Ten Little Indians , Studio Theatre
The Studio Theatre’s presentation of Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians will
begin on Friday, October 20, at 8:00 p.m. in the Studio Theatre. Tickets are
on sale at the RUB Desk, at $3 for students and $5 for the general public.
on October 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, and
in October 22 and 28 at 2:30 p.m.
This mystery-comedy is set on
in island off the coast of Devon,
England. Eight unsuspecting
guests have been invited for a
weekend retreat to the Owens
home, though none of the guests
have ever met their hosts. Nor have
the guests ever met each other.
Even more bizarre, the household
.ervants have never met their em
ployers. And so commences a hu
morously baffling weekend that
will soon turn bloody.
The title for the play is derived
Torn ten Indian statuettes that are
. nuddled on a mantle in the house.
Shortly after all the guests arrive, one of the statues falls from the mantle and
breaks. Immediately afterward, one of the guests dies. And then there were
nine.
The remaining guests must decipher the clues left for them to determine
who will be the next to fall, and why. Little by little they will fit the pieces
together, but they may not be quick enough. Who will be the “one little
Indian boy, left all alone?”
Tickets for Ten Little Indians are $3 for students and $5 for the general
public. To reserve your seat, please call the RUB Desk at 6242.

POET LINDA HOGAN COMMENCES NEW SPEAKER SERIES
Poet, novelist, and essayist Linda Hogan will be the first speaker of the
newly created Diversity Through Poetry Series at Penn State Erie, The Behrend
College. Hogan will present "Solar Storms” on Monday, November 6, at
7:00 p.m. in the Reed Union Building Commons. This event is free and open
to the public.
Hogan, a Chickasaw poet and professor at the University of Colorado, has
taught writing workshops at various universities and Indian and rural
communities. Some of her most notable commendations include a National
Endowment for the Arts grant, a Guggenheim fellowship, a Minnesota Arts
Board Grant, and a Colorado Writers fellowship.
“Linda Hogan has wrapped wonder and magic around some brutal American
truths. Neither magic nor truth is diminished by the association,” wrote Los
Angeles Times writer Barbara Kingsolver of Hogan’s 1990 novel, Mean Spirit.
The novel was one of three finalists for a Pulitzer Prize in 1991.
Solar Storms is a more recent novel by Hogan, written in 1995. It is the
story of a young Native American woman in the 1970 s who, while searching
for her mother, finds herself caught between the worlds of her birth and of her
ancestry.
Other works by Hogan include Seeing Through the Sun , The Book of
Medicines, and a collection of sixteen essays titled Dwellings: Reflections on
the Natural World.
SKILLS YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
The Fall Leadership Conference will be held on November 11-12 at Peek
N’ Peak. The theme for this year’s conference is “Skills You Need to Suc-
ceed.”
This year the conference will be run differently than in the past. Those
organizing the conference are looking for students to demonstrate their lead
ership skills by presenting a topic at one of the group sessions. Those inter
ested should contact the Office of Student Activities.
Also, there is still room for students who simply want to attend. There is a
$lO registration fee. Again, contact the Office of Student Activities for more
information at 6171.

7:30 p.m. —Astronomy Open House Night, Light and Color,
Science 101
Dr. Jonathan Hall, instructor of physics, will lecture on “Light and Color”
on Thursday, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. His presentation, part of the Open
House Night in Astronomy Series, will take place in Science 101. The lecture
is free and intended for a non-technical audience.
Why do newborn babies have blue eyes? Why do most stars appear color
less to our eyes, but are vibrantly colorful in photographs? Why do leaves
turn colors in the fall? These questions and many more will be addressed by
Hall in his presentation.
He will explain how colors exist in nature and how the human eye per
ceives color. Knowledge of these processes is used in many professions and
applications; artists, decorators, printers, and web page designers all make
use of this knowledge on a daily basis.
Weather permitting, there will be astronomical observing following the lec
ture. For more information, contact the School of Science at 6105.
