S.G.A. presidentai
elections this year will take
place on May 6th and 7th. A
number of rules have been
changed and added or revised.
One great change is the joint
ticket for president and
vice-president. Each petition
will contain two names - one
for each of the two offices -
and the voter will vote for one
party. No splitting of the
petitions will be allowed.
Present S.G.A. officers feel this
will promote more
understanding and
co-operation between the two
offices. At least 30 signatures
are needed on the petition in
order for the candidates to be
eligible. Eligibility also includes

formal gardens. The building of the chimes tower was made
possible through use of undistributed SGA funds from the past
five years. Soon to be put in place on the tower is the 1,100
pound, copper bell seen in the foreground. The inscription reads,
"CAST BY HENRY N. HOOPER & COMPANY BOSTON 1855."
The date of the bell's casting is significant in that the
Pennsylvania State University was founded the same year.

Faculty and students
tour new building
Members of the Highacres
community took advantage of
the warm weather April 13 to
tour the new classroom
building erected recently on
campus. Director Frank C.
Kostos said that he arranged
the informal open house for
the benefit of the faculty,
staff, and students in order to
acquaint them with the new
facility. "They are curious as
to what's in there," he said.
The General State
Authority, which constructed
the building, had inspectors on
hand to serve as guides for the
tours, which lasted from 1:30
to 4:15 pm.
Kostos , said that although

May Ball theme
The annual May Day
celebration will be held this
year on May 15th. This
tradition began in 1945 at the
Penn State Center in Hazleton.
At that time the ceremonies
consisted of the coronation of
a May Que l :n in the afternoon
with an accompanying program
and a Queen's Ball at night,
both held indoors in a,
Hazleton hall or ballroom. In
1950, when the Hazleton
Center was moved to
Highacres, the queen's
coronation was held in the
garden between the S.U.B. and
the Main Building. Later it was
moved to the green in front of
the Main Building.
For the past few years the
May Day celebration has been
consolidated into a "May
Ball." It will be held on May
15th in the S.U.B. from 9-1.
The music will be provided by
TNT.
The crowning of the May
Queen is scheduled for 9:15.
The queen and her court will
be announced the first week in

paper, on April 1," workmen
are still in the building

furniture.
After completing his tour
of the building, Ralph Crawfor,
Assistant Professor of Zoology,
said, "I was amazed at all the
rooms given over to biology.
It's getting more than
chemistry or physics."
Crawford doubts if all of the
rooms will be equipped by
next year but in two years it
will be in full operation.
Despite this he said, "I think I
like it, though."

Frederick Esher, Associate
Professor of General
Engineering, remarked that the
transparent drainpipes utilized
in the construction are a very
recent innovation. - He also
called attention to the "nice
view" of the Conyngham and
Butler Valleys that one gets
from the rooms, because it is
"the highest of all our
buildings."
The instructor of Spanish
and Italian at Highacres,
Francis Pierucci, had these
comments after his tour: "The
building is already beautiful
and conducive to academics,
but wait until it gets its 'guts,'
such as the language
laboratories which will also
serve as a listening center for
music and almost any other
taped or recorded matter. It
will be an academic mansion,
really. We, Mr. Erwin and I

that, with a little copxincr it

The literary staff banded
together and pondered the
question of whether anything
could grown in this soil!
Whether anything could evoke
the response of something so
lethargic as this student body.
We decided that NO, nothing
could, but we would go ahead
anyway, just to spite those
indifferent to our endeavors.
And so, the NEW HORIZONS
was borne out of scorn and the
desire for self-fulfillment.
This offers a unique
insight into the very depths of
the "Hazleton problem." If the
literary magazine was born out
of a scorn for apathy and
indifference, then maybe this is
the spirt in which other
endeavors might take hold. In
order to justify your feeling
you must get up and
demonstrate against those
things which you believe are
being overlooked. Get up on a
soap-box with scorn in your
eyes and don't be afraid to
speak to their backs they will
not turn. Do not let them turn
on you.
I believe that we have
created something out of
nothing. Just like a poem itself,
the literary magazine started as
something borrowed.
Borrowed from nature of
necessity, then there were the
first words, the elusive ideas,
the ephemeral stabs in the
dark. An idea and then some
con tiniuty and the endless
molding of that word into
something that is shapeful and
