...does the talking, chemistry students could get their fill of questioning by asking for a second, private meeting with the Dow spokesman, or by using a panel discussion as a format for the open gathering. A group of panelists representing chemistry students, faculty and other student organizations around the university could talk with the Dow representative before throwing the meeting open to questions from the floor. The mechanism would satisfy chemists and structure the program simultaneously...
