three-day stay in New York and
Newark, N.Y. as guests of the Bell

The three students. Don Ans
trom, Bill Sample, and Chuck
Schaff, all majors in drafting and
design technology, were invited on
the visit by Bell Labs' officals in
conjuction wiith the company's
recruting program for engineering
technologists. All expenses, inclu
ding transportation, meals, and
hotel bills were paid by Bell Labs.
Six other associate degree stu

Another student, Vince Cerr

of the labs.
Each of the six students is sched
uled to graduate this spring and
has been interviewed by several
other companies in addition to
those mentioned here.
The fact that these students
were invited on these visits does
not necessarily mean that they
will be hired by or must accept
any job offering made by the
companies concerned.
and Cromosones
Recent student donations to
the Behrend Zoology Department
have enhanced the display value
of the lab, according to Dr.
Elizabeth Smith, associate pro
fessor of zoology,
"Donna Roth, Harvey Smith.
Carol Hubiak, and Phyllis Gross
have donated 336 desoxyribo
nucleoproteins that are essential
to every human being. Bob Nevel
has given me some of his bones.
which he no longer needs, and
Carl Carver brought me some of
his friends, uh, fossils. Sue Keen
brought me a highly polished
lens, 'the better to see you
with!' " said Dr. Smith.
"We are grateful for the in
terest shown in our science de
partment and hope it continues."
sighed Dr. Smith as she put her
skeleton back in the closet.
CAMPUS DARKROOM
OPENS
Oh, I know this stirring title
compels you readers to let out
with a rousing cry of joy, but if
you can contain your ecstacy for
a moment, I'll elaborate. No, the
dark room is not the long awaited
Behrend Night Club so you can
cancel your Saturday night reser
vations, (unless you hold a key).
The faculty had considered the
alternative of a Night Club but
decided, after much deliberation,
that there was a greater need for
developing photographs. So, dear
reader, let us have no more de
featist talk about the interest in
student welfare that our fair ad
ministration has.

Takes
Action
all dormitory women, were sus
pended on the grounds that they
had brought alcoholic beverages
into the girls' dormitory—a direct
violation of University regulations.
Their suspension was deferred,
however, until the Spring Term
to enable them to complete the
Winter Term.
One of the two male students
suspended must wait until the Fall
Term to apply for readmission.
The other may apply after the
completion of the present term.
Approximately 20 other female
students from the dormitory were
indicted for drinking these alcoho
lic beverages within the dormi
tory or within the limits of the
Behrend Campus—also an infrac
tion of University regulations.
Each of these girls war s placed
on suspended suspension and dis
ciplinary probation until the end
of the Winter Term.
"Androcles and the Lion"
Is Spring Production
George Bernard Shaw's
Androcles and the Lion will be
this season's Spring Term produc
tion of the Behrend players under
the direction of Benjamin A. Lane
dean of student affairs. The play
will be presented May 6,7, and 8,
in room 101 of the Otto F.. Beh
rend Science Building.
Androcles and the Lion deals
with the martyrdom of the early
Christians in the Rome of Cae
sar's time. The comedy revolves
around the friendship between a
shy, hen-pecked little tailor and a
lion straight out of the forest; a
beautiful, young Christian girl and
the Captain of the Roman Guard;-
a great, behometh of a man who
wants to be humble but only suc
ceeds in fighting back against
his persecutors and a poor fool
who believes all his sins will be
forgiven if he is martyred.
Casting began Thursday, Feb
rurary 28, at Common Hour in
room 101 of the Otto F. Behrend
Science Building. At that time
both female parts 'were cast but
a need for male actors still exists.
There is no starring part, but each
of the remaining parts offer a
wide range of characterizations.
Dean Lane urges any and all boys
who are interested in this produc
tion to see him immediately. Re
hearsals cannot commence until
the play is completely cast.
