Page 4 XGI Reporter By Jom Jenson The night of the Hershey Bears hockey game was a real cold one with the “hawk" out in full force, but 26 people with frat tickets showed up for a real great game. Hershey(lst place) defeated Richmond(2nd place) with a near capacity crowd in attendance. As is common, we all got together after the game, at Siler’s for some brew and food. Real good time! The following is from our ace reporter, Pat Panfile, who took care of my duties at the last meeting. He states,“The frat meeting of January 27th was what one would say to be one of chaos. Not only was there a storm outside, but there was one brewing inside as well. That storm had come in the form of Larry Surak, alias the Sewer Rat or the Airborne Cadet. Larry, a frat alumnus, had just about caused our president, Paul Skodacek, to lose the remaining hair on his head. It was pitiful to watch Paul bang the gavel on his head instead of on the table. After a few disruptions from various other members, who appeared to have had a few brews, sorry, many brews, before the meeting, Paul regained his composure and brought the meeting to order.” Now for a few pertinent dates to remember: Feb.2o-Coatesville trip-need people from the frat and campus community to go along and possibly a few to provide some entertainment. Feb.24-Casino Night-The XGl’s will be there running some temporarily legalized illegal gambling. April 29-Tentative frat blood drive for spring term. If anyone is interested in doing some wrestling, there are plans in the making for a tournament sometime in February. Let. your interest be known in the frat lounge. Two new members were initiated into the frat at the last meeting. They are Mike Palermo and John Watkins. You know, the XGI reporter column pulled through the recent Reader poll with just over 50% of the readers reading the tflw HALLMARK CARDS STATIONERY GIFTS CANDLES PLANT HANGERS WOODEN WARE Open Thur. & Fri. Eve Opposite The Post Office Middletown column. This makes me feel that it’s all worth while, considering that this is a special interest column. But, what I’m hoping is that out of that 50 %, a good percentage are non-frat members because in the article I try to relate the frat to the college community. I try to bring out dates and times that are important to all on campus and try to advertise frat activities which are open to all, which most are! So if you are a member reader, Good!, and if you are a non-member reader, Better!, because you can relate to our activities and participate! That’s it for this time Thanks, Pat! Enrollment Up- But Not Much Registration lines crawled slower than usual this fall at many campuses, as overall college enrollment increased slightly. Yet the lines could have been much longer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of high school graduates in the country has grown from 2.9 million in 1970 to 3.1 million in 1975, increasing 7% in the past five years. Yet the percent age of those high school graduates who have gone on to college has dropped steadily from an all-time high ot 55% in 1968 to 47% in 1974. Experts predict that the downturn will continue for several more years. According to Stampen of AASCU, “increased college costs explain declining attendance rates.” But a frequently given reason for declining college attend ance, the end of the draft, was not a major factor, according to Stampen. “At tendance began declining in 1968, long before the end of the Vietnam war and the draft,” he says. &>rABD«CMI HOURS 4PM-2AM MONDAY: OMies Disco TUESDAY: latest in Cosmopolitefi Disco wHk Penny Brown WEDNESDAY: Dance Bands Live Bands Every Thursday Ladles Night Every Friday UPS 8.19H1 St. -J JK C.C.
