Reibman in her bid for the United States Senate. The unsnin^ous vote took "l?-ce during the Association's second statewide conference of the 1975-76 academic year, held November 21 and 22 at Edinboro State College, When asked why the CAS voted to support Senator Reibman, CAS Executive Director responded that "Senator Reibman's contributions toward the maintenance and upgrading of the Pennsylvania State Colleges and University are unmatched throughout the Commonwealth. As Chairperson of the Senate Education Committee, Senator Reibman has worked diligently to help the state college student. Her sponsorship of the PHEAA Program is just one of her many accomplishments. Certainly, she deserves our support." During their statewide conference, the CAS also laid the groundwork for a tuition strike. Participating students are depositing their Spring tuition into an escrow account as part of their plan to bring attention to the plight of the state colleges that has resulted ft'om the retrenchment and cutbacks initiated by the Shapp Administration.

By LARRY SCHMIDT News Editor When someone ft'om within the college community writes their own play, it's worth looking into. Last week 1 had the opportunity to see a preview of "Shelley," an original one-act play written by student Dan Keefer, which will ue presented later this week.

"Shelley" revolves around the mental breakdown of a young girl in the midst of a reader's theater performance. Evans, haunted by memories of the past through her alter-ego, played by Donna Hazen. Eventually Shelley consults a psychiatrist, played by Jolene Borgese. This brings into action Shelley's mother, Ann Aycock, an old high school chum named Phil, played by Chuck Andrus, and two other high school friends from the past, Joe Pagana and Lori Jordan. David C. Heveriy makes an appearance as Shelley's drama coach. What makes the play a success is the balance it strikes between what is told to the audience, and what is left to the imagination. "Shelley" is neither confusing nor too self-explanatory. "Shelley" has what is fast becoming a distinctive quality: it is worthwhile following the play's action to its conclusion. Particularly effective is the multi-leveled dialogue going on between Shelley and her psychiatrist, and that of Shelley with the characters in her own imagination. The interchanges reflect the dual worid Shelley is living in. "Shelley" is being directed by Lawrence Lebin. Bev Ungriet is serving as stage manager, while Joe Pagana and Gary Mazzu have design- Performances are scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in Sloan 321.
