Box Seat by Ron Bowers "Sweet Bird of Youth," one of Tennessee Williams' lesser plays about the decadent South, has a terrific impact in the screen version. Written and directed by Richard Brooks ("Elmer Gantry"), the story is enlarged by flashbacks and has a less sordid ending than the play, but otherwise it follows the original plot. It is a good "adult" film and the performances are excellent. Geraldine Page and Paul Newman splendidly re-enact the roles they played on Broadway. Miss Page's performance is one of the finest I have ever seen. She runs the gamut of human emotions — lustfulness, fear, desperation, suffering of physical pain, arrogance, lack of confidence, self-loathing, contempt. elation, etc. — and never falters throughout the films. She un-' doubtedly will be one of the leading Oscar-condenders next year. Ed Begley, Shirley Knight and Rip Torn support the stars with notable acting. A friend of mine who is traveling in Europe, wrote me from Capri that while in Rome, her cousin (vice-president of 20th Century-Fox) arranged for her to have lunch with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and to visit the closed set of "Cleopatra." The sequence she saw filmed was of Cleopatra on her barge and from what I understand, even though the film may not be released for some time, it will be worth seeing. Sfucfenfs Express Greatest Need For Classroom Space, Dormitory A classroom building and a dormitory, especially a women's, are needed on this campus before any other building, according to 27 students who were asked what kinds of buildings they thought should be constructed first. A story in the Nov. 6 edition of the Eagle Eye noted that construction for both a c l a s s r o o m building and a women's dormitory m a y start in the spring. Classrooms and dormitories each were mentioned by 17 of those queried. Of the 17 dorm requests, however, 11 specified a women's dormitory. Of next importance, according to the polled students, were an athletic field or stadium ( 7 ) ; a union building ( 7 ) ; a dining hall ( 5 ) ; a gymnasium ( 3 ) ; an administration building ( 3 ) ; a library ( 3 ) ; and a science building ( 2 ) . Other proposals were a campus school, a recreation hall, a language laboratory and a swimming pool. Some of the replies as to what buildings LHSC needs first follow: Mary Jane Berry: "I think we need new classroom facilities. The present classrooms of Sullivan are crowded and in many of them plaster is falling, blackboards are cracked, and the lighting is terrible." Jim DiBella: __"Classroom buildings. The present ones display a drab atmosphere. Sue Hall: "I think we need most a new gymnasium, a new girl's dorm, more playing fields for practicing varsity sports, our own football field and stands, a new pool with more and better seating capacity, a new administration building with classrooms and cafeteria. Our first building project, however, should be a new girls' dorm."

Four State colleges have been asked to organize such programs. In addition to Indiana, West Chester will organize the French junior year abroad, Millersville the German, and Kutztown the Russian.

Secondly, I would be in favor of giving Thomas Field House a new coat of paint. We also need a new student. Ed Journey: "A new union building because the present one is too small and crowded. A recreational hall for studying between classes and for socializing. High Hall should be removed and we should get an athletic field of our own." ng should be used for its original purpose, not for offices and classes that have no connection with special education.

State to Give 2 Scholarships The N a t h a n C. Schaeffer Memorial Fund will provide, to two Pennsylvania teachers, a scholarship amounting to $500 for a year of advanced study in e d u c a t i o n , Dr. Charles H. Boehm, superintendent of public instruction, announced. The scholarship is awarded through the State Council of Education and applications must be filed with the department on proper forms not later than June 1. The applicant must be a citizen of Pennsylvania at the time the award is made, a teacher, and the holder of a baccalaureate degree from any college recognized by the State Council of Education. Application forms may be secured by writing to Dr. Lester F. Johnson, director of the Bureau of Higher Education, Box 911, Harrisburg. Bonnie Pentz: "The classrooms in Sullivan are not exactly as large and pleasant as they could be. There is also danger of fire, especially in the art rooms." Ray W a r d "I feel that proper living quarters for all should be acquired first for academic atmosphere. We need a new library badly because of crowded conditions throughout and thus the system is hampered." Gary Steel: "The library is the most urgently-needed building. Now it is virtually impossible to get periodicals during the day. Also, the crowded conditions all over the library leave much to be desired.'' Ron Laird: "Sullivan is a grand old building, but I feel it has long outlived its usefulness. When attending a class in Sullivan a person feels like he is going into a dungeon." iSoak ^"l/ip tSun THE EAGLE EYE Lock Haven State College Lock Haven, Pa.
