CEPHEID VARIABLE There is a lot of monkey business going on around college campuses these days. Before jumping to conclusions, that refers to real mon key business. Research is currently becoming popular in teaching human skills to chimpanzees. Some researchers have even been successful in teaching these chimps the sign language many of the deaf use to communicate. This is the subject for a talk presented by Cepheid Variable. Rudy Vavra, who has lived with a chimp for 2 years, will speak at 8:00 P.M. Tuesday, April 13 in Room 701 of Rudder Tower. Admission is free. The subject of this experiment in chimp teaching, Lilly, will be there to observe human behavior. It would be a good idea to attend this discussion — one of these days you may look up in a tree around campus to find Lilly watching you. Of course, you’d want to be able to carry on an intelligent con versation with her.
