#Eberhard Zwergel

Chemistry professor or mad scientist? Eberhard Zwergel may be a little of both. The NU professor is bringing his annual Halloween chemistry show back for its 13th year, putting on performances throughout the day Friday for his four freshman-level classes. The show, “a symphony of chemistry experiments set to music and dancing,” is set to include favorite acts from the past, performances by the Ladycats and the Northwestern Marching Band, and… drumroll… a brand-new MJ tribute.

Don’t scream fire in Tech Auditorium

No, the hordes of students between the front doors of Tech and Sheridan Road weren’t protesting the first day of Intro to Sociology. The crowd was actually due to an evacuation of the building, caused by a faulty smoke alarm that went off in one of the hallways on the basement level of the massive complex, NUPD Sargent Tim Reuss said.

Engineering students milling around outside speculated that perhaps chemistry professor Eberhard Zwergel, “whose job is to blow stuff up,” did just that.

Tech was reopened about thirty minutes later.
