OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATION BEHREND CAMPUS—Pennsylvania State University Administration News HIGHLY RATED COMEDY SLATED FOR ERIE HALL RUN MARCH 11,12,13 Interest In Jazz Shown At Behrend On Tuesday evening, February 17th, the newly-formed Behrend Jazz Club held its first official meeting in Erie Hall. Jack Raeder was elected president, Linda Roth, -secretary, and Bob Edwards, trea surer; Mr. Hover is the faculty advisor. The Behrend club plans to be affiliated with the Jazz Club at State, according to a plan of the University to co-ordinate the ac tivities of the outlying campuses with those of -the main campus. Instead of meeting every time on campus, the members have de cided to divide into groups which would concentrate on a certain type of jazz and meet together in a private home. A discussion meeting for the whole club would then be held during Common Hour, whenever possible. Famous lecfurer To Speak Tomorrow Tomorrow, Feb. 26, during the common hour at 11:00, the stu dent body of the Behrend Campus will have the opportunity of hear ing one of the most inspirational and dynamic speakers of our day.

Those are the lusty vocal chords of Grace Rowland as she realistically portrays a scene from “Junior Miss,” " production which is to be pre sented there on March 11, 12 and 13 by the Behrend Players, camp us dramatics group. The highly rated comedy re volves about the lively imagina tion of Judy Graves, as she ana her yonrr friend, Fluffy Adams, create a fanciful “disaster” which threatens Judy’s life. The harassed Mr. Graves; blus tering J. B. Curtis, employer of Mr. Graves; Ellen Curtis, demure, obedient daughter of J. B.; Willis Reynolds, long-lost brother of Mrs. Graves, and Lois Graves, older sister of Judy, all become entangled in the surprising chain of events. Hilarious chaos and confusion are the results. The cast, which has been re hearsing diligently for the past two weeks under the direction of Mr. Lane, is as follows: Harry Graves, John Polko; Grace Graves, Grace Rowland; Hilda, the maid, Linda Roth; Lois Graves, Gail Anderson; Judy Graves, Linda Dickey; Fuffy Adams, Pat Wachtel; J.
