By MARC ROVITO
Fellow Students,
I hope that after eight weeks
of the fall term the SGA finds
everyone happy and doing well
at Highacres. Here are some of
the things that your SGA has
been doing *. .
We received our allocation
from University Park and the
money has been distributed to
all of the clubs who put in their
budget requests. Good luck to all
the clubs!!!
Right now we are setting up a
committee to make up a course
evaluation booklet. The
professors will be asked to work
up an evaluation of the courses
that they will be teaching during
the Spring Term.
Another committee has been
set up to create a pamphlet of
student “Rules and Rights.”
SGA will be working in con
junction with RHC on this
project.
The SGA Senate Elections
were held on October 11th and
the results of those elections are
as follows:
Freshmen
Joseph Broschak
Paul Huffman
Thomas Hyland
Regina Locher
Lisa Ragazzi
Sophomores
Craig Warner
Norman Zwolenik
Once again I hope that
everyone is having a good term
and I wish everyone the best of
luck on your finals!
Respectfully yours,
,Marc Rovito,
President
It seems strange but a flying rumor
nearly always makes a perfect landing.
1.,.
Flying
A new club is being formed on
campus and it is the flying club.
At the present time there are 35
people signed up and 4 of them
are girls. The objective of the
club is to have people learn to
fly and hopefully get their pilot’s
license.
Flying is more than just lear
ning to hop into a plane it is also
learning to navigate, use a radio
and learning FAA government
regulations.
University Park has an airport
and has been in touch with them
on setting up the club. If you are
interested, you should get in
touch with Tom Lilli the club’s
President or their advisor Dr.
Clark.

Circle K
By JOHN POLLACK
President
A great many students on this
campus do not know what Circle
K is really all about. First of all,
let me make it perfectly clear,
we are not a ranch nor do we
have any horses. Circle K is a
national organization of college
students sponsored by the
Kiwanis Club. We are a service
organization dedicated to ser
ving the campus and the com
munity.
Some up coming events:
By November we will have
completed our first project, a
hoagie sale. The proceeds of this
sale will be used to fund general
Circle K activities. At Las Vegas
Night, November 3, we will set
up a dime pitching stand in the
basement of the Commons.
Our first service project for
the year is also getting under
way. A great many people in
this area are shut away in nur
sing homes with few or no
visitors, Circle K would like to
bring a little sunshine into their
lives. All it requires is a few
minutes of your time once a
week. One day each week we
will visit a nursing home and try
to make it a more pleasant place
to live. To quote a wise old
adage, “There is no greater gift
that one can give then to give of
thyself." Anyone interested
should contact one of the project
co-ordinators: Rosalie Scrabak
or Patricia Busher.
Serving with me this year as
club officers are: Mary Pat
Cowan, Vice President; Carol
Becker, Secretary; Kevin
Phillips, Treasurer.
Membership in Circle K is still
open. Anyone wishing to join
should contact one of the officers
or simply plan to attend the next
meeting.
College for K
By STEVE KADAR
“College for Kids” is a broad
based, wide ranging, national
program where children from
twelve to fifteen years of age
get to explore various areas of
arts and sciences on a voluntary
basis. -
For ninety minutes on six con
secutive Saturday mornings,
these young people observe
demonstrations, perform simple
experiments, and take part in
discussion sessions. While there
are many “College for Kids”
programs, one recently con-

By KIM PARSON
Would you like to be a “Big
Buddy?” The “Big Buddy”
program consists of people being
big brothers and big sisters to
children in the Hazleton area.
The children are from one
parent families and just need an
older friend who cares.
When becoming a volunteer
for this program a commitment
must be made. Most of these
“matches” last for a year and
anything shorter might cause
more harm to the situation than
help.
The time put into this rewar
ding volunteer work is flexible.
If you want to spend the day
with your little buddy, that’s
great. An example would be a
Saturday picnic. But, if you only
have two hours on a weeknight,
that’s fine too.
HCAC must reach out to this
year’s freshmen, or sophmores
who will be in the Hazleton area
for approximately another year.
A dormitory student may also
participate but during the sum
mer break the big buddy and lit
tle buddy should keep in touch.
This is HCAC’s first major
project and we need everyone’s
help to make it a success. If
there are any questions in your
mind or you feel you would
make a good “Big Buddy,” but
you don’t know how to work it
out, get in touch with me per
sonally or drop a note in my
mailbox. My name is Kim Par
sons, and I’m chairperson of the
Highacres Club Advisory Coun
cil.

It was run by Mr. Shaevel and
Dr. Santulli. Both instructors

experience.” Mr. Shaevel com
