edna: the poor students philosopher
Welcome freshmen! Are you
wondering if you are yet well
adjusted to this new academic
life? Do the sophomores seem
more confident or perhaps more
insane? How does one measure
this social status? Vou know
that you are well on the way
to adjustment if you

ASSISTANT DEAN
TAKES OFFICE
by Christie Tito
Has anyone noticed sparks
flying around the campus
lately? If you have seen any +
they are very probably coming
from our Assistant Dean of
Student Affairs, Mr. Everitt
F. Binns.
Newly-appointed, Mr.
Binns' duties include super
vision of the residence hall
and student activities. He and
his wife, Brenda are currently
occupying the residence hall.
A Norristown native, he
attended the Ogontz Campus,
received his B.A. at Penn
State, and also earned his
M.A. in Counselor. Education.
While at U -Park he: served
as residence assistant at
Pollock Halls, fire safety
chairman, and was an active
member of Alpha Pi Omega,
national service fraternity.
Fired with enthusiasm (he
thinks that Highacres is "just
great") and overflowing with
plans, he has decided it is
time for - the students to have
some entertainment.
He plans on having some
coffeehouses for the students.
One is scheduled for November
3 and will feature Stan
Shepherd. Students usually
look forward to Comeriety Night
(Highacres own Laugh-1n) but
this year it will not be simply
for one night. A whole week of
'comedy fun is intended. Mr.
Binns also wishes to organize
some sort of entertainment dur
ing "common hour" which should
TEA WITH THE
ADMINISTRATOR
by Linda Gallagher
There is more behind any
adminstrator than the number
of degrees he holds, It takes
a certain kind of charisma and
understanding to successfully
run a college campus. Did
Highacres receive such a
director?
After my talk with Dr.
William David, I can judge that
we have. Dr. David is
interested in the faculty and
students and in the problems
that each encounters. As an
"outsider" to our campus he is
observing situations with a new
outlook, in hopes of finding
fresh solutions.
He will strive to give
Highacres student a first
class education. To achieve this
goal he found a "faculty
personally interested in the
students." He said that the
small campus atmosphere and
the close association of students
and faculty is helpful toward a
better education. A more &
flexible academic program,
tailored to individual needs,
will also help to achieve a
first class education. A full
two years at Highacres for ALL
students may be in the future.
Dr. David will continue
to expand all phases of the
campus. Plans ahead include
the final preparations for the
,gym construction, the
requisitioning of the organ
from Heln Eakin Eisenhower
Chapel at U-Park for the Music
Aepartment, and possible
(purchase of a bus to be used
for group trips to U-Park
conventions, transportation of
athletic teams, field trips, and
,a weekend shuttle service from
the dorm to downtown Hazleton.
Dr. David is ambitious,
concerned, and aware of his
duties as the new director of
the Hazleton campus.
be a welcome break be
tween classes.
`Also in the planning
stage is an art
exhibit (for all you budding
artists), a play-Thurber Fair,
eight movies, a Winter Weekend
sponsored by SGA, and much, muck
more.
