Behind the Scenes By Nancy Newman Now that the mad rush for costumes that preceded the Mardi Gras is over, dormlife has settled down to its usual roar. LaLa Terlizzi, Marilyn Pringle, Linda Hamer, and Beth Margolis have recently returned from an ex cursion to State. It seems they all had a very nice time, with Linda Hamer bringing home a nice souvenir in the form of a certain fellow’s ring. What’s this we hear? Dick and Don and the two Laurie’s celebrated leap year by a turn-about treat last week end, with the girls picking up the checks. How about that? Wouldn’t it be nice if the dorm girls could enjoy the company of a basket ball team for dinner every day as they did the day of the Mc- Keesport game? Becky Wilson and Bonnie Hugus were up to their usual tricks again on Sunday. They decided to play army and marched to Wes leyville. Linda Hamer, Marilyn Pringle, Beth Margolis, Laurie Brutout, Dot Blazer, Raleigh Chesley, and Don McLaughlin are comtemplating another trip to State for this weekend, and Quite a few of the girls are planning to go home. Last weekend Marilyn Buchanich, Sally Gardner, and Elaine Deets took a trip home, while Connie Taylor paid a visit to her relatives in New Kensing ton. Janie McGeary also took a trip home, and by the sounds of it she really had a wonderful time with a certain old friend. Gret chen Muth and Dick Mytinger also caught the going home spirit when last Sunday they took a trip to New Wilmington to visit her parents. As the time for history students’ book reports is drawing near, we find Barbara Bell busily reading a book on the life of Boss Tweed. Judy Young, Sue Hansen, and Laurie Brutout are doing a good job of keeping up with the busy eight-room. While Judy is busily snapping pictures, Laurie is in dustriously - working on the play, with Sue Hansen up to her old tricks of chasing Bob Purucker. If you ever hear someone call ing, "Gramma,” you will know that it is Bill Mong, alias “Boo’, call ing Bev Stiver. Harriet Szatkowski Is now re ceiving her mail under a new name Harriet Stevens. What’s up Harriet? That just about winds it up for this chapter in the life of the dorm girls. See you in the next issue. Social Side Continued from Page 3 life at Behrend to become a “nothing.” Another branch of the Penn State University, McKeesport Center, was our rival at the last basketball game. As three girls were walking down to the gym that night they could hear the bellowing shouts of the crowd as they cheered our team on to victory. The strange thing about it was that the gym was so over crowded with enthusiastic fans that some had to be moved out to the parking lot. Just for the rec ords that’s where they spent the rest of the evening. The dance which followed the game was such, a huge success that the social com mittee at Behrend Center is thinking about having Dave Bru beck up for a jam session in March. Since space is limited in our Nittany Cub, I cannot relate to you any more of the social calen dar, but do keep in touch. Louis Gwin i By Judy Young Hey, you all, meet Lewis Lee Gwin, who came from the golden sunny South to attend school at Behrend Center. By now you should have heard his soft south ern drawl either in the library or somewhere around the campus. I Lewis was bom May 26, 1934, in Norfolk, Virginia, where he has spent all of his life except for seven months spent in Jacksonville, Fla., a year ago. Graduating in 1953, after attending Maury High School, he was then accept ed at Elon College, N. C. After studying there one year, he decid ed to come to The Pennsylvania State University to see how he would like a Northern school. Lewis is in the secondary educa tion curriculum, and is majoring in history, with English literature as his minor. As one would ex pect, history is his favorite sub ject. Dancing and dramatic work are included in his versatile interests, and he also enjoys swimming and fishing. Appropriately, too, here on the beautiful Behrend Center campus, under Mr. Hover’s watch ful guidance, Lewis has started to learn the fundamentals of photo graphy. In addition, he hopes to leam more about golf, so the golf team had better be on the look out for prospective fellow turf takers. Although he is interested in most outdoor sports, Lewis en joys music as much as anything. When asked if he liked to paint, he said that he could appreciate good painting but that he didn’t have the patience even to take up painting as a hobby. Actually, he struck this reporter as being a most easy-going, patient chap. Lewis’ ambition is to teach his- ’Round the Town By Elaine Peplinski All abroad! The Commuters’ Special is about to depart. Hurry if you want to get a seat; most of them are already taken. There’s Martha Mulligan up in the front. Why so lonesome, Martha? Is it because Tom will be gone for two whole weeks? (Martha will thank you to save your remarks, O’Connor.) June Krebs is sitting by the window, still holding her badmin ton racquet. She is determined to win a game against Compy, but so far it takes her half an hour to score a single point. Keep try ing, June. Leave it to Don Lynch to get the back seat, just as he does in class. Don is looking very healthy, and reports that Diane is an excellent cook. We have several seasoned travelers on board this morning. Beth Margolis is still glowing from her weekend at State. Even Pneu monia couldn’t have kept her home. Don Berger went down to the campus, too, and