Give Them A Hand!
Have you heard the news? Our lounge has had a re
decorating job! The students themselves did it voluntarily
and were willing to do it without pay!
Upon entering we find a wall-to-wall rug of candy wrap
pers, empty cigarette packages, and cigarette butts, handi
crafted jointly by Jack Stompout, Joe Fliptop, and Mary
Crushabutt. Adorning the various nooks and corners are
Coke and milk bottles, painstakingly placed by John Jerk
and Jane Yogart. On the bridge-playing table is an attrac
tive center piece, the garbage bag left by Matilda Plottrash
after she finished her lunch. There are also traveling deco
rations: the many propped-up feet on the back of the
lounging chairs.
We would like to thank these unselfish individuals who
have given so generously of their time to make the Erie
Hall lounge an attractive meeting place.

Hi
THE NITTANY CUB
Even though our personality
hasn’t had an opportunity to kill
buffalo, he can sure “shoot the
bull”. You can find him actively
engaged in this sport at Jazz
Club parties or in the cafeteria
during his free hours on campus.
After leaving East High where
he was competitive swimming and
water pcdo star, he went to work
for a year at Hammermill. Now
enrolled as a 4th semester sopho
more, much of his class time is
spent with Mr. Vigorito, as he is
a student in business administra
tion.
This active boy is a member of
bowling team No. 1 and intermural
basketball. Recently he served as
chairman of the games and prizes
committee for the Mardi Gras.
He is a whizz at the bridge table,
and lets his favorite partner, a
blond sophomore girl, know when
she makes a mistake.
He is especially fond of the
Kingston Trio and Johnny Mathis
and rates sneezing as one of his
greatest pleasures.
Our personality is famous for
posessing the' talent to be able to
put anything over on anyone. Re-
The Literary Club, just started
this semester, has become a very
active organization. Twenty-six
of the members went to the Erie
Playhouse recently to see "Sunrise
at Campobello.” After the play,
Newell Tarrant, director of the
Playhouse, took the group on a
tour around the building. On
March 13, a meeting was held at
Grace Davies’ home at which time.
each member's favorite poem was
read and discussed. New members
are welcome and urged to attend
the meetings held during the Com
mon Hour. .
On March 13, members of Beh
rend’s Red Cross joined several lo
(cal colleges in an Intercollegiate
Variety Show held at St. Joseph’s
Home for Children in Erie. Among
those who participated were
Richard McCabe, who did some
magic tricks; Beverly Britt, who
presented a dramatic act; Jim
Higgins, Ed Mandel, and Jay
Krimmel, who sang for the group;
and Jim Altman, who was the
emcee of the show.
The next campus meeting will be
held on March 24 during the Com
mon Hour to discuss the club’s
program for the semester. Any
one who is interested in joining
the club may attend this meeting.

cently he sold an air-conditioning
unit to an Eskimo.
One of his nicknames is “lover”,
although it has lost its conotation
in the past year since he has be
come attached to -one girl, his
bridge partner.
If you are still in doubt as to
who our personality is just ask
any sophomore if they remember a
speech entitled “Shave and a Hair
cut.”

ALPHA PHI
The Alpha Phi Omega, Beh
rend’s first fraternity, has an ac
tive program for this semester. A
few of the social activities plan
ned are a semi-formal dance, to be
held in the near future, and a
Hawaiian beach party towards the
end of the semester. Some of
their spring projects consist of
cleaning the swimming pool and
cleaning up the garden behind the
library. Of course, there will be
a party after each of these pro
jects. Business meetings are held
every other week during the Com
mon Hour in Room 101. As all
pledges have not yet been received,
there is still time for new pledges
to join.
JAZZ CLUB
The Jazz Club, with a member
ship of sixty-two, held a meeting
on March 3 in the AV Room. Jack
Raeder gave a talk on hard school
and modern progressive jazz. It
was announced that membership
cards would be given to each mem
ber who attends two on-campus
meetings. This semester’s officers
are Skip Knestrick, president;
Bewerly Britt, secretary; Don
Shelly, treasurer; and Jack Rae
der, who was appointed to give
lectures based on the various
schools of j azz. Anyone who would
like to borrow any of the sixteen
records purchased by the club, may
do so as they are available in the
library for students use.
