As you all should know by now, a new bowling league has been formed. Teams started roll ing officially at 6:45 P. M. Feb ruary 28- The league has six teams this semester, and from the looks of their rosters some pretty tough ones. Boy, that faculty is really loaded this time, Thurbon, Pat terson, Kochel, EtAll. It should al so be noted that the D. Ps. finally got a team together called the “Techsons”. I haven’t figured out whether that means Sons of Tech or if it’s just the Japanese influ ence that rubbed off on some of the vets. While perusing the team ro sters I noticed a couple of new names like' Legenzoff, Shrivex, O’Neal, Starkey, Pasquino and a few others. Some of them were down at the alleys practicing up a bit and look pretty good to me. Since this column must be ready before the league starts, I think 111 give you a resume of the league setup. League bowling will be every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night for five weeks. Games will start at 6:45 P. M., and any team not repre sented by four players by 7:00 P. M. will forfeit. In case of for feit, those present may bowl and their averages will be accepted by the league. Teams may bowl with a minimum of four players and a maximum of six players. A new substitution rule has been made up allowing team captains to use any bowlers but those who are al ready on a team roster. So team captains take notice, we want a full team every night. As for the cost of bowling, it remains the same, I’m sorry to say. Still $.30 cents a line. The bowling committee, Mr. Kochel, and myself all did our best to lower the prices, but expenses from last semester would not al low a reduction in price. Bowling was big business last semester, 'but buying equipment was big business too. So here we are and there it is- as “Lonesome George” would say it. Open bowling has a new look this semester. The alleys -will be available from 6:30 P. M. to 8:30 P. M. every Monday night. You can also bowl on the weekends by contacting “yours truly”, Bob Harris. When things get a little, boring and hard to take on Sat ;urday and Sunday just call on i old Bob and we’ll liven things up [with a little bowling. The cost of open bowling is the same as it is for league, $.30 cents per line. You can beat this by setting your own pins, it’s only $.20 cents a line that way. The next time you have a spare buck (what a beautiful thought) come out and bowl. Well, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the new league and new faces, maybe a little some thing about the old would be in line. We’ve lost a few people due to transfers, etc. who I think we’ll all miss. One face for sure we’ll miss is that of Bill Schweitzer, last semester’s alley manager. Boy, I can still hear the crash of those strikes when Bill threw that can non ball of his. Another who isn’t returning is John Kolpien, last semester’s high game man. That 221 of Johns will be a good mark for all you ibowlers to shoot for ' this semester. Honey Greenlee will be missed also by many of us. Some of last semesters bowlers who are still here at “Dear Old B. C.” are not represented on a team. Sure hope you team cap tains will get after those people and use them as substitutes. Well folks, that’s the shape of things to be and things that were. Bowling is a fine sport, and a lot of friends can be made while bowling, so come on out and give it a try. Good luck to all you bowlers, and may your dreams of 200 games come true- Welcome to the Ranks The Phi Steady Staters Sorori ty welcomes into their member ship Linda Jeanne Hamer and Dorothy Jean Blazer, recently sis terized. The sorority was founded at Behrend Center, with La La Terlizzi as President. The Phi Steady’s will accept new pledges any time, as the whole year has been declared “rush season.”-Good luck prospectives. THE NITTANT CUB SPORT SCOPE By Boss Caruana Behrend Center played their last game of the season against McKeesport and won 74 to 62. This victory gave Behrend a re cord of 8 wins and only 3 losses for the season. A very good re cord indeed. Throughout the season Frank Simon led Behrend on to victory with an average of 24 points per game to take the individual scor ing honors with a total of 292 points. The team, as a whole, played very good ball together, and a lot of credit goes to Coach Simon. Congratulations to the team and Mr. Simon for a very successful year on the basketball court. Continuing on where the varsity left off is the great competitive games of the Intramural basket ball teams. “Easy Going” is lead ing the way in the double elimin ation tourney by winning three and losing none. They are now going into the finals- The “Stars” have won one and lost one, while the “Tamahy Tigers” have lost one game. The Ravens have been eliminated by being defeated by the “Blue Devils”. Simon and Adler seem to be leading the way in the doubles ping pong tournament, but it is still early in the game and a lot can happenl Now that the bowling league is under way and with spring com ing soon the golf clubs will again be swinging, and that should just about fill' out the year of sports, So until next issue when we will have some champs in the differ ent sports, keep the old competi tive spirit going. Compy’s Cuties By Anne Pagel The ball balances precariously on the rim of the basket, takes an unpredictable spin, and then swishes gracefully through the net. An anxious forward wearing a blue and white pinafore sighs in relief, accompanied by the jubi lant shouts of her teammates. Not at all uncommon is this scene among the girls struggling for vic tory in the basketball games of the City Recreational League. The energetic Behrend Center girls who are members of the team are Karole Panameroff, June Krebs, Becky Wilson, Lala Terlizzi, Sue Hansen, Laurie Brutout, ’ Laurie Hill, Marilyn Pringle, Pat Locke, Beverly Stiver, Judy Young, Nancy Newman, Gretchen Muth, and Anne Pagel. These girls, who are playing together for the first time, work hard and do quite well in their weekly games with such longer established teams as Holy Trinity, B. P. Fields, American Sterilizer, and St. Vincent’s Nurs es. They battle out their games on Tuesday and Thursday eve nings in the Strong Vincent gym. Except for a few bumps, a slight fall now and then, or perhaps a twisted ankle, the girls usually emerge none the worse for their endeavor, and they certainly have a lot of fun participating in the games. 1 But, since the basketball .season is drawing rapidly to a close, and Compy likes to keep her girls busy, Continued on Page 4 Chiefly CHATTER By Ron Thomas eye dont no exactlee why im hear writing on this fine papre butt uncle dave sayed i were wun of his gooder comp won studants sew cheer i went. This is a good chance for those people who think I’m “Chenne” to compare this tid bit of sludge with Judy Young’s, I mean Chenne’s, column. There I went and said what I wasn’t supposed to already. Overheard at the Mardi Gras: Eileen Kowalczyk . . . “Just be cause my eyes are red is no sign I’m drunk. For all you know, I may be a white rabbit.” Now that John (friend of the working class) Mallory is Student Council Veep, is it true that Behrend Center will be turned in to a police state? Who takes Poli. Sci? Me? What does Dick Russell mean when he says, “Take a sneak!”? Hint to the dorm girls: If you write funny when you sign out it won’t be so obvious when you come in. Who says they’re changing the name to the “Micque Mouse Fan Club” just because Mickey Brown’s on Student Council now? And why does he go around mumbling, “Lifesmanship, Lifesmanship?” I think he inherited a yacht. Yes, Gary Stultz just can’t wait for the Yacht Club to open for the season, so he can go “Ivy Leaguing” about in his charcoal green, worm-wood paneled (com plete with real worms), seven foot dinghy.

BOTTIED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY ERIE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY "Coke” is a registered trade-mark. <0 W 56, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY The first thing on the agenda for the month of February was the coming-out party for one of our young debutantes, Annie Agner. This was held at Ripley, Pa. with a formal dance held afterwards at the Rock’n Roll Garage in Westfield. The girls were dressed in their finest: suede bermudas, wool knee socks, and sweat shirts. The well dress ed men of Behrend, as usual, ap peared in their levis, engineer boots, matching sweat shirts, and slide rules. From all reports it was simply lovely! Have you heard of the new sor ority on campus? The Phi Steady Staters. The active members are: Sue Hansen, Laurie Brutout, LaLa Terlizzi, Linda Hamer, and Laurie Hill. I predict the pledges will be some of the following: Beverly Stiver, Donna Tokar, Marilyn Buchanich, Anita Formati, and Barbara Bell. The theme song is “Chain Gang.” One of our strongest social workers has finally faded into the background with a Chesterfield and a coke, and a new one has taken the oath. Micque Brown has promised, first to make as many points as possible, then to do all errands, cleaning up, and promot ing of his fellow workers connect ed with Duffy’s Tavern. I’m sure all of you will follow Micque: get on the wagon and help Micque and Mr. Balmer, the faculty ad visor. We don’t want, our social (Continued on Page 4) &
