"The Treasure of the Great
Reef" about the successful ex
pedition undertaken in 1963 by
Clarke and others in search of a
sunken ship in Ceylon, where
they discovered a ton of silver
coins.
Clarke is a graduate of King's
College, London, with First Class
Honors in Physics and
Mathematics. He is past
Chairman of the British Inter
planetary Society and a member
of the Academy of Astronautics,
The Royal Astronomical Society,
and other scientific
organizations.
In the face of all these at
tainments, Arthur C. Clarke is
not one to lose his sense of humor
and balance. Rather, he has
come up with a witty truth that he
once called "Clarke's Law." This
is: "When a distinguised but
elderly scientist states that
something is possible, he is
almost certainly right. When he
states that something is im
possible, he is very probably
wrong."

SGA
Election
Rally
An election rally for the Student
Government Association Scan
didates was held in the Reed
Student Union Building Tuesday
night, October 12, at 7:30 for
clarification of the candidates
ideas and plans for the SGA.
Candidates were questioned as
to their ideas on such topics as the
feasibility of community in
volvement, the number of blacks,
on campus, and the organization
of the SGA itself.
The main problems cited by the
candidates include apathy on
campus, lack of communication
between commuters and
residents, campus isolation, the
limited black population and its
accompanying problems,
visitation hours, the relative
power of SGA, athletic apathy,
the lack of social activities, the
quality of education, and Behrend
pollution.
Joe Zani„
. (4-LA -Kersey) Vice
President of SGA, stated, "the
turnout of students was- very
depressing, viewing the number
of students on campus. Some of
the people should have been
running for the Student Union
Board."
Fantastic
Voyage
Fantastic Voyage, with Raquel
Welch, Arthur Kennedy, and
Edmond O'Brien, will be showing
at 7 and 9 p.m.Sunday, October
24, in the RUB lecture hall. The
price of admission will be 35 cents
for students with activity cards
and $i for other students.
Fantastic Voyage is the story of
a famous scientist who is so
severely wounded by enemy
agents that surgery is impossible.
Combined Miniature Deterrent
Forces (CMDF), a super-secret
organization, is called on to
shrink men and equipment to
microbe size so they can work
from inside the scientist's brain to
repair the injury. A new atomic
sub is shrunk as are its five
passengers and injected into the
bloodstream, working its way to
the brain with a time limit of 60
minutes. The technical wizardry
is a brilliant projection in this
science fiction film of the inner
man.
