' The recent six-inch snowfall in the Back Mountain area made it possible for the campus photographer to get some very beautiful snow: scenes in black and white which means that this year Wilkes-Barre Campus is having a very up-to-date holi- day greeting card to send to friends in the area. This marks the first time that the local campus has been able to capture the breath-taking scenery immediately following the snowfall. In fact, some of the photos were taken before the storm abated: Continuing education direc- tors from neighboring Com- monwealth Campuses attended a two-day conference at Wilkes- Barre Campus last week to dis- cuss future plans and methods that might be of assistance in offering a wider variety of courses to more residents in more convenient locations in their campus areas.

Rob Hare, present assistant director of continuing education at the campus, welcomed his fellow directors at the opening session. Faculty, students, and other personnel at Wilkes-Barre Campus extend their heartfelt sympathy to Edward Dreis- bach, associate professor and program chairman of the Elec- trical Engineering Department at the local campus, whose father died suddenly last Thurs- day. A new book titled Our Six- Legged: Friends And Allies by Hilda Simon has been added to the many books in the collection of animal studies in the Children’s Annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. This book is subtitled ‘Ecology In Your Back Yard,’ and the author! is a well-known naturalist and artist. In this book, she writes about a subject very much in the minds of young people foday: ecology--in this case, the ecology of insects. All insectgire six-legged, but not all of t¥Sn are “friends.” Indeed, is there a back yard anywhere that ‘enemy’ insects have not tried to invade? But in these insect domiciles, as elsewhere in the world of nature, ture tries to regulate itself by a set of checks and balances. Some predatory in- sects are helpful to man because they live off the insects that are the true pests. It is these friends that Miss Simon tells about in Our Six- Legged Friends: the the lacewing fly, College Dispenses Admissions Info Joseph = J.

ALUMINUM 5A wasp; and the flower and Tachina flies. With = her characteristic care and lucidity, she describes their body appearance, their habits, and their lore. Thus the reader learns to recognize the allies and, since chemical = control tends to destroy all insects, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ alike, how to cope with the vital battle of pest control without wiping out both armies. In addition to her highly in- formative text, Miss Simon illustrates her book with drawings that are both meticulously accurate and beautiful. She also provides a valuable glossary of biological terms and diagrams. The book Worms by Lois and Louis Darling is written simply, illustrated beautifully. The first creature a child encounters outdoors may well be a worm. Thus, earthworms seem an apt subject for a beginning science book. Here the noted husband and wife team, Lois and Louis Darling, present the facts about these animals and relate them to the chain of life. First the authors explain the structure of the: earthworm. They then describe its behavior, emphasizing thé way it digs tunnels by swallowing the earth. In this way worms change the soil greatly, loosening and enriching it, which = makes them of inestimable value to mankind. For those who would like to observe earthworms more closely, the authors provide instructions on how to keep them alive in a container. This book is designed in every respect for the youngest reader. It will bring home to him, at an early age, how all living things depend on each other. | ABITIBA SEA: SCAPE Paneling {Vinyl Clad Panels 1 ((4x8-$7.98 to 8.99 Self.
