Robot Machine Takes Mess
From PUB Java Drinking
A nickle will do many things for PUB-ites soon.
“Deposit coin in Slot. 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-

Doughnuts
As if the coffee machine, which,
PUB legend has it, does every
thing but' starch shirts, isn’t
enough, PUB also lays claim to
tjie only doughtnut vendor on
campus..
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.

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.
