Registration Procedure Changed
January 3, 1963 was the regis
tration date for the Winter term
for students of the Pennsylvania
State University. Previously, reg
istration at Highacres has been
held in South Hall where the vari
ous instructors sat behind desks
placed in a line against one wall
and carried out their respective
duties.
However, this term registration
was held in the Main Building
where each instructor occupied
one of the classrooms. This sepa
ration of each step required for
registration made possible less
confusion.
Mr. William Schneider, Assist
ant Director of the Hazleton Cam
pus, stated that more students
were able to register in less time
Keep Highacres Clean!
As the Collegian staff welcomes both old and new students to
TTighacres for the Winter Term, we would like to call your attention
To the conduct expected of all Penn State students.
The condition of the cafeteria is but one example of the failure
of some students to conduct themselves as grown-ups should. SGA
is making an effort to remind those forgetful people to return their
dishes to the cafeteria window. It should be noted that several peaple
have made comment to the effect that the cafeteria never looked so
bad in previous years. This seems to be an insult to the Freshman
Another sore spot has been the rubble found strewn around the
campus after a dance. It is a rule of Penn State that no alcoholic
beverages shall be allowed on campus. Any violators shall face serious
charges,
In conclusion, may we add that we are proud of our campus and
any act of disrespect brings shame to the innocent and guilty alike.
If you are one of the guilty, please try to change your habits. If
you are one of the innocent, help SGA by reminding the forgetful and
careless people to KEEP HTGHACRES CLEAN!

with the new system as compared
to the old.
There were one or two places
throughout the line where “bottle
necks” formed. However, Mr.
Schneider said that if the students
would look carefully over their
1.8. M. cards before returning
them to their advisors during pre
registration, some of these “bot
tlenecks” could be avoided.
Also, those students requiring
curriculum changes should attend
to them prior to registration in
view of the fact that the adminis
tration offices are open between
terms. This, too, would aid in de
creasing the length of time neces
sary for registration.
This new system will be used
again for registration for the
Spring term.

STUDENT POLL:
Is “Speech” Needed
For Graduation?
QUESTION: "What is
your opinion concerning
Speech 200 being required
for graduation?
Mike Nemshick (7th term Coun.)
“It should be required in every
one’s education because at the end
of the ten week course in Speech
200 each student feels 10 feet tall
in every possible social situation.”
Donna Foster (2nd term Chem. +
Phy.)
“All college students should be
required to take a speech course
since people in all walks of life
must be able to communicate their
thoughts and ideas to others.”
Phil Jeffries (2nd term L. A.)
“It should be required for the
simple reason that it helps you to
communicate better with your fel
low man under many and varied
conditions.”
Georgia Lynn Hess (2nd term El.
Ed.)
“Everyone should take speech
because it helps you to express
yourself better before people.”
Joseph M. Konar (2nd term Sec.
Ed.)
“It should rightfully be required
for graduation in order that the
student be able to communicate
better with people when he even
tually gets out into the world.”
Professor Andrew Kafka, Speech
Instructor
“As Faculty Advisor to the Ha
zleton Campus Alumni Society,
one of the comments that I hear
most frequently, from former stu
dents of the two year as well as
the four year curricula, concern
ing the most valuable general
courses taught is that Speech 200,
along with composition courses,
has been of unusual value in get
ting ahead at their jobs. Regard
less of how well equipped they are
with the technical and/or profes
sional subject matter, the ability
to communicate in a variety of so
cial and career situations is sig
nificant while on the job. Some of
these same students confessed
that while they were studying
Speech 200 it seemed quite a chal
lenge and they wondered if the
time and effort required by the
course were worth it. Later, how-
ever, an experience in having
studied this subject proved enor
mously valuable in their jobs.”
