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.

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

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.

for Homecoming this year is Janie
Eisenberg. Janie has been out to
visit Behrend a few times earlier
this year, but there are several
people waiting to talk to her and
hear the story on l the rest of the
“Fickle Five”. Janie is pinned
right now, but if she lives up to
her former reputation, it might
not be too long.
Well, kiddies, that’s all for now,
but keep on your toes, for your
“canine” friend, Chenne, is always
around.
Martha Mulligan, Elaine Peplin

the good work, kids!