says he had a great time. Alice Darwin visited her fiance in Sandusky, Ohio Roger Sanford went to New Brighton, where he took the tri umphant fifth place in a skating contest - - - And Jay Roling visited Patty in Pittsburgh. Now that you’ve back Jay, may we suggest that you stop frightening the office clerks? Well, we are almost there, folks. We just have time to sing a birth day chorus to Harriet Einke. And here we are - All out for Behrend. THE NITTANY CUB the Limelight tory and English literature some where, he hopes, in the South. Right now, though, he chuckled, "My present ambition is to finish college!” Until the second semes ter of next year, Lewis plans to study at Behrend Center, before going on to the Main Campus. When asked if he preferred the South to the North, Lewis good naturedly said that on account of the weather he likes the South. But then, who wouldn’t? One of the most important fact's of Lewis’s life is that he is an excellent public speaker. After winning a speech contest in high school, he went on to win first place in the Area, City, and State championships, but was defeated in the, National Speech Contest in Dayton, Ohio, where he spoke on "Distributive Education in Public Schools.” We believe this to be a major undertaking in itself and a wonderful accomplishment. Good luck to Lewis in the future, and we think all of you will agree, he has a good start. Bz. Administraiton Giub Organized Under the able direction of our favorite accounting and econom ics instructor, Mr. Donald Beal, a Business Administration Club has been organized for all those interested in this field. The club plans numerous excursions to var ious local business establishments in addition to the regular club meetings. Representatives of Erie industrial organizations have been invited to speak .at these meet ings, and will be announced for all those who would like to at tend. At a recent meeting, the fol lowing officers were elected: Dick Webster, president; Bob Bainbridge, vice president; Har riet Szatkowski, secretary, and Bob Altsman, treasurer. Continued from Page 3 a glance in the girl’s gym class will show them actively engaged in badminton. They have started playing singles and doubles and will probably have the opportunity to use their skills in the class tournaments which will be com ing up shortly. Mrs. Comstock is also trying to organize a Women’s Athletic As sociation to give awards for points received as a result of participa tion in golf, ping-pong, tennis, swimming, basketball, and many other activities. All women stu dents would automatically become members upon enrollment at the Center and would elect an execu tive board to regulate the Associa tion’s activities. This plan will be submitted to Student Council for approval in the very near future. “Compy’s Cuties” Clinically Speaking By Donna Youngblood and Mary Lon Womer Well, as you have probably al ready noticed we have four new students in our speech clinic. They are: Mary Louise Axton, Oil City; Rebecca Schull, Frank lin; Donna Youngblood, James town; and Clyde Moore, Mead ville. Everybody seems happy and pleased with life at Behrend Cen-- ter. As you probably know, we stu dents in the Speech Clinic are here to study our handicaps and to become more objective about them. Now, we would like to ask our new classmates a few questions which have puzzled us. Arthur Godfrey, (Clyde Moore), How do you like your speech pro gram everyday? By the way, Mary Louise, do you make a habit of putting your boots in the bathtub? Is Donna Youngblood soon to 'become an expert ping pong play er under the special guidance of two professionals? Detective Betty Schull, have you discovered who stole your cheese and left you to starve? There is not much to say about the students of last semester who reumed, except that they are glad to toe back. That's all, see you next month. Chatter Continued from Page 3 a clean meaning. Congratulate Mr. Beal on being initiated into his new fraternity. All night long at the Mardi Gras, he was wandering around, mut tering, "Pi, Pi, Pi!” Raleigh: “I only go out with [girls who wear glasses.” Harriet: “Why?” Raleigh: “I breathe on them and then they can’t see what I’m doing.” It’s not really true that Bill Mong and Bev Stiver are married. They were just kiddin’. Weren’t they? And I remember the time last year when daring W. O. was married for a while. Mrs. L: “Gretchen, I wish you’d stop reaching for things at the table. Haven’t you a tongue?” • Gretchen: “Yes, Mrs. L, but my arms are longer.” Is it true that the University plans to serve liver three times a day at the dorm? Oh, well, Leader had to do something to keep the school going. It would seem odd if: Gene Thomas got a "B” in something; Jack Mallory didn’t want an Econ blue-book; Laurie Hill walked without a limp; Bonnie were seen without'lgg; Prank (Bones) Si mon flunked Phys- Ed. It’s too bad that Behrend end ed its basketball games with Jamestown when it did. It was developing into such a friendly rivalry. Isn’t that right, Bones? Why does Janie McGeary re fuse a coke from Wally O’Neil even when he buys it? And -with this charming, col legiate, literary masterpiece, we close: “School days, schools days, Dear old golden rule days. She was my gal in calico; I was her bashful barefoot beau. And coyly wrote on her slate: ‘Keep out of the sun, Babe, everybody’s looking through your dress’.” FOR FINE JEWELRY SEE FORD E.
