WQED-TV will air two half-hour programs written by drama students at Carnegie Mellon University. The shows will air at 8 p.m. Thursday under the umbrella title "Collision Course."

"Love Chance" is a drama about a counselor challenging her own emotional demons. "The Work of 50 Men" is based on the invention of Eli Whitney's cotton gin and its effect on the lives of 18th-century slaves.
