Just what Bob has in mind for
this year’s council can be summed
up in these few words: “We’ll do
our best to rectify any problems
which may come up and also to
operate for the students and not
for individual recognition.” Bob’s
hopes for the Council are mainly
that it be efficient, respected, and
Pi»kvtny by the pool are these popular dorm girls. They are,
from left to right: Becky Wilson, Bonnie Hugos, Barbara Bell,
Sue Hausen, Judy Young, Marilyn Pringle, Marilyn Bnebanioh,
Harriet Szatkowski, Laurie Hill, Nancy Newman.
’Round the Town
By Phyllis Stadler
Let’s start off by wishing Happy
Birthday to Honey Greenlee, who
celebrated on September 28 and
to Ronnie (Chief) Thomas, who
celebrated on October 3. “Happy
Birthday!” kids.
What’s this about Jerry Adler
trading his beautiful Mercury
convertible in for a Ford sedan?
It looks like quite a large group
from Behrend are going down to
the main campus for the Home
coming Game. A few of them in
clude: Bill Mong, Raleigh Ches
ley, Jack Mallory, John Kolpien,
Bill Schweitzer, Don McLaughlin,
Phyllis Stadler, Gilbert Keinath,
Clark Jamison, and Dick Webster.
Gary Stultz went down to New
Wilmington on October 1 to see
the Westminster-Thiel football
game. I hear he saw a few of
the dorm girls down there.
Honey Greenlee visited Edin
boi’o State Teacher’s College, her
old Alma Mater, on September 24
for a sorority breakfast and a
football game. And speaking of
Honey, have you noticed that she
drives her jeep to school?
Somebody is losing a lot of
friends. He passed a lot of traf
fic tickets out in the parking lot
the other day. Now maybe a few
people will know where not to
park. It couldn’t be that our traf
fic cop is Fred Loell?
Did you know that Mary Ann
Wasilewski gets up at 3:00 A. M.
to do her homework? And I’m
not kidding, either.
I’m glad to see a few of us do
something exciting on week ends.
Chuck Hickin and Don Godfrey
went to Cleveland at the begin
ning of the month to see the Ice
Capades.
Bob Meehan is going to a dance
at the Andrews School for Girls
on October 15. And Bob Harris
goes to Pittsburg every weekend
to see his girl friend.
Jeanette Flory was one of the
few girls who were playing it safe
during Freshman Customs. I guess
she didn’t want an egg shampoo
or lipstick all over her face like
most of us. Those sophomore boys
were really mean.
Sonya Weidner wants you all
to know that she bought a Perm
State sweatshirt the other day.
Did you see the beautiful ring
that Paul Moon gave his girl on
October 5? It’s beautiful! “Con
gratulations,” Paul!
utilized by the student body.
The few paragraphs above have
just touched the surfaoe of Bob’s
views and accomplishments. Get
to know your Student Council
leader: his philosophy of life is
fascinating.
THE NITTANY CUB
Dorm Council News
Dorm Council is once more in
full swing with its newly elected
officers and members. They are:
Gretchen Muth, president; Judy
Young, vice president; Mary Lou
Womer, secretary-treasurer; Har
riet Szatkowski, Loretta Terlizzi,
Donna Tokar, Marilyn Pringle,
and Sue Hansen. The girls are
kept busy seeing that things are
organized around the dorm.
Some of their duties include:
seeing that the dorm is quiet dur
ing study hours, checking rooms
for neatness, and marking the
names of the offenders in their
little black books. Mrs. Helen
Longnecker sees to it that infor
mation is transmitted between the
dorm students and the admin
istration.
Along with their other duties,
the Council also plans social func
tions such as the dance held Sat
urday, October 8, in Erie Hall.
There will also be other activities
throughout the year in which they
will lend a hand.
The girls should be commended
on a big job well done.
Dorm Chatter
By Eileen Kowalczyk
Straight from the dorm come
these flashes:
Bonnie Hugus, a cute freshmen,
has been getting the rush from
two sophomore boys on campus.
Why not let the other girls in on
your secret, Bonnie?
The girls in the dorm have been
complaining about our popular
gal, Donna Tokar. Seems that
Donna ties up the phone with all
her phone calls.
Christmas was rushed a little
this year. Several weeks ago Judy
Young dressed as Santa Claus and
traveled to all the rooms with her
pack on her back wishing every
one a Merry Christmas.
If anyone is 'wondering what
all the confusion in the dorm was
the other night, ask the girls in
the eight girl suite. It seems Gret
chen Muth entertained them with
her dancing across the .tops of
the bunks. Gretch looked real
“collegiate” (How about that,
Marilyn?) with a scarf tied tur
ban style around her head and a
tennis racket as a sword. Not too
funny!
