—Highacres Collegian Oct. 1979
Dr. David comments
The daytime enrollment at the
Hazleton Campus this Fall is
1,030 students. Last year at this
time we had 950 students. This
increase of 80 students has
pushed the Campus to its upper
limit of accommodation and has
created certain problems. I don’t
have to tell you that parking is
extremely tight on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, and
you all know that seats in the
classrooms are at a premium.
The dining area in the Commons
is completely filled at noon three
days a week. And, of course, the
faculty and staff have their hands
full.
At a time when many colleges
and universities are wondering
whether they will be able to stay
in business because of dwindling
enrollments, I* look upon our
problems of enrollment as happy
problems. First of aU, we are
happy that we didn’t have to
disappoint those 80 additional
students who wanted to come to
the Hazleton Campus. Secondly,
the record enrollment this Fall
indicated that the Hazleton
Campus will have a sound, safe,

coming years of reduced high

finally, we are encouraged and
gratified that so many of you
believe along with us that this is a
great place to get your education.
At the football games in Beaver
Stadium, it appears to me that
the seats. in the stands are
designed for 12-inch rear ends.
Since many of us exceed this
limit, there is always a problem
in accommodating the
latecomers to the game.
However, everyone moves over a
little bit down the line, exhales,
and makes room. I ask for
similar patience and cheerful
accommodation as we adjust at
the Hazleton Campus to handle
our capacity crowd. If we all
cooperate, our problems will
indeed be Happy Problems.

President Circle K
No, Circle K is not a dude ranch
located somewhere in Texas. It is
a service organization sponsored
by our local Kiwanis Club in
Hazleton. Membership in Circle
K is open to anyone on campus no
matter what your major is. Even
though you may have missed the
first several meetings, Circle K is
always accepting new members.
Several of the activities for
Circle K are visiting nursing
homes; running a bowl-a-thon for
a needy, non-profit organization;
collecting and repairing toys for
children at Christmas; and
ringing a bell for the Salvation
Army also at Christmas time.
Circle K works with their
Kiwanis Club and attends their
luncheons in order to keep
communication lines open.

Lisaßagazzi
Hi, as I’m sure most of you
already know, I’m Lisa Ragazzi,
president of your ( Student
Government Association. We’re
only halfway through the first
term and already activities are in
full swing.
First on the agenda is the fact
that all clubs will have to make
an amendment to their
constitution regarding the
election of the club president. The
amendment will require all clubs
to elect their president at the end
of Spring Term in an effort to
avoid confusion in the upcoming
year.
Also, OTIS, the Organization of
Town Independent Students, is
trying to get the Laurel Mall bus
run extended to Highacres. The
bus would help students who
don’t have any means of
transportation and live off
campus and it will also help those
students who do drive save gas.
The only problem is that we need
more cooperation from the
students. This project is to help
you. The only thing we require of
you is to sign up to ride the bus
consistently at least one day a
week. If we do not get enough
Classified ads bring results
The Highacres Collegian,
under the leadership of an almost
all freshmen staff, is toying with
the idea of a classified ad
vertising section in its
publication. To help get the idea
off the ground, the Collegian has
decided to place all the classified
ads in its second issue at no cost.
That’s right—free! So if you have

support the idea will never get off
the drawing board. So think about
it. If you’re interested contact
any Student Government
member or attend the next SGA
meeting which will be held
Tuesday, fourth period in the
SGA Office.
Another important project
which will benefit the students is
the Student Directory. SGA is in
the process of having one
published. When completed the
directory will list every student
along with their major, term,
home address, home phone, local
address and local phone. The
purpose of the directory is so
students can contact one-another
for rides to and from school or
home. The information for the
directory will be obtained by the
students filling out forms which
will be placed in their mailboxes.
The students will deposit these
forms in a box which will be
located next to the mailboxes.
The form will only take a minute
to complete and that’s how long it
will take you to help us put the
directory together. So please fill
out these forms as soon as
possible. If you didn’t receive a
form contact the SGA for one.
Also the SGA will be selling
buttons for ALL-U-DAY which
will read, “PSU-Hazleton
Campus.” Signs will be posted
when the buttons come in, so
don’t forget to purchase a button
to wear toALL-U-DAY. In case
