Cape Cod Area Offers
Summer J ob Possibilities
The resort areas of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, and the offshore
islands of Martha’s Vineyard and
Nantucket are experiencing a
growing problem in finding sum
mer employees to properly ser
vice a rapidly expanding tourist
and convention industry.
While seasonal jobs will be
scarce this summer. Cape Cod
and the Islands will be offering
over 55,000 good summer jobs in
1983. Most require little or no
prior experience.
Because it is impossible to fill
these jobs with local residents,
most of whom make up the year
'round work force, it is necessary
to draw heavily from other
geographic areas to satisfy this
seasonal need.
As in the past several years,
the Cape Cod Summer Job
Bureau has coorinated an effort
to assemble all pertinent facts on
available summer employment
and has published this informa
tion in a concise directory of sum
mer job opportunities listing over
100 categories, and some of which
follow:
Lifeguards, swimming in
structors, beach maintence;
camp counselors, craft instuc-
tors; island ferry crews, deep sea
fishing party boats, scenic
railroad crews; yacht clubs,
marina work, sailing instructors,
charter cruises, scuba diving,
salvage work, etc.; resort hotels,
food service, restaurants,
culinary, bartenders,
waitress/waiter.
Also, summer poHce (uniform
ed), security guards; ground-
skeeping; carpentey, house pain
ting, tennis and golf instructors,
tutoring, governess, live-in
helpers, etc.; summer stock
theatre, stage hands; musicians,
band members; retail sales,
museum and aquarium staff; air-

THE DARK CRYSTAL
Another movie now showing
that is worth the money to see is
“The Dark Crystal”, a fantastic
epic by the creators of the mup-
pets who have extended their
talents into a science-fiction film.
Creator Jim Henson calls “The

“creatures”, not muppets, or
puppets. Names of these

Spring Production
By Jonathan Matthews
Mr. Sam Cope, theatrical direc
tor at Brevard College, has an
nounced that “Murder Room”
will be the college’s spring pro
duction.
“Murder Room” is a play writ
ten in three acts by playwright
Jock Sharky. This production is a
spoof of the many murder
mysteries you might have seen.
It’s a story about a somewhat
aristocratic English gentleman
whose young wife has fallen in
love with another man, so she
murders her husband.
“Murder Room” supports a
cast of six (three men and three
women).
Auditions were held last Mon
day in the Barn Theatre.

Also, taxi drivers and chauf
feurs; hospital work, nurse’s
aids, etc.; fishing and shellfish in
dustries; newspaper work (cir
culation, etc.); and
secr^Wsl/clerical positions.
Hii'sng has already started in
many job catagories.
The sole function of the Cape
Cod Job Bureau is to make
available the names and ad
dresses of local employers who
hire extra summer help, with job
descriptions and numbers of
employees needed in each
catagory, and a useful cross-
reference map of the area.
The Job Bureau is not an
employment agency, and
therefore charges no fees to
employers or employees.
Included in the directory is a
listing of summertime educa
tional, academic courses for col
lege credit, as well as cultural
classes in music, and the arts.

Mr. Cope says that problems
can arrise in casting the right
person for some roles, especially
for a play which consists of such a
small cast.
Mr. Cope believes that
“Murder Room” will be fun to
put together, and that it will be
entertaining to watch.
The workshop class has
already started on the construc
tion of the set. Only one set is
necessary for this three-act play.
The play is scheduled to be per
formed April 14, 15, 16 and April
21, 22, 23. Reservations and
tickets may be secured from the
Receptionist in Beam Ad-

Stray Cat Blues
creatures are the Gelfing’s,
UrRu’s, and the villainous
Skekses.
If you watch just the story part
of this movie, it can dull and even
boring; but if you watch the way
the creatures talk, walk, and
move around, you will be amazed
at how Henson and his crew ac
complished such a creative feat.
You have to be aware of all the
details of the creature and their
surroundings to be able to ap
preciate the artistry and creativi
ty put into it.
So even though “Dark Chystal
isn’t the spectacular, it can be a
worthwhile picture to take the
kids to.

A stray cat has caused quite a
stir in the basement community
of West Beam Dorm lately.
It seems that the cat has
adopted the rafters above the
basement as its home. It can be
heard howling late at,night, and
has caused several rooms to
smell like litter boxes, according
to several residents of that area.
Reactions to the feline vary
from person to person. Many
residents would like to strangle
it, while an equal amount have
tried to capture it and make it
their pet.
Most attempts have failed and
the cat is, as of now, still at large.
Two residents tried to capture
it by removing a ceiling tile in
their room and placing a piece of
ham on it. They then gently
replaced the tile so that the
slightest bit of weight applied by
the cat would cause it to fall
through.
The wily cat decided not to take
the bait. In vain, some students
have even tried to make grabs at
it, all to no avail.
John Martin accomplished the
only capture of the cat. He lured
it to an open ceiling tile in the hall
with a saucer of milk, and then
grabbed it and pulled it down to
his room with a brief struggle.
He described it as a calico col
ored male with very big sharp
claws. He said it is a very affec
tionate cat, and it is because of
this affection that it likes to bite
people.
Apparently the cat doesn’t like
to be confined to a single room.
Since it is of a very inquisitive
nature, John was prompted to
name this untamed animal
“Beast”.
He kept Beast a single day and
fed it cafeteria scraps. But the
cat soon became discontented
with the “easy life” and began
sitting by the door and meowing.
John opened the window and
put a saucer of milk outside to see
what Beast might do. He said,
“That cat just leaped out the win
dow and never looked back. He
just kept on going.”
Since then the cat has been
spotted wandering the campus,
obviously happy to be free.