Mrs. Ann Ring, our housekeep
er, has taken up a new profession
as a beautician. Her first cus
tomers were Harriet Szatkowski
and Dot Blazer.
Nancy Newman was the hap
piest girl in the dorm, by far, the
other night after she received a
phone call from her boyfriend in
California.
What is this we hear about Judy
Young and her golfing? Tell us
about it sometime, Judy.
How about the night Dot Blazer
was exploring the roof of the
dorm?
Then there was the night Eileen
Kowalczyk and Janie McCreary
dressed up for their preview of
the Homecoming Dance. Frankly,
it looked more like a preview for
Duffy’s Tavern, what do you think,
girls?
Marilyn Pringle, Linda Hamer,
and Judy Young run for mail
call everyday (the first ones to
get there). Maybe they miss Paul,
Bill, and Bill (respectively) who.
axe all serving their country in
the armed forces. MAYBE!
Bye till next time.
Featuring Jay Roling-Virfuoso
By Beverly Smith
Do you have a picture in your
mind of what you think a violin
ist should look like? Now com
pare that picture with Jay Roling,
who is an accomplished violinist.
They really don’t look too much
alike, do they?
Jay, unlike most young boys,
always wanted to play the violin.
He received his first violin for
Christmas the year he was in
eighth grade. When he took it to
school he was told he would never
play because of a bad ear. Mr.
Howard Schilken was his first
teacher, and after Jay worked
with him for six months he
achieved Concert Master of Roose
velt Junior High School. After he
went to Academy, Jay played
third chair, and very shortly be
came Concert Master there.
When he was in the tenth grade,
■Jay played in the Junior Philhar
monic under the direction of Fritz
Mahler. Last year, because of the
help and guidance of Mr. William
Hover, he obtained an audition
from Dr. Sample, the director of
Erie’s Philharmonic Orchestra,
and for the past year has played
second violin with the organiza
tion.
Jay’s favorite selections are
“Hot Canary” by Paul Nero, and
“Meditation” from Thais by
Massere. The hardest piece he has
ever played is Mendelsohn’s “Vio
lin Concerto.”
The violin Jay uses today was
given to him two years ago by
Mr. Schilken. It is an original
Hopf, which Mr. Schilken played
for the Cleveland Philharmonic.
Though it was a dearly treasured
item because of its background,
he gave it to Jay as a gift. The
violin was made in 1790 and
brought to America before the
War of 1812. One day during the
war, the British ransacked the
house of the owner. Not wanting
the British to seize his prized pos
session, he put the violin in a
burlap bag and walked out with it
as his sole possession. The strategy
worked; the British did not take
it from him. However, during the
process, the violin received a few
injuries in the belly (back). De
spite this, it has only been re-
paired once, in 1910
Jay likes to play the .violin
strictly as a hobby. He would like,
however, to continue playing for
the Philharmonic. Jay would
rather play for the public than
for his friends—as he says, “They
are much too civilized.” We do
know that his friends will dispute
that statement.
Jay and his violin have taken
part in many activities, namely:
Duffy’s Tavern, when Chuck
Agner and he imitated the liber
aces, and, on the more serious
side, at Eastertime he played “Ave
Maria.”
You can usually find Jay in the
cafeteria pondering over the ar
rangements for the Behrend Sing
ers. He is now working on some
Penn ' State songs. Jay, with. the
help of his violin, is directing the
chorus, and he seems quite hope
ful for the coming events.
Nittany Cub
Gets Rolling
The Nittany Cub staff will have
the following organization, ac
cording to Mr. Thurbon, student
newspaper advisor.
All staff members automatically
qualify for pins at the end of the
school year, but in order to be
come full-fledged members eligi
ble to receive pins they must meet
certain requirements.
Persons holding editorial posi
tions during the term rate pins
for the type of work they do. The
writers, however, will be expected
to turn in and have published in
the Cub a definite number of
column inches of copy the
time the last edition comes out.
The exact number will be posted
in the Cub office at an early date.
Students hoping to qualify as
business staff members will be ex
pected to procure from local mer
chants a minimum of seven ads
each. Forms for this purpose are
available in the Cub office.
Mr. Patterson, professor of
mathematics, has kindly consent
ed to handle most of the photo
graphic work for the paper, but
occasional art work, such as car
tooning and the like, may be need
ed and a student may find it pos
sible to become a staff member
and thereby rate a pin through
this type of contribution.
