Benefit Student Dramatic success
Scholarship Fund
A steering committee consisting of Professors
O. Taylor, B. Sherman, E, Ore, Mr. and Mrs.
Tolino and Mr. A. Witham has been formed on
campus for the purpose of creating, developing
and producing a campus variety show which
would raise funds for student scholarships.
Target date for the show is roach, the committee nopes to
the Spring Semester 1969. The
theme of the show will center on
a portrayal of the dynamic growth
of our educational institution
from its inception to the present.
The title of the show is "Grow-ing
Pains." Acts, songs and dance
routines will be based on the
activity in each 10 year interval
from the inception of the first
educational program to the pre-sent.
Hopefully, alumni, faculty
and friends from these 10 year
intervals will contribute anec-dotes,
stories, comments, songs,
poems and jokes that will add
interest and charm to the show.
In addition, the steering comm-ittee
will examine the college
archives and will solicit mater-ial
from all department and div-ision
chairmen. Using this app-have
every department repre-sent-
in the show.
A three-fold purpose exists
for the show. On one hand, this
type of program will promote
good fellowship among faculty,
staff, students and alumn. The
joint efforts of all participants
would lead to increased under-standing
among all people on
our expanding campus. A second
purpose would be to provide an
outlet for expression of talent
that exists on campus. A third
purpose would be to provide funds
for student scholarships. In order
to help make this non-profit ven-ture
a success, you are invited
to send anecdotes, stories, poems
and songs from your experience
at the college to Professor Tay-lor,
department of business.
On December 8,9y 15, and 16,
the Drama Club presented their
first play of the year. Kiss Me
Kate, It was certainly a show
that had something for everycme.
The quality of the play was
excellent for a non-professional
performance. The acting had its
flaws but they were so small
that the audience could hardly
recognize them. The vocal ability
of all involved was highly
polished; the-band, under the di-rection
of Mr. Chifforn, made
up for its Haws, with more of
them.
The leads of the play (Bob
Vernola, Fran Smith, Celeste
Falco ne, and Jimmy O'Connell)
put their all into their perfor-mances.
Bob Vernola as Pe-truchio,
sang by far as good as
any professional, if not better.
Although Fran Smith's voice is of
a high quality, she tended to be
drowned out by the band. Celeste
and Jimmy, cast as the loving
couple, sang appropriately for
the parts they portrayed. (See

£SP And David Hoy Witness Shot
Students Say Ok Hoy!
David Hoy, noted authority and
writer on Extra-sensory percep-tion,
gave an hour demonstra-tion
of his unique talents in the
Little Theatre last Thursday,
as part of the College Union
Board's continued series of dis-tinguished
speakers.
Before an audience of three-hundred
skeptical F&rmingdale
students and several faculty, he
began his talk with a brief ex-planation
and history of ESP.
Following this he used ESP
to indicate how he uses power
on a large assembly of people.
He broadcasted a telepathic com-mand
to the entire audience, cal-ling
upon one card in a pack which
he said was unique. This however,
failed!
Undaunted, he senta suggestion
to a volunteer from the audience.
He called out the ten-of-diamonds
in a pack of 52 cards, as being
the only card that David Hoy
had previously turned over, up-side-
down in the pack.
Afterwards, he was blindfolded
and volunteers from the audience
presented objects from their poc-kets,
to be identified. It was at
this point that most of the au-dience
concluded that ESP does
exist.
One student remarked as she
walked out the door, «'1'11 bet
he had that fella planted in the
audience!" "Then how do you ex-plain
the card phenomenon," re-marked
another student?

office on July 4, 1967. Craig had

prior to this week s inci-pient,
which he feels is conneclerl

Craig had been standing near
Main and Houston St. in Dallas
a s the Presidential motorcade
passed. He testified lo the Com-mi.
ssion thai a f t e r the shots rang
out, he turned and saw a man
s t a r t to run down the hill in the
north side of Elm St. (i.e. the
" G r a s s y Knoll").
This man was described as be-ing
similar in a p p e a r a n c e to Lee
Oswald. Craig said he saw him
g e t t i n g into a car that was driven
by a dark-skinned man and speed
away under the triple underpass.
According to the Warren Re-port,
Lee Oswald is supposed to
have fled on foot in the opposite
direction and no one is supposed
to have been on the knoll.
Craig said that there is ano-t
h e r witness who can corroborate
his testimony, but whose name
cannot be released at present.
Craig is of f u r t h e r significance,
since he met personally vvith Os-wald

office of Sheriff Fritz. He is now

Ad H o c Committee
to End Vietnam
War Chartered
We are living in an age of decisions and con-flicts.
We must decide where we stand on every
important issue which affects us. In a democracy
your opinion should be respected, even if it is
different from anyone else's.
The American involvement in Vietnam has a-roused
many different opinions. This issue has
split the American public into three main groups;
those for, against, and the indifferent. The AD
HOC COMMITTEE FOR PEACE has been organized
by a group of concerned students to enlighten other
students, and to light a fire in the minds of those
who have not decided where they stand.
Any student or member of the faculty who is
interested and wants to become involved is more
than welcome. The Committee is going to have
serious direction meetings and we need the help
of everyone. AD HOC is planning to hold debates
and to bring visiting speakers to our meetings
in the near future.
The AD HOC COMMITTEE will hold a short
but educational meeting on Thursday, December
21st, at 11:00 a.m. in the Roosevelt Hall Lounge.
If you are an interested, alert, forward-thinking
person, we want you. If you have any ideas to
suggest, or want further information, write to
us: Hooper 2, c/o AD HOC COMMITTEE,
