Twice and other construction workers from Push Comesta Shove Inc. in a spring recess effort to move the school building back 17 feet in the direction of the Queens College parking lot. As a result of a grievance filed ·by local residents of the Crab B Condos against Townsend Harris, in which the school is charged with "disturbing the peace by unlawfully projecting · loud and tasteless tunes onto Melbourne Avenue at unacceptable amplitudes," a soundfr.ee zone must be created between the school and the local condominiums. But with no more money allocated by the Board of Education for the construction of a new building, combined with the new community service initiative, the concrete plan will call on students and administrators alike The Big Push: to take things into their own hands. Literally.

Brightman, Professor of Educational Engineering and Office Physics at Queens College, "The echoing sounds emanating from Townsend Harris · would be caught in' a vir, tual vaccuum," or sound free zone, if the school were moved just 17 feet.

"As a result of the constant din from planes passing overhead, a boomerang effect is produced in the lower troposphere when sound is directed upward from an open area," said Professor Brightman.

He says his office has been overwhelmed with calls from concerned "Most parents are worried, not so much about the health hazard, but rather that the. cockroaches may disturb the learning environment of their children," said Dr. Tallman. "Imagine the awkward situation I'll be faced with at the next Parent/Teachers meeting, when I try to explain that the cockroaches were here to begin with and furthermore belong in our brandnew building!" However, there is a positive s.ide to all the excitement. In upcoming months, Dr. Tallman _ hopes to incorporate the incident into the school's curriculum. Biology teachers will explain the reproductive . cycle with cockroaches as their models and math teachers will have their students calculate -the insec.ts' rate of reproduction. In addition, all English classes will write short stories featuring cockroaches as main characters.

Dr. Tallman offers students and staff one piece of advice: "Be careful where you walk."· :.•" ---· ;: ·

Yogas Togas' new book, in which the author describes the "art form" in detail. "Iremember that kid. A great intellectual mind. I knew he would amount to something,'' Principal Tallman said. He also added that he is so impressed with "Libertus, -a, -urn" that he is thinking of joining in a few sessions, should the class run. ·

Student reaction to the new class has been mostly enthusiastic. "It sounds cool,'' said Yogatte Stretches, a sophomore. "Yeah, but why do we have to decline verbs? Soon they'll want us to sing Latin while we eat and sleep and shower!" exclaimed Hattes · Latine; a junior.

Togas said that his creative thinking had been dried up by collaterals in high school. In college, without any collaterals, his creative instinct was re-awakened as he went for his Masters and Ph.D degrees at Harvard and Yale. He had an incredible urge to work on extra projects. That's when he came up . with "Libertus, -a, -urn."

Not only Harris, but the rest of the country has taken notice of this "radical, new art form," . according to The New York Times on its front page story January 26. Most of the newspapers in New York City and even across the country have praised "this gem of an idea," according to The Washington Post.

Immediately after the release of We Don't Demand Excellent Lemons, it hit #15 on the New York Times Best Sellers List.
