Established October 26. 1943, as the official publication for the student body of Pennsylvania State University, Behrena Campus, Erie, Pennsylvania. Published by the Breeze Publishing Co., North East, Pennsyl vania Editor-in-chief Business Manager Assistant Editors Feature Editors Faculty Advisor Photo Consultant _ Staff Writers Wanted: Support for Council “Why can’t we have more social activities? This place is really dead! Why don’t we have organized activities every week-end? Who is in charge of this type of thing around the Campus anyway?” This sort of idle chatter is heard in the cafeteria, lounge, library and even in the classrooms. We call it idle chatter because it is a waste of time to talk about something when we could get out and do something about it! With very little investigation we find that Behrend‘s Student Council subsidizes most of the clubs and special activities on Campus. For instance, all of the following are subsidized by Student Council: athletics and recreations, Common Hour Assemblies, dramatics, Engineers Club, Speech Club, yearbook, newspaper, orientation week, dances, and all-school activities. No matter what curriculm we happen to be enrolled un der, some of these activities must affect our campus life. This should give us sufficient reason for being interested in Student Council, for we are .actually only showing interest in our own activities. Yet, only approximately one third of Behrend Campus’s entire student body appeared to vote for second semester student council representatives. This small attendance shows definite lack of sustenance for our newly-elected Council. How can we expect them to plan an extensive extracurricular program when we show such lack of support and interest in Behrend’s student life? If You Ask My Opinion... By Betsy Gardner 6.

THE NIITANT CUB Gay Kinsinger Man of the Hour By Grace Rowland Plashing dark eyes and an im pish grin hail the coming of our student personality, Edward Charles Onorato. When we inter viewed Ed, he grinningly told that the reason no "junior” or “2nd” appeared after his name is because he is original. Ed. who lives in Erie, attended Erie Technical High where ne made a name for himself in sports. He played right guard on Tech’s football team and was an All-City player in both "56 and ’57. His prowess in wrestling was shown by his being a City Champ and a District 10 Champ. Ed is furthering his interest in spore by wrestling on Behrend’s ma- team and by being “Onorato’s Opulent tion,” an intramural team. ca P t pastimes is driving, his green Hud- Organiza- son the modified front end. basketball jn connection with this is Ed’s secret ambition to be a test driv- Ed is in the engineering course, er for General Motors and to own and from Behr end he plans to go to State. When asked about his plans for the future, Ed replied, “My brother wants me to join the Marines, but I hope to stay out if possible.” As a hobby, Ed makes arrows for his bow. These, he explained, are to be used on deer, and he confessed that he will chase two legged “dear” with them if he has to. Another of his favorite Professor's Photos Widely Acclaimed By Lorraine Prokopowicz An instantaneous flash of light at any Behrend Campus dance is certain to be emitted near Mr. Norman Patterson, assistant pro fessor of mathematics, whose ab sorbing hobby is photography. Mr. Patterson adopted the shutter bug’s delight about seven years ago and has steadily- pursued this interest, learning from experience. Most of his shots are products of a Rolleicord camera and a home processing. Mr. Patterson shoots “whatever is a good picture,” some of which have merited laurels. A few years ago, Mr. Patterson won the sec ond place ribbon for the shot of two snowy geese surrounded by little ones, described as “Bulganin and Khrushchev ' flanked by guards,” in a contest sponsored by the Photographic Society of Amer- The Pittsburgh Press also awarded him the grand prize, sixty dollars, of 1957 for the candid of Easter ducklings, possessions of the dorm girls, gracing Behrend’s pool. Since then, Mr. Patterson states, he is “avoiding fowl sub Jtfe, ** v^a Ed Onorato a sleek, black “Chevy” Corvet. Ed’s diversions are dancing and sleeping. About these he com ments that he likes slow dancing best, and that he will only stay up late for very special reasons. The best proof we have of Ed’s fine personality and spontaneous wit is the fact that he is the most recent honorary male member of the Snake Pit, dorm secret chap ter. jects.” Mr. Patterson’s photography! has practical value, too. In addi-| tion to providing pleasure, his| hobby is instrumental in obtain-j ing essential pictures for tnej Behrend Yearbook, the Nittany: Cub, and the Erie Times. j - Mrs. Patterson is an encourag-j ing appraiser of her husband's; pictures. ‘ [ Mr. Patterson was formerly a= member of the Erie Photographic- Society and is currently active ini the Y.M.C.A.
