But this is beinx a plished and with surprising effect. It will flot be the cold int erior of a hockey rink when ail one hearse shouting 'of spectators and the siap of a puick againm boards. The Orono Arena, syrprisingiy enough, is t on a warm and homey atmosehere.'One can alimost' ' e audience participation with the action that wiil bej on the stage. The stage with its great width and depth cans give the effect of a Panoramic scene. We feel tha Arena wili be an excellent setting. for the Orono Theatre. The whole setting will certainiy corne to life week and a hall when the opening play is presentedt public. It will make hIstory in and for Orono. As. reported last week production of the play. construction of the sets and costumes are progres5sing on schedule and there is certainly no panic in any d( ment.

DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL Saturday night's drug raid in Cobourg should to, squelch ail local apologists for marijuana smokerlç othor ilicit drug users. It should also serve to shoel large, apathetic iportion of the local populace to ife. Thirty-eight people, most of themn young p( were at 10 Hawthorne Street shortly after inidnîght 10 policemen raided the premises. Aithough charges not immnediately laid ,charges will be forthcoming. It ii a matter of sorting out what charges will be laid ýag whom. And herein lies the tragedy. Many people can see littie or no harmn done b ing, or even consistently using, marijuana. Some -'exq say it lis neot harmful while others say it leads to acd to more serlous and dangerous drugs. But for the ti'n ing, this is not the issue.

We can nither condone nor condemn the use of 1juana per se.
