Sport scope
By Jack Abele
As classes resume, we find Mr.
BLmon’s Varsity Cagers moving
into action to better their cur
rent record of two wins and five
setbacks. It is interesting to note
that while their record Is not too
Impressive on paper, with a little
luck, it could have read six victor
ies and a lone loss. Of the Five
losses, four have been by the to
tal of seven points. In these games
our boys have outscored the oppo
sition from the field, but better
work by the opponets from the
foul line has spelled defeat.
The remainder of the varsity'
schedule ns as follows:
Saturday, Feb. 12 —Allegheny

Dorm Divots
By Fats Lentz and Stocker
The dorm has been buzzing
with activities these last few days.
Gals with cartloads of pennants,
souvenirs, pandas, and coke bot
tles scurry from room to room,
adding more confusion to the al
ready confused atmosphere. What
a reception for the bewildered new
members of the dorm
“• What a fabulous place,” was
the view of one of the new co-eds,
Frances Jean Ciccozzi, Better
known-as Jeanie. she comes from
Maneka, Pa., where she just fin
ished five months of nurses’ train
ing. Enrolled as a frst semester
freshman in. secondary educa
tion, Jean’s interests lay in the
fields of ice skating, 'bowling, and
badmltoh-
Gayle Williams, a vivacious lass,
is a recent entrant of the .Behrend
dorm who halls from Westmore
land County- Before entering col
lege, she worked for a year and a
half at the West Penn Power Co.
Now a, freshman on our campus,
she is interested in agriculture
and biological chemistry.
Beverly Chace of North East
will he another new face for
awhile on- the Behrend Campus.
Enrolled in the cirriculum of
Elementary education, Beverly’s
interests are all around a future
as a physical education instruc
tor.
If you’d happen to walk by the
hack '.two rooms, you’d notice
right away that something’s miss
ing. The reason is that Jan Jack
son, our beloved comrade has de
serted us for Pitt- We hear that
Bonnie Champney has filled the
empty'spot, so hold your horses,
kids. Anything can happen!
The new and old dorm girls be
came better acquainted at the
dorm meeting to elect new corn
ed members. High man on the
totem pole, 'Donna Cramer, was
elected to the office of president.
Ethel Hockenberry will act as
vice-president and Venice Cec
cacci assumes the duties of sec
retary-treasurer. Others chosen
for the dorm council were, May
Schoch. Ardslle Johnson, Bonnie
Champney, and Sylvia Mackie.
So hej-e we’ll 'be for another
semester of bull sessions, Val
Meal’s funny jokes, Whitney
White’s "Jack. Jack, Jack,” Char
Flack’s typing till all hours, Joyce
Gougesr’* thirty-two page letter
to Art, and Peg Duff’s science
fiction magazines.
frosh,, home, 8:00 P. M.
The Intramural league is well
underway now, and it looks like
it will take until the last game of
the season to pick the ultimate
champions. As we go to press,
there are six teams deadlocked
for first place-- The Snow Geese,
Count 69’s, Dukes, Chem- Cagers,
Sjcaxs. and Beau Brummels all
post identical records of two wins
and one loss. Next are the Eagles
with zero and three, and the Fac
ulty with zero and four. Anyone
wishing to participate in the lea
gue should contact Mr- Simon
and -be placed on a team-
Just a note to the tennis coach:
Your chore this year should be
much easier with the arrival of
Peter DeDad to our campus. Pete
has been one of,the outstanding
young tennis players in the city
of Erie during the past few years,
and will probably be a welcome
addition to the court team.
As a closing reminder: A good
sportsman is always a good sport-
Winter Provides
Fun And Frolic
By Jane Kennedy
' Since snow still dominates the
scenic beauty of the B- C- cam
pus. a furthur treatise on winter
sports .and activities should not
be too much out of place. In fact,
however much we grumble and
moan about the winter weather,
in what season can you have -such
fun tormenting people with snow
balls, breaking arms and legs
while skiing, getting raw, chapped
faces from a windy toboggan ride,
and skate for hours on end, and
then stand up for a while?
Besides, winter gives everybody
a chance to use his few brains to
good • advantage. F’rinstance, it
took no small amount of work
from Peggy Duff, Bonnie Champ
'ney, and Gerry Guzik to map a
i detour to the chem building in
order to avoid the snowballs of
| Jay Holing and Jason Eades. John
Olsen and Wally O’Neal guarantee
the equivalent amount of safety
on a whizzing toboggan that you
would find in the'r own cars.
Some comfort I must say!
Sitting down in the cafeteria
is the principal project of Bill
'Sohwietzer and John Kolpien af
[ter two weeks of practice skiing
But sitting down is not what Val
Meals and Donna Cramer are joy
ful over. After a few skating les
sons from Art Carroll, they’re
-happy to stand around doing no
thing strenuous. Many pillows
needed, girls?
But anyway, winter
fun and frolic for all, in spite of
the inconveniences and Behrend
has plenty of winter.

• STRIKES and SPARES •
As usual, with the end of the
semester, comes the end of the
bowling activities for the Behrend
Center league, this year known
as the “Birds.” Not that they
were all dirty birds, but it’s a
good expression and doesn’t mean
anything derogatory. As this
column is dedicated to a summary
of events of last semester, let’s
get started.
On October 18, the league got
off to a “rolling” start with four
teen teams in tow at the Perry
Plaza Alleys located at 26th and
Broad, in Erie. There were many
idiosyncrasies cropping up dur
ing the year and many of them
are worth mentioning. For in
stance—the most humorous were
the cat-calls and bam dance yells
coming from the direction of the
Girard DoDo’s.'Dottie Maxwell’S
and -Janie Brown’s good luck knee

socks; the cessation of the term
gutter ball, now known as Blaine
Smith Boulevard. Balls; the
friendly rivalry among the dif
ferent teams and even between
the same team’s members; the
surprising average jumps after
a few weeks of practice; Jay Bol
ing’s “20 mission crush” look hat,
after the miss of a single spare;
Mr. Simon holding the fort as
the top faculty bowler. Bill
Schweitzer and Ernie Kittka lead
ing men students, and Jody Bor
kowski as the woman with the
highest average; Jack Rimp’s
scores ranging from 99 to 145 in
the space of three games; the. free
advice given out by Mr. Patterson
about making spares; Jim Lay al
ways challenging someone to a
duel with a coke as the usual wag
er; Willy Storer having to serve
as a pin for kicking the ball rack;
the lousy driving weather that did
not deter the avid bowling fans
from their “pursuit of happiness”;
Val Meals determination in roll
ing two balls in sucession keep
ing them out of the gutter; Donna
Cramer’s crazy kiltie skirts that
she usually only wore to bowling;
the kidding about not bribing the
pin boys enough to knock over
that last pin that just won’t fall;
missing a spare that a two year
old could get, and then achieving
the impossible—a strike!
So you see that bowling isn’t
all work and no play. The new
league has started and promises
to 'be just as much fun as last
semester. So come*on, gang, and
join in the fun and try your luck
at a good sport—Bowling!
