All members will be able to use the darkroom in the first floor of Duke Science building during school hours. With the S5 fee the club plans to buy all the necessary equipment and chemicals to allow each member to process and print his or her own film. Since there are many people who are interested in learning about photography, the president, Mike Grosh, plans to keep an account of the members' experience and to allow for inexperienced people to have a knowledgeable person with them while they are in the darkroom. The officers for the club are president, Mike Grosh; vice president, Vanessa Bivens; and secretary-treasurer, John Ransone. Dr. Frank Harris is serving as adviser. Beer used in class studies by George R. McNeill The drivers education class taught by Coach D. Brown had a special treat on Oct. II. A policeman from the Buriington City Police Department gave the class a demonstration of the Breathalyser machine used in detecting the alcoholic content in the blood stream. The policeman gave the class an illustrated lecture in the first half of class on the problems of drinking and driving and the effects of alcoholism. The second half of class was devoted to demonstrating the Breathalyser machine. Before the class. Coach Brown had purchased two 12% beers to be used in the demonstration. A student in the class. Bill Fowler, was used as ‘guinea pig.” When the policeman gave the signal. Bill was asked to come into the room. He was instructed to walk a straight line, touch his nose, and other tests which are used in detecting a drunken driver. Bill completed all successfully with the exception of touching his nose the last time. When finally he was asked to blow into the breathalyser machine, the machine registered .4 on the scale which is insufficient to be considered under the influence of alcohol.
