The Scotsman, May 7—Mako sharks
and tuna fish are rival swimming champions because they share
the same unique power plant, evolved independently over millions
of years, scientists from the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography have found. Both types of fish have an
almost identical arrangement of muscles and tendons, enabling
them to sustain high-speed swimming with a minimum of movement.

'Bourgeois,' But Comedy is Relevant Today

Alumni Michael Schwartz will return this week to his alma mater
to direct one of French Theatre's most famous comedies, Moliere's
"The Bourgeois Gentleman." The play follows the mishaps

he attempts to educate himself in the ways of the 17th century
French aristocracy, a task at which he miserably fails despite
paying exorbitant fees to cynical tutors.
