THE NITTANY CUB
A good selection of today’s most
popular books is now available
from the Behrend library. The
fall Student Council presented
the books in the form of a mem
bership to the Book-of-the-Moni.—
Club. The seven best sellers, plus
a 40 volume edition of Shakes
peare’s complete works, provide
something for every taste.
Leading the list of new bco
is “Dr. Zhivago”, by Boris Pas
temak. Mr. Pasternak’s winning
the Nobel prize was the culmina
tion of success with a book that
has won worldwide acclaim, but
was censored in Russia because it
deplored the corruption of com
munism and called for a retur:.
to Christian ethics.
Next is “Aku-Aku” by Thor
Hyerdahl, author of Kon-Tiki.
This is an adventure story of the
South Pacific, centering on mys
terious Easter Island and its
strange stone statues. Another
non-fiction selection is “The
Dead Sea Scrolls” by Millar Bur
rows. Mr. Burrows, a leading stu
dent of these ancient records,
summarizes the story of their dis
covery and translates the most
interesting ones.
The “Winthrop Woman” by
Anya Seton, and “The Wapshot
has Janet Johnson been so happy
lately?. . . . What is Jack Raeder’s
favorite television prog r a m?
Could it be Peter Gunn, Jack?
. Who on campus has the nick
name of “Handshake?” ... I hav
heard that a certain student on
campus is the victim of infatu
ation; it could be you!
“Clothes make the man” is a rule familiar to ns all; yet,
it has been showing its rough edges here at Behrend, mainly
because of carelessness. Neatness in appearance has a tre
mendous effect upon a student’s life in college and after
graduation. Can a student perform an orderly assignment if
he is not neat and orderly himself? Assuming he becomes aj
teacher, can he command respect from students by appearing
before them in a bedraggled condition? The answers are an
obvious no.
Your appearance is the other person’s first, and some-a
times last, impression of you. A person can form this impres-|
sion without even knowing your personality or character.!
What impressions do visitors and co-ordinators take back!
to the main campus when they come upon one of our “gems”!
in the hallways of Turnbull Hall? jt
Keeping these thoughts in mind, let’s be careful about'
what we wear. Not all of us can afford to appear in the latest]
collegiate fashions, but we can be examples of cleanliness and
neatness most of the time when not engaged in extra-cur-]
ricular activities such as decorating for big functions and the
like.
Library Adds Books
By Tom Hadley
How Do You Look?
Chronicle” by John Cheever are
both novels of New England. The
first is a story of Elizabeth Win
throp, niece of the governor, and
her life in “bigoted, savage” 17th
century Massachusetts. The sec
ond is a witty story of Leander
Wapshot and several generations
of his family.
Another member of the collec
tion is the Pulitzer Prize novel,
“A Death in the Family” by
James Agee. This is the story of
a small boy and how he reacts
to sudden tragedy. “Only in
America” by Harry Golden com
pletes the list. This is a humorous
description of American life and
people.
These newest selections are not
the only interesting and exciting
books which Miss Schumacher,
the librarian, has waiting for you
at the library. She invites you to
stop in and browse through the
collection at your convenience.
