According to Jim
Thomas, acting chair
man of the Department
of Theatre Arts at
the Baptist college,
the money will be
used in three primary
areas. Foremost in
the needs of the the
atre is a new heating
system. The present
heating plant is the
original coal stoked
fxirnace installed
when the building was
built in 1918 and
heats only the main
floor.
The second area of
improvement will be
the ground level

converted into a lob

restrooms and a re
freshment area. The
lobby will be con
structed for dual
purposes. During

area for theatre pa
trons . During the
regular academic day,
it will serve as a
classroom.

SAF E T Y TIPS
FOR STREAKERS
(CPS)—In the inter
est of public safety,
the National Safety
Council has published
safety tips for would-
be streakers.
While the organiza
tion doesn't approve
of streaking, it sug
gests that if you
must streak;
1. Wear sneakers.
They give better
traction for that
all-important speed,
and they also protect
the feet. A cut foot
can end a streaking
career prematurely.
2. Wear reflector-
ized tape. This is
especially important
for night streaking.
The council especial
ly recommends streak
ers make "bumper n\im-
bers" or "taillights"
from tape and crea
tively adorn the body
with tape on back,
sides and front.
3. Stay alert.
Watch out for cars,
holes, and wire or
chains around parking
lots and fences.
4. If you wear
them, don't forget
your glasses.
