Behrend Center, and is grateful -to those who acted as guides and assisted in the parking lot. Many of the students were fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Behrend personally. Mr. Ferguson hopes that Mrs. Behrend will accept his invitation to "stay a few days at the Center the next time she visits Erie. On Wednesday, November 3, the education committee of the General Electric Company visited us. The committee included: Mr. D. F. Smith, Mr. C. A. Traphagen, Mr. M. Grotjohan, Mr. J. M. Scarlett, Mr. C. A. Church, Mr. P. R. Milroy, and Mr. B. Miller. Mr. William Powers, director of the arts and sciences extension, also visited the college Wednes day. The next visitor from the main campus will be Mr. Cloethingh, head of the dramatic department. Mr. Ferguson expects to have new parking lights here very shortly. The lines were laid last week and will soon be completed. The' lights will be automatic. They will go on at 6:00 P.M. and off at 2:00 A. M. Technical Course Continued from Page 1 ing night classes. The history of the Technical Institute dates back to 1920, or thereabouts, when the first courses were initiated at the various cen ters. In its early stages the courses were taught at Erie’s high schools; the facilities were too limited, so Gannon temporarily housed some of the classes during the war. Mr. Campbell, engineering in structor of the day school, is the administrative head of the Tech nical Institute. Mr. Henzi is the district representative in this ses tion, while Mr. Ferguson is the man in charge of all night classes in the northwestern part of Penn sylvania. The teachers employed in the night school are all approv ed and rated by State College, and are leaders in their various 'fields. At the present time there are seventy-seven students enrolled in the night school, most of whom are in their third year, working toward their certificates.' State College provides these students with practical application in the laboratory, as equipment is sent for their use from the main camp us. Students .-may take three credit hours and must attend, classes two nights a week. The students take numerous trips throughout the term. One of the more important trips will be to General Electric. At the end of the term they go on an excursion to the Employment Bureau of Erie and finish the eve ning with a dinner at the Com munity Center. Those who take these courses must have a desire to leam as well as perserverance in order to finish the required number of credit hours. Aptitude Tests surely kept all busy. Then remember the social ac tivities in the evening when awk ward situtations arose when we hadn’t yet met each other. Yet these all turned out to be great fun for everyone; as all event ually became acquainted. For the faculty that was also a week to remember. It was be cause of their untiring effort that we proceeded in the right direction. This week will be remembered by all. as our first real experience in college life. Fitts Is Head! Continued.'from Page 1 was finally decided that a trap should be set , for him. Fits died a quick death and was later taken to his final resting place. ■ . Surviving Fits are: . Frances Finesod,. who first heard him; Mary Hough, who first saw him; Rita Jackson, who discovered his home; Marilyn Garden, who named him; Bill Richards, who generously donated the death weapon and solemnly carried Fits to his burial, ground; Sally. Dick son and Meida Moskowitz, who dropped popcorn and other part icles of.food on the floor for him; and Joan Baudino and Dunk Zimmerman, probably the closest friends a mouse ever had. Joan thought the mouse should not have been caught. Mr. Zimmerman devised a method by which Fits could have been caught alive. I’m sure Fits appreciated these two people very , much and I take this opportunity to thank them on behalf of our dear departed friend. Nan Weston, who first came up on Fits lying in state, thought that he had dropped dead upon hearing the election results! Because of the housing shortage, another mouse moved into Fits’ home immediately after the fu neral. It is the sincere desire of all who live in the room that this rodent will soon join his pre decessor. FLASH!!!!! Reliable sources report that at 2:45 A. M., Friday morning. Fits’ /successor, recently nicknamed Jasper, committed suicide by walk ing headlong into a mousetrap. Unfortunately, death was slow and painful. It is now suspected that the so-called Jasper may have act ually been Mrs. Fits’!
