Rubber Test Laboratory To Open Soon
An opportunity to see a rubber research and testing laboratory in operation will be given Summer Session, students and faculty members Wednesday afternoon.
The TLARGI Rubber Technology Foundation on the southwest corner of W. 36th Place and Hoover Street will be open from 3 to 5 p.m., according to Dr. Harry L. Fisher, director.
“It will be possible for visitors to get a glimpse of the entire operation of a rubber factory by coming to the laboratory,” said Dr. Fisher, visiting professor of chemical engineering who is this year’s president of the American Chemical Society.
“Samples of natural and synthetic rubber will be shown, how they are mixed in the Banbury mixer and on the mixing rolls and then vulcanized and finally tested.
“We are not actually equipped to make automobile tires, but visitors will be able to understand how they are made.’'
Testing equipment in the School of Engineering building will also be in operation. Here samples of rubber are vulcanized, aged and tested in various pieces of apparatus.
The laboratory was established by The -Los Angeles Rubber Group Inc., (TLARGI). Los Angeles is second only to Akron in the manufacture of rubber products.

Exotic Dancer Will Perform Wednesday
Chet Milar, SC graduate student who calls himself an ethnic dance ecectic, will give a free performance of his "Around the World with Dance” Wednesday night in Bovard Auditorium. Program will begin at 8:30.
Milar will perform dance numbers from Mexico, West Indies, Spain, Ceylon, North Africa, and other countries. In his dances he will show the similarities in the dances of the various countries.
Professional
Milar is presently working toward his PhD in speech. He has received both his BA and MA at SC. He has been a professional dancer for many years performing in motion pictures on television, and on the stage.
He has also done night club shows with a routine similar to the one he will show Wednesday night.
Milar calls himself an ethnic (culture) dance eclectic (pick or choose). In other words, he performs various dances from different cultures.
Similarities
“I do not want to show the strangeness but the similarities of all these dances,” Milar said. “I was a translator in the army, and I found that there are certain gestures that signify the same thing to all races, for instance eat. Likewise many different countries have striking similarities in their dances, these similarities I will point out.”
An assistant will deliver a predance narration so the audience will'better understand what is happening.
Authentic
The costumes that Milar will wear are his own. In all cases they are as close to actually native costumes as possible.
In explaining his unique program, Milar says, “All people have basic similarities, and one of these similarities is in dance. Speech confuses the issue. Yet we all feel hunger, pain, etc., and it is these similarities that I will stress.”
