Parents' Day Sunday The annual Parents' Day program will take place on Sunday, November 10. 1963 at Behrend Campus. This year there will be an open house from 2 p.m. til 4 p.m. in the Otto F.

Parents will have received the student's mid-term grades by this time or, if they have not, the faculty will have them, and will be avail able for consultation between 2 and 4. Although staff members will be on hand from 2 til 4, we strongly urge that parents arrive before 3:30. Refreshments will be served in the lobby between 2 and 4 p.m Both the Botany lab and the Chemistry labs will be open, and Dr. Elizabeth Smith, assistant professor of Zoology, has expressed a marked interest in meeting the parents of all her students. All teachers welcome the chance to meet the parents and students should urge their parents to confer with their professors.
