W. Scott Wood, professor
of psychology, taught an invited graduate seminar for the Department of Psychology
at the University of Nevada, Reno. The seminar topic was "Skinner and Wittgenstein:
Perspectives on Language." He also presented a colloquium for UNR psychology
faculty and students titled "A Recent History of Behaviorism."
Ed Bell,
associate professor of pharmacy practice, has been named to the editorial boards
of The Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics and The Annals
of Pharmacotherapy.
On August 8-10 and
14-16, the Brown Couch Theatre Co. presented "Kickin'
It Old Skool," a bill of 10 new plays that included "The Gimme-a-Break
Room," a new one-act play by William S.E. Coleman, professor emeritus of
theatre arts. The plays were presented at the Piven Theatre in Evanston, Ill.
In
establishing the company, seven 2000 graduates of Drake theatre arts - Allison
Moody, Cory Fowkes, Heather Brown, Jenny Fouts, Kate Finch, Micky York and Ryan
Magnuson - wrote in their charter that they have combined their professional
experiences with their "common education to create the Brown Couch Theatre
Co., as an extension of the safe environment (first conceived in the years of
Professors Doc Coleman and Mike Barton) that allowed us to explore, experiment
and create." Coleman has been invited to serve on the company's board of
directors. The theatre company is named for a
tattered brown couch that resided for many years in the Harmon Fine Arts Center.

Anderson Erickson
Dairy recently introduced a new ice cream developed in honor of former Iowa Gov.
Robert D. Ray, BN'52, LW'54, president
emeritus of Drake. "Gov.
Bob Ray's Capitol Crunch" is vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate swirls
and chocolate crispy crunches. Anderson Erickson is donating a portion of the
sales from "Capitol Crunch" to the Easter Seals Society of Iowa. Ray,
one of Iowa's noted ice cream lovers, and his wife, Billie, ED'50, have been
longtime supporters of Easter Seals. The organization, which helps children cope
with disabilities, recently honored the Rays by dedicating the Bob and Billie
Ray Child Development Center at the Easter Seals Iowa's Camp Sunnyside north
of Des Moines. The Rays also have been honored by the Blank Park Zoo, which combined
their first names in naming a baby giraffe Billie-Bob.
