Show Professor of theatre, media arts to speak at convocation EPHRAI- M- Snow College Convocation on Thursday. Oct. 30, will feature Dr. Eric Samuel-seassistant professor of theatre and media arts at Brigham University, in the Snow College Activity Center at 12:30 p.m. The convocation is free and open to the public. Samuelsen will speak on Ibsens "An Enemy of the People, A n, Study of Subversion." Samuelsen, an Ibsen specialist will provide background and insight into An Enemy of the People, a play assigned to all members of the Snow College Learning Community. The play dramatizes the interplay among idealism, practicality and the media, voices which compete in almost any political decision. Ibsens play was first produced more than 100 years ago, yet parallel conflicts which now appear frequently in the news. Environmental conflicts and community issues like development and zoning are other areas in which "quality of life" and "economic may be at odds. Samuelsen sees An Enemy of the People as "subversive" in that it challenges the assumption the government officials know or can decide what is in the public interest. Sometimes, he says, conflicting values - are insurmountable. His discussion will examine various types of subversion in the play.
