Press Button opposite drink desired,” and presto coffee comes out of a cream and brown box standing in the rear of- the PUB. ■ , v This contraption, manufactured by a Chicago vending machine company, is rather clever to say the least. You not only get coffee from the thing, But you'can get 1 four-styles of coffee black cof fee with sugar, black coffee with out sugar, coffee with 'cream, and even java with cream and sugar. Robot Decides Red buttons on., the left hand side of the machine help the robot decide what to serve. All that has to be done by human hands is deposit aforementioned coin. What coin? Our v automaton cares not-a dime, a quarter, or just. a plain old-fashioned nickel for the puninitiated or the unin quisitive. Making like a slot ma chine, the thing throws out nickels or dimes with reckless abandon— <- if someone puts a dime or quarter in the slot. ' . 'Take Yer Chance* Otherwise “ye pays your money and yer cherce.” A paper cup drops down into the slot, the steaming java pours. Lift the plexi-glas cover and make off with the prize. Should over-eager hands spill some of the . machines product, a pail beneath the. contraption catches the overflow. Once this pail is full, the machine, shuts off by itself and wil dispense no more until the pail is emptied. All the mixing is done insidq the machine before the coffee is dropped into the cup. A mixing bowl on top of the spout collects hot water, powdered cream, sugar, and the coffee used by the ma chine. After whirling the ingred- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE!

This I machine / looks compara tively harmless beside the impres sive bulk of the java robot but, nevertheless it does an efficient job. Operation here is simple. All you do is put a nickle in the slot (which gives you no chance to make like a jackpot winner) pull one of four levers for two kinds of doughnuts, and your work is done. Four windows display the doughnuts—sugar coated or plain —and pulling the lever ' simply knocks off a package of two into a slot which, in turn, relays the merchandise to the purchaser. Completing the unholy triangle of automatons in the back of the recreation room is a sharp-shoot ing machine-for the more violent members of Pollock. A tramp runs around on a little track. The object is to shoot a light ray into a little glass window in the arm of the bum, thus registering a score. The only. requirements are a nickle and a good eye.

Popular Star Bids Adieu To Penn State Stage Career The Penn State stage career of June Williams will end Satur day night with the final curtain of the latest Players production, “Ah, Wilderness”, a comedy by Eugene O’Neill. Miss Williams will play the feminine lead role of Mrs. Miller in the new -attraction at Schwab Auditorium, slated for tonight, Friday, and Saturday nights. The small town of Walnutport, Pa., is the birthplace of this brown-haired .actress who had little prior to her en rollment at Penn State. This lim ited experience came during her teen-age years at Slatington High School, located on the outskirts of Allentown. Superb Job Once settled here, it didn’t take June too long to get an “in” with the dramatic department, and in 1947 she was cast in- the role of “Cybel” in “Great, God Brown.” Added laurels were won during that same jmar when she turned iii a superb job playing the role of “Ellen” in the-Players staging of “Ladies in Retirement.” June is extremely fond of dra matic portrayals and is usually cast in middle-aged women’s parts. Still gazing back on an awe some career, June remembers her portrayal of Mrs. Morgan in the production of “Ten Nights’ in a Barroom” in 1948.- She finished up that semester with an extremely commendable job in “Da’rk of the Moon,” when she portrayed “Mrs. Alpha Tau Alpha Initiates 31 The ETA chapter of Alpha Tau Alpha,, the Professional Agricul ture Education Fraternity, last night initiated 31 new members at the Delta Theta house.

By LOWELL KELLER Allen.” . The Town and Nine .actors group, to which many of our col lege portrayers belong, while on the campus during the summer, contacted Miss Williams, who was cast in the part of “Edith” in “Blithe Spirit.” In her own group, too, June is extremely active. She was named on the Players Board of Control as Senior Make-up Manager. She is also a member of Theta Alpha Phi, the honorary dramatic so ciety. Knowing all this about June Williams, students will probably want to see her in many more shows on and around the campus. But, as the old adage- goes, “all good things must come to an end,” and as far as June is concerned, this is her last fling. She still may be seen, however, after she leaves the Nittany Val ley, for we believe that her name will be featured in many more plays, perhaps even on the Big \yhite Way. But right now, catch June in “Ah, Wilderness.” Tickets can be purchased at Student Un ion. Somers; William G. Stone; Ward M.\ Stover; William R. Swines burg; Raymond E. Tribby; Arnold G.
