Chinook Salmon from sunrise to 1 a.m. Dr. Elbridge L. Dunckel, who has volunteered much of his time and energy to the manage- ment of the Chinook program, says the fish are now at a "buttoning up" stage where the yolk sac is almost completely absorbed. The "fry" or "ale- vins" are being fed a specially prepared diet by Genco Mills at least every 15 minutes from sunrise to sunset. Tne- Iargest salmon are now · about I½ inches long, but are anticipated to grow from 30 to 40 lbs., some as large as 60 lbs. within the next two , to four years. Out of the 93 thousand eggs received, 4 thousand were lost before hatching, 4 thousand dur- ing "buttoning up" stage, and 5 thousand more could be lost between now and the time of release. Eighty thousand smolt are estimated to be ready for release at the Besser Campus Shores by mid-April. At this time they will be placed under the Conservation Departmental control, and · be assumed as a public possession.

At approximately 10:00 A.M. the first page of the Alpena Community College yearbook, DEBRIS, was printed. This year is the first year A.C.C. has ever had a yearbook. Through the cooperation of the administration and Mr. Jim McEachern, printer for the Cam- pus Press, the yearbook will be totally printed on campus. The only work done elsewhere will be the manufacture of a cover. Mr. McEachern hopes to have the necessary equipment in the next few years to be able to make the DEBRIS covers here, also. Cover design for this year's annual is being kept secret until distribution in_ the spring. The staff hopes to have approximat- ely 160 pages.

The plays, both written by the sometimes controversial playwrite Edward Albee, were well received by an enthusiastic audience. The first play, The Zoo Story, (Continued on Page 6) of the Timber-Cruiser was com- pletely set on campus for the first time. The Campus Press is located in the Student Center. Previously, the only work done here was the actual compo- sition of stories, while all other work was done in Rogers City. Now, with the addition of the IBM Composer, headliner, waxer and darkroom facilities, only the size of the press keeps the paper from being completely printed here. According to Mr. Orr, next year the Campus Press should have the size press needed for printing the Timber-Cruiser. On Friday morning, he will visit the sociology and psych- ology classes, speaking on science and religion. This will be fol- lowed by a faculty luncheon, preceeding Dr. Vanderwerfs de- parture on Friday afternoon. Food is still a bargain. Average incomes in the U. S. have doubled since 19- 50 while food costs have risen only 25 per cent. N )
