ROTC members adapt to weather
ROTC activities during the
Winter term have revolved
around cold weather operations.
Those green clad, snow covered
skiers on the soccer field during
the past month were ranger club
members practicing their cross
country skiing techniques. Dur
ing a recent weekend, a group of
those skiers tried their skills by
negotiating a few miles through a
local State park. In addition to
the skiing, the club members
have also been receiving cold
weather survival training.
Hopefully these skills can be put
to good use in the near future on a
trip to Alaska. The ROTC
Rangers club at University Park
is sponsoring the trip during term
break. If the air transport hurdle
can be overcome, several
Hazleton club members will be
spending a week on a glacier. If
Pep band creates
campus spirit
A new activity this year is the
Condors' Pep Band. It was
formed to raise the spirit at the
basketball games and on cam
pus, plus to provide entertain
ment for the fans. In the future, it
hopes to perform at soccer games
and other school activities.
Recently the Pep Band became
an official campus club and
through school support, it hopes
to obtain additional instruments
and sheet music to play at more
functions. The band is directed by
Talitha "Bep" Bush and advised
by Dr. Jumpeter. Members in
clude Craig Brown, Mary Sue
Serock, Joan Ballots, and Alex
Sosnowski.
Talitha indicated that she
would like to see it continue next
year. The key to endurance is to
continue to grow in number.
Anyone interested in joining the
Pep Band can reach her in the
dorm in Room 241.
