State College's lovers of good food used
to say that what State College needed
was a good French restaurant. Judging
from the popularity of the standing
room-only Canton Restaurant, what
everybody really wanted was a Chinese
restaurant.
The Canton Restaurant is one of
several fine new shops in a building on
Calder Alley between Pugh and

A career in iaw--1
without law school.
What can you do with only a bachelor's degree?
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an
undergraduate education and a challenging, respon
sible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do
work traditionally done by lawyers.
. Three months of intensive training can give you
the skills—the courses are taught by lawyers. You
choose one of the seven courses offered—choose
the city in which you want to work.
Since 1970, The Institute for Paralegal Training
has placed more than 1600 graduates in law firms,
banks, and corporations in over 75 cities.
If you are a senior of high academic standing and
are interested in a career as a Lawyer's Assistant,
we'd like to meet you.
Contact your placement office for an interview with
our representative.

McAllister Streets. The restaurant is
simply decorated in tones of rust and
brown, with wicker framing around the
booths and the ceiling lights. It avoids
the gimmickry which mars many
Chinese restaurants in the United States
and it looks exactly like what it is a
family-owned and run establishment.
The restaurant is ceowded virtually all
of the time, so I can offer no suggestions
to avoid the crush except to recommend
an early dinner. Although crowds often
indicate good food in this case they
certainly do they also mean iong
waits. Plan at least two hours for din
ner.
The Canton menu is the largest of the
three Chinese restaurants in town. Soups
include not only the usual won ton (ex
cellent at 60 cents and $1) and egg drop
(at 80 cents, not nearly as good as the
wop ton) but also seaweed, Chinese
vegetable and Won Ton Yaca Mein (80'
cents to $1.50).

Of the appetizers, the fried shrimp
($3.00 for 6) and the egg rolls (70 cents
each) were both excellent. The Canton
excels in batter-fried foods. The shrimp
has a delicate, extraordinarily crisp
batter coating with the sweet taste of
fresh oil. Also first-rate were the fried
noodles the restaurant offers to stave off
hunger until the food arrives. They were
fresh, crsiply fried and irresistable.
The barbecued spare ribs (6 for $3.00),
a small portion, were nonetheless tender
and prepared in a flavorful yet mild
sauce.
The Canton offers , the usual
bewildering array of dishes, most of
them variations on a simple four part
theme of beef, chicken, pork and
seafood. These four ingredients are
available in chop suey (that great
American dish) at $2.25 to $3; in chow
mein from $2.35 to $3.25; and in egg foo
young, $2 to $3.
The major portion of the menu,

however, consists of traditional Can
tonese dishes like Moo Goo Gai Pan
(chicken sauteed with vegetables),
lemon chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork.
These dishes range from $3.25 to $6.00.-
Unless you are eating alone, however,
try one of the house "special dinners"
which combine several of the Cantonese
entrees. House "special number' one,"
for example, includes won ton soup, egg
roll, a fried shrimp, a barbecued
sparerib, CaShew Gai Ding, Sweet and
Sour Pork, Beef Green Pepper, fried rice
and tea or coffee $4.95 each for two or
more persons.
Cashew Gai Ding ($3.50 as an entree
alone) consists of tender chicken cubes
sauteed with water chesnuts, mush
rooms, and vegetables and topped
with cashews. Sweet and Sour Pork
($3.15 as an entree) was among the Can
ton's best; the pork was tender and
surrounded with that wonderfully crisp
and fresh batter used on the shrimp. Also

TV academy boycott halts Emmy show
NEW YORK (UPI) The Emmy Awards presentation will
not be aired as scheduled on May 15 and may be cancelled
altogether, the National Broadcasting System said Thursday.
A network spokesman cited a boycott of the program by
some of the television stars normally expected to appear as
the reason for the possible cancellation.
The boycott is an outgrowth of "an internal split in the
National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences," ac
cording to the network, which Thursday sent a letter to
academy chairman Richard Rector advising him of NBC's,
decision.
The letter from network president Robert T. Howard said,
"We hereby advise you that it will be impossible to broadcast
a night-time Emmy Awards program on May 15, 1977."

food at Canton
on the "special dinner number one" was
Beef Green Pepper, slices of tender beef
in a tangy sauce with green pepper. •
The more dinner companions you
have, the more dishes you can try, so
gather up your friends. If your group is
as many as nine, as ours was, you can
taste nearly two-thirds of the menu.
The Canton serves fried rice with its
special dinners, so if you prefer steamed
rice, order it specially. The portions are
small; three entrees for two persons will
both satisfy hearty appetites and
guarantee a greater choice..
The service is excellent at the Canton,
considering the crowded conditions. The
waitresses are cheery and amazingly
adept at putting more than 10 platters on
a table at a single time. A special touch:
the plates are hot, which helps keep the
quickly-cooling food from turning cold
before the meal is over. - _
The Canton has no wine list, but you
may bring your own. This may be

The original version of 'the
play "A Doll's House" was
written in the 1870's by Henrik

Field chose Fjelde's

class married life.

to postpone the telecast date," Howard said.
• However, he warned, "that unless you can satisfy us by
April 15, 1977 that a program meeting your contractual
obligation can be supplied for telecast, we will have no choice
but to cancel." '
NBC said it has been told that some stars who were sup
posed to appear either in the audience or to present awards
were not planning to be there.
The spokesman said, "It really would not be the same
program without these people."

Rector acknowledged the boycott's impact, but said
negotiations which could resolve the dispute were continuing.
