Chemical Society the profes-

attended the meeting
Powell said their presenta-
tions were about a new area
of research involving testing
new compounds that make
reactions go twice as fast and
arc environmentally friendly
"Very often In chemical
industry wc use liquids to
dissolve compounds that arc
very often toxic and bad for
the environment" said Dr
Perry Reeves professor of
chemistry "Wc arc looking
for a safer liquid a new class
of compounds called ionic
liquids that dont boll off
make chemical reactions
faster and arc safer for the
environment "
This area of research has
been around for five )cars
and the new compounds
might be used in chemical
plants in the future Reeves
said

he said
Hams said he hopes more
college students will take the
opportunity to see the group
perform
"Ticket sales are going kind
of slow right now" he said "It
could be that college students
tend to wait until the last
submarine and battleships
follow the carrier and the
sheer number of people
aboard the carrier makes it an
unlikely target
