Burning
Explosions that burn at 3,000 degrees Celsius and gases being lighted on fire are just ordinary events in Grover Everett's class.
By
Everett, 56, has been teaching at the University of Kansas for 31 years. A professor of chemistry, he has been lighting things on fire here for almost that long.
for reaction
"The first eight or 10 years that I was teaching here I didn't do any experiments." Everett said.
Everett said that as a young chemist, he often would try to emulate Clark Bricker, who was a

on my own, "I ever evert. "But usually the first time I would try it they wouldn't work, and I would have to ask Bricker to explain them to me."
Blowing things is up not to Everett. Now,
however, he isn't catching as many things on fire.
"My father was a chemistry professor, and I would often play in my dad's lab," he said. "I loved that with chemistry you could do things and get immediate colorful results. I remember that I set the house on fire trying to grow sugar crystals. I also set the grass outside of my high school on fire, and they had to evacuate the school. I was doing something in chemistry class, and I was holding it outside the window at the time."
Luckily, since he has been at the University there have not been any major fires during classes.
"I once did an experiment with gaseous chlorine and wasn't able to shut it off because the nozzle was corroded," he said. "Since chlorine is a poisonous gas, we had to leave. I don't do that one anymore."
That was not even his largest or most dangerous experiment at the University.
"The largest experiment I've done was for the Budig Hall dedication where I blew up a large balloon with a pumpkin painted on it," he said. "But the most dangerous was a thermite reaction, which throws sparks and reaches 3000 degrees

Celsius. It's very hot and melts iron."
"In the recent years, he hasn't done that sort of thing," said Carolyn Everett, his wife. "But he does have a creative approach to solving problems and was always very creative with our children."
But in the classroom, anything still goes.
"He's adventuresome," said Leigh March, Lawrence junior. "He's a great chemistry professor. He puts a lot into it, and he
He puts a lot into it, and he tries to make chemistry interesting. His experiments add a lot to the class." Everett originally had set his sights for the court.
Just as his son has followed his ambition in astronomy, Everett has followed his father in chemistry and athletics.
"I wanted to be an astronomer," he said.
"When I was in the third grade, I used to go around to the other classes and give lectures on astronomy. But I ended up in chemistry, and my son became the astronomer."
His father held a world record in track and indoor hurdles. Everett also runs, but he said he had not inherit his father's speed.
Everett had an athletic scholarship to the University of North Carolina for track and cross country. He still runs more than 100,000 kilometers per year. He rides bicycles and swims. He competes in orienteering, in which participants use a compass and map to find objects in the woods.
"There's not very much competition when you get to be my age." he said.
Last year, he won the Lone Star triathlon in his age group.
Even with this much going on in his life, Everett's philosophy is simple.
"Choose what you want to do carefully and do your very best at the things you choose," he said.
