Prof. Robert Farson, associate professor of journal- ism, Penn State’s University Park, visited the local campus last Monday to speak to fresh- men and sophmore students on the rudimg#tary principles of documen{@®y journalism. A graduate of Colgate Univer- sity, Prof. Farson has a wide background of experience in broadcasting journalism: with The Pennsylvania State University, he was with the NBC News Department for many years and won the Over- documentary journalism during the early stages of civil rights activity in the South. He is chairman of the broadcast option committee at the Univer- sity and is primarily concerned with courses in public affairs journalism in both radio and television. His recent appearance at the Wilkes-Barre Campus marks one in a period of year-long mass communications speakers series scheduled by members of the mass communications de- partment. Local residents who have missed the recent programs presented by the Cultural Af- fairs Committee of Wilkes- Barre Campus do not realize the entertaining, interesting, and informative presentations available to them at no cost for admission. During the past two weeks, the Wilkes-Barre Campus Drama Players presented three short subjects on two oc- casions—the first Jan. 16, and the second time the evening of Jan. 24. The ond&ct plays were original, and were written, produced and enacted by members of the club and in- cluded the following: All Laugh, a composite by members of the club; BlackOut, a scene on the street by Mike Bobella; Just the Beginning, a social satire by Tom Steve; and one-act plays, I'm Here...Waiting, male- female confrontation by Mike Bobella; Soliloquy: Alone on Sunday (thoughts) by Mike Bobella and enacted by Gavin Moses; and Morning, Frank, (staged back in the dorm) written by Gavin Moses and presented by Jack Kelly and Mike Bobella. Also taking part in the productions was Francie: Buczynski, coed student. Advisors @ the Drama Club are Professors Walter Royal, G.G Gregory, and Edward Anderson, oun the students write, direc and produce their own’ programs. On Jan. 23 at 7 p.m., two films, All Quiet on the Western Front and A Face of War, were presented in the main assembly students and area residents. It is regrettable that more people were not present to view these entertaining and educational presentations which were also free to the public as a service of the local campus of the University.
