Remember When .♦
Believe it or not we are history
already. “Freshman Week” is now
a legend to all. It was this hectic
week you’ll remember when we
saw the modem classrooms, spac
ious colonial manor, and our own
recreation building for the first
time.
Things are quite a bit smoother
now. Schedules are in running
order, the faculty is settled and
the workmen are ■ catching up
according to schedule on the
building and converting yet to be
done.
Still that “Freshman Week”
was a thrill for all. Mr. Ferguson’s

COMMENTS
By Dorothy Holmstrom
•Mr. Ferguson was very, pleased
with the number of students pres
ent. at the dedication of. 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’!
