THE N.ITTANY CUB Around The Campus By Terry Herrick Now that freshmen customs are over, most of us have come out of hiding and started talking to the sophomores. Cipriani. Thom as. Hannah, and Rote never thought there > were so many freshmen. Recently, the Stull Hall boys defeated a dorm team in a prac tice football game. How about that, Wes? ' The library is a popular hang hut for the smart set. Saw Burt -Haekenburg, Sara Lewis. Ruth •Angelotti, and Dick Fenstermaker •there the other day.

The dorm life is quite an ex perience for all the 24 students staying here this year. The biggest change is the mas culine voices coming from - the -upstairs of the. administration building which serves as the dormitory. A midnight swirri is always good for -you. wouldn’t you agree, Marsh, Dave, and Herb? It’s so refreshing after an evening of nothing but studying: after all. it is a convenient time for those without bathing suits, right, George? All of us hope that you' eat as well' as we do here. I think I speak for ail the fellows in say ing that the food • has been de licious. Even though we have to wear our sport jackets or suit coats, this is offset by having our evening meal served to us.- We have inquired as to who stayed here previously, the rea son for this being that some of the' objects found in secluded places around the rooms most certainly weren’t used by dorm boys. . . There are" some boys who dare to disagree with the majority, for example, on such matters -as clothing: The “Man from Turkey” staged a one man revolt against' jvy Teague • clothing; hut after it appeared to be a losing battle, he finally conformed. MEET YOUR FACULTY By Evelyn Bernhard if you ever need advice on your curriculum, individual courses of study, or personal problems, turn to Ernest Fryer, our psychology professor, guidance counselor, and all around helping hand. Mr. Fryer .is originally from Boyertown, Pa. and knew Mr. Kochel. In fact, they were child hood pals, and hadn’t seen- each other for years until they both met. again at Behrend. Although Mr. Fryer attended the Pennsyl vania State Teachers’ College in Loekhaven, he was graduated from Penn State and received his masters degree there. He ma jored in clinical psychology and speech pathology, and, for the first six years at Behrend;.he aid ed. in the- rehabilitation of stu dents having speech difficulties through the- Speech- Clinic. This is his first' year for teaching psychology exclusively, although Mr. Fryer has taught the subject from time to-time. At. the present time,- Mi-. Fryer is hard; at work- on his doctorate which he- is striving, to obtain from Western Reserve University in Cleveland:., If you should , see a blond cock er spaniel trotting around campus followed by two small', children, you can be. sure that ah three be long- to- -Mr. Fryer. The cocker answers to the name. Fluffy, and the children are six-year-old Linda .and eight-year-old Allen. Mr. Fryer’s demure wife, Bernice, hails from Oklahoma where she majored in home economics. Behrend Cent By Lea Moses Tain Dark! Handsome! That is 5' 10" brown-eyed Chuck Sim- ons. Chuck is a freshman, but he has seen much of the Behrend Campus as a -student in the Speech Clinic last year. After be ing- subjected to feshmen customs this year. Chuck had just one re mark. “RIDICULOUS.” Chuck is interested in sports and served- as our bowling alley manager last year. He-is interested in fishing, hunting, and tennis. This year he plans to participate in intramural football, soccer, and bowling. Chuck is enrolled in business administration with a major in accounting. Chuck comes from Oil City to the Center and is stay ing in the dormitory. He says it is quite an experience after be ing accustomed to a private home. This past summer Chuck woi’k ed as a sheet metal apprentice to earn the money to go to- school. By the way, girls, as most of you have noticed. Chuck is 'wearing a class ring on his little finger. The girl is Marian Ryhd who was a student.on our campus last year and this year is at State Callege. Chuck is planning to go to main campus next year. Then there are clothes to be washed. For this purpose we have the modern convenience of an automatic washer and dryer. Some day one of us.“would be” en gineers may design one of the ultra-modem washers or dryers, but to operate- one is something altogether different. After all, you have to-get that knob turned to the right place, insert the quart- Ernest E.
