialist on the
history of Russia, Professor
Pipes is particularly interested
in the Russian revolutionary
movement, the nationality problem,
and the history of Russian
thought. He is the author and
editor of several books including
"Revolutionary Russia" and
The Russian Intelligentsia."

Mr. Pipes' lecture is sponsored
by the History Club and the
Center for Russian and Communist
Studies.

Dr. Robert S. Bly, associate
professor of chemistry at the
University of South Carolina,
will speak at the University's
chemistry department colloquium
today. His talk, "Solvolytic Reactivity
of Pi-Complex Compounds,"
