STRIKES and SPARES By Warren Bose Hi, friends! To all of you who have diffi culty in hearing thunder and see ing lightning, Behrend Center is the proud parent of two spanking, brand-new bowling alleys. This is truly a late, great innovation to our iHustrous and colorful campus. As all of you ancient and decrepit sophomores recall, previous to the installation of the alleys on campus, it was necessary to drive about four miles to the Perry Plaza to bowl. Now with alleys, bowling balls, shoes, and various pin-stickers, plus a solid stone wall to beat our heads on, we can have our tantrums and 7-10 splits right here at Erie Hall. The price per line has been set at ninety cents. This fee will be used to pay the pin setters, to buy equipment, and to pay the cost of maintenance. There is an ugly rumor being passed by a couple of alley rats that Bill Schweitzer is going to be acting supervisor of the alleys. If this materializes into a reality, then it will be ne cessary to condone his “word of command” if we wish to partici pate in bowling activities. The selection of bowling balls and shoes currently available is limit ed. However, in the near future the stock will be expanded to suit the needs of the alleys. Mr. Thurbon and Mr. Patter son were instrumental in setting up the bowling leagues, which, in cidentally, is no minor chore when you consider that eighty students’ schedules had to be checked be fore setting up the league sched ule. The weekly bowling schedule will be posted on the bulletin board in the classroom building— watch for it. It hasn’t been estab lished yet who the bowling sec retaries will be, but it will prob ably be a couple of the following: Nancy Hendershot, Alice Darwin, Helen Greenlee, Sonya Weidner, Martha Mulligan (stew), Elaine Peplinski (French name), Linda Hamer. £not a pigeon, but quite a chick), Donna Tokar, and La La Terlizzi. It may take all of this regiment of secretaries to handle the gargantuan amount of statistics involved in calculating the league standings and the in dividual averages. The sixteen teams which have been formulated by Messrs. Pat terson and Thurbon are listed be low.'This documentary data reads a little like a police-sergeant’s blotter on Saturday night. The convicts, or rather the teams, are as follows: The Things, Bob Har ris, Capt.; Them, Harriet Szatkow ski, Capt.; Clowns, Harold Schoch, Capt.; Falcons (Polish?), Bandy Liebau, Capt.; The Engineers (rah rah), Warren Rose, Capt.; Stars (hah), Ross Caruana, Capt.; Eagles, Jim McKenzie, Cant.; Peasants, Anita Formati, Capt.; Alley Cats, Honey Greenlee, Capt.; Moonshiners (???), Connie Tay lor, Capt.; Beginners, Dick Mytin ger, Capt.; Knights (of old), Hop py Hopson, Capt.; Dodos (well named), Don (I can take a joke) Lynch, Capt.; Behrehd Bugs, Bill (a little bit of humor) Weed, Capt.; Dormettes, La La Terlizzi, Capt.; and the Tigers, Annette Agner, Capt. At this writing all the teams have bowled, once. These scores are for establishing averages and team handicaps. Commencing. Oc- tober 8, the teams scores will be entered into league competition. Thus far the men’s high was a substantial 208, rolled by Jack Curll. The women’s high was 155 which was turned in by Shirley Hicks. It is the unbiased opinion of this writer that the Engineers will be the team to beat this year (it says here in fine print). Look ing over some of the other scores, I see that Mrs. Balmer is a better bowler (107, 96, 116) than one chemistry instructor. I won’t men tion any names but his initials are Mr. Balmer (90, 80, 118). Also I think that we safely predict that Linda Hamer will improve greatly over the season. She started out with a modest 12. Pete Dedad and company are trying to ' organize a bowling or ganization with officers. The pur pose of the organization would be to collect a nominal fee from the members of the bowling associa tion to be used for an end of the season blast (party, to you squares). See Dedad and be glad, if you want more dope on same. Until next issue when the bowl ers will have been separated from the checkers players, so-long and a happy 7-10 split to you. Another by Rose Clinically Speaking By Pat Peck Hi, everybody! Well, here it is the starting of a brand new school semester for both the college and clinic stu dents. For all of us in the clinic, this is the “Life of Riley.” There are a couple of boys who are old-timers in our group, but for most of us, it is something different. Art‘ Kreider, who has a motor cycle stashed away somewhere, and Tim Finfrock provide us with the negative side of any argu ment, and also keep us going with card tricks. The girls are: Mary Jane Court right who is our night rover and Shirley Hicks and Patty Peck who provide the humorous dancing and exercises to music. Mary Lou Womer, who was elected our room representative at iorm meetings, is secretary-treas urer of the Dorm Council. She is known for making her room mates go to bed early and get up early. We also have an artist in the merry group by the name of Har old (Mike) Sandrock. This boy is really good, kids! Being a group of mixed ages, we. have a married man, Bob Baker, who has the cutest four mcnth-old baby boy. He was for merly a store manager. Another boy who is going to be married, November 5, lucky fel low, is Paul Patzke and his pro fession is carpentry. The extremely neat boy in our class is George Yurcan. George is qualified to be a counselor in the Art of Manicuring. The athlete of this good group is Don Detar. He is an expert swimmer and diver, basketball (Continued on Page 4) THE NITTANY GUB SPORT SCOPE By Ross Caroana With most of the athletic events in progress, competitive spirit around the campus is running high. Every year there are numerous kinds of sporting events. Most of the tournaments are in progress already. The horseshoe tournament is the furthest along with thirteen fellows in competition. Any time you look out into the horseshoe pits you can see the boys prac ticing or playing off the tourna ment. Usually when you look out there you can see Dennis Polatas playing and you can always hear him' mumbling, “I wish these shoes would start opening up.” Another tournament that is under way is the annual ping pong tournament. The competitive spir it is always high for these games. Six man touch football is al ways filled with action and spirit, and this year it is again filled with much action and many thrills. If you want to see a good football game, why not come out and cheer your team on? To see the results of any of these tournaments and games look at the bulletin board down stairs in Erie Hall. The big sporting event of the year is the annual Homecoming game between the alumni and this year’s students. This year, instead of a basketball game we are go ing to have a softball game, pro vided the weather is good. If the weather is unfavorable the bas ketball game will be played in stead. This year at Behrend we are having a very special feature for all you football fans. Behrend is planning a football excursion to the main campus for the Penn State vs. Syracuse game on Sat urday, Nov. 5. At the time of this writing plans were not yet com plete. That’s all the sporting news for now. See you next issue.
