Religious Discrimination
In US Postal Service
by Norman Olshansky

satory overtime work for time

To define versatility is to pic

BikeK This is reflected in his
multiplicity of talents: an actor
of stage, screen and television.
One of the world’s most beloved
folk singers and guitarists, and
founder of the 'Newport Folk
Festival, the multi-faceted
entertainer has appeared in con
certs everywhere. He is
probably best known on stage
for his performance as Baron
von Trapp in “The Sound of
Music.” His most well knqwn
screen efforts are “The Defiant
Ones,” “The African Queen,”
“ITie Russians Are Coming, The
Russians Are Coming,” “My
Fair Lady,” and his most recent
film, “The little Ark.”
Reservations will be limited
due to space. Since last year’s
patrons dinner was sold out, we
urge you to make your reser
vations early by calling Dr.
Stephen Ii^shman (537-0220) or
Dr. Gerson Asrael (366-0712).
