Escort policy to be evaluated.,
The escort system currently in
effect for the Residence Hall
reportedly may be rescinded if
hall officials feel that residents
are able to keep violations of the
visitation and escort policies to a
minimum. Under the present
system, a resident, when on the
opposite side of the hall (i.e. men
on the women's side and vice
versa), must be escorted to and
from his or her destination by
another resident student of the
opposite sex. Further, students
may only be on the other side of
the dorm between the hors of
12:15 p.m. and 12:15 a.m. on
weekdays. These hours also ap
ply to non-resident students
visiting in the hall, who must sign
in at the office and be escorted to
their destination. It is the first
part of this polity that has raised
complaints from hall residents.
"The system could be
dropped tomorrow if
the people here prove
to me they can handle
The system is a university
policy in effect for all residence
halls. Primarily, it is a security
measure to protect residents
from physical attack and to keep
out trespassers. However, to
what degree the policy is enforc
ed is largely up to the individual
Residence Hall co-ordinators.
Cy Falatko, Hazleton's
Residence Hall Coordinator said
that how long the policy remains
in effect is dependent on how

residents react to the visitation
policy system.
"The system could be dropped
tomorrow if the people here
prove to me that they can handle
it (the system) well enough,"
said Falatko.
Last year's policy required only
that male residents have an
escort when on the women's side
of the hall. That policy, though,
was reportedly not strictly en
forced after Christmas break and
was officially dropped at the
beginning of Spring Term. Non
resident students still had to sign
in at the office when entering and
leaving the building.
Falatko also noted that as of Oc
tober 1, six male residents had
been charged with escort viola
tions while no female residents
had had similar charges brought
against them. He said that once
the system is dropped, it could be
reinstated at any time, if necessi
ty is documented. The require
ment for non-resident students to
have escorts will remain in any
case according to the coor
dinator.
Scholarships now available
for NET students
by Tony Leshinskie
A new financial aid source has been instituted for University
students working toward a two-year degree in Nuclear Engineering
Technology. Under this new program, eligible students could receive
a $l5OO or more per year scholarship and/or summer employment
from one of four utility companies cooperating with the Nuclear
Engineering Department.
The program, entitled "Nuclear Engineering Technology—An
Energy Occupation in Demand," is co-sponsored by Pennsylvania
Power and Light (PP&L), Philadelphia Electric (PE), General
Public Utilities (GPE), and Duquense Light. The utility companies
have guaranteed at least fourteen scholarships. But according to
Hazleton Campus' Dr. David Matchick, PE has contributed money
for twenty additional scholarships, while PP&L has also contributed
for an undisclosed number of scholarships.
"This year's scholarships," said Dr. Matchick, "should have
already been awarded, but I don't know that for sure. You would
have to contact the Nuclear Engineering Department to see if any
are still available."
Students interested in the Nra program may begin their educa
tion at one of seventeen Commonwealth Campus locations (Behrend
College and Capitol Campus are excluded). The fourth and fifth
terms are offered only at Hazleton and Altoona Campuses, with the
sixth term offered only at University Park. Additional information
concerning scholarships and summer employment is available from
Dr. Matchick and the Financial Aid Office. Further information con
cerning the program is available by writing to:

Sophomore Yvonne .Cormier

300 points out of a maximum of
300 points in her physical fitness
test. There were more than 180
men and women from all over the
United States training with her.
"I was really pleased and im
pressed with the whole training
program," said Yvonne.
"Although I had a summer that
was full of hard work, it was all
worthwhile. I've met so many
really nice people from all over
the country."
As a local National Guard
member, Yvonne also received
the Sergeant Major's award after
completing Basic and Advanced
Individual Training. She received

Tonight in Commons
Highacres play continues
The play I am a Camera,
written by John van Druten, will
continue on its third night
tonight, with the last presentation
tomorrow night. Curtain is at 8:00
p.m. both nights.
The play takes place in Berlin
around 1930, and tells us about
the experiences of a struggling
American writer, Christopher
Isherwood. Isherwood is played
by John Lewis, and his landlady,
Fraeulein Schneider, is played by
Cheryl Cooper.
Other characters in the play are
Fritz Wendel, a German friend of
Ishwerwood's, played by Gregg
Reinsmith; Sally Bowles, an
English pampered young lady,
played by Lisa Skuba; Natalie
Landauer, the daughter of a
Jewish storeowner, who is played
by Kathy Keane; Clive Mor
timer, an immature rich young
man who takes nothing seriously,
played by Bill Creed; and Mrs.
Watson-Courtneidge, Sally
Bowles' prim mother, who,
Medical Technology
Program offered
A two-year program in Medical Technology is currently offered at
the Hazleton Campus, in cooperation with two local hospitals.
High school seniors apply for entrance into the associate degree
program in October or November before their graduation. Of all the
applicants, twelve are selected to begin an orientation program during
the summer prior to their freshman year.
The first three terms are spent taking courses in Chemistry,
Physiology, and Anatomy. The sophomore year includes work study at
either St. Joseph's Hospital in Hazleton, or at Berwick Hospital.
At the hospital sessions, students attend lectures, observe and are
tested on application of techniques to practical situations. Students
evaluated as satisfactory at the completion of the sixth term are cer
tified aslab technicians.
"I'm seriously thinking about go
ing into some aspect of aviation,"
she said, "possibly helicopters."
Training began for Yvonne on
June 1 and it was not completed
until September 11, when she
returned to her home and to
school. She went through Military
Police School, and took part in all
of the tactical training offered.

"The military isn't for
everybody," emphasized
Yvonne. "It takes a lot of stamina
and endurance; and, teamwork is
essential."

To illustrate her point, she ex
plains some of the requirements
for the passing physical fitness
test: "Women must do 40 push
ups in two minutes; 61 sit-ups in
two minutes; and, complete a
two-mile run in 17 minutes 10
seconds or less."
"What an exciting summer I've
had!" said Yvonne. "My hard
work really paid off, and I feel I
got a lot out of the program."
unlike Clive, takes everything
seriously.
The play is directed by Dr. Carl
Frankel, who stated, "I chose to
do I am a Camera partially for
technical reasons (small cast size
and set, no elaborate production
requirements, etc.) but mainly
because . I love the play. The
dialogue is witty and clever but
sounds real. Feelings are con
veyed with a minimum of words.
The characters are all flawed
human beings but the author
treats them with warmth and
understanding. The situations
they get into and try to get out of
make me think of some of our
own not-always-successful at
tempts to cope. The ending is bit
tersweet and very moving. It
reminds us that life and love
don't usually work out according
to plan but that the game is worth
playing, if only for the adventure.
I think that anyone who is or ever
was in love, or searching for pur
pose in their lives, or looking for
escape, should enjoy the play."
