Only standing room remains, with a capacity crowd expected to fill the Experimental Theatre for all ten performances. The dates are February 16 to 25 at 8:20 p.m.

Although he was unable to peg the main attraction factor, Wright said he thought the unusual nature of the play sparked some of the interest.
"It is designed to make you laugh, yet will jerk a tear at the same time," he said.
"The play is a convergence of bits from diaries, memoirs, and newspapers in the midst of the war that was to end all wars," he continued. "Every line in the mu-

Where does an engineer intern?
Before you decide on the job that's to start you on your professional career, it's good to ask a few point blank questions . . . like:
- Will this job let me rub shoulders with engineers doing things that haven't been done before, in all phases of engineering?
- Will I be working for an engineering oriented management whose only standard is excellence?
- Will I have access to experts in fields other than my own to help me solve problems and stimulate professional growth?
- Will I be working with the widest range of professional competence and technological facilities in the U. S.?
- Are engineering careers with this company stable . . . or do they depend upon proposals and market fluctuations?
