PLAY ON PAPER: All Powers Necessary and Convenient, a play by Drama Professor Mark Jenkins, has been published by UW Press. The play, based on real events at the UW in 1948, tells the story of an investigation into the alleged communist activity of several professors, three of whom were later fired. The play was produced on campus two years ago to mark the 50th anniversary of the hearings.
