Common Hour |
Every Thursday morning at 10
is Common Hour. It is designed to
keep one hour. a week at which
time all students may assemble.
During the Common Hour vari
ous programs, under the direction
of Dean Lane, are presented. They
include Student Council elections
and guest speakers. Also, many of
the clubs on campus hold their
meetings at this time.
The Common Hour was origi
nally designed to present only cul
tural programs. Unfortunately,
money is needed to provide pro
fessional speakers; more money
than the Student Council has been
able to allot. This does not mean,
however, that good programs are
not presented. Last year, Karole
Panameroff, a former Behrendite,
spoke about her trip to Russia.
This year, Dean Lane hopes to
have speakers from the Main Cam
pus and from the businesses and
industries in the Erie area. Also,
it is hoped that once a month a
cultural program can be presented.
All students are urged to attend
these worthwhile programs. -

BEHREND CAMPUS—Pennsylvania State University
BEHREND BRIEFS
The University’s program of
naming residence hall units for
counties 'of the State has been cited
by “Public- Relations News” for
special attention, praising the pro-. 1
ject as a method of combating mis
conceptions about the University.
It was pointed out that the project
was aimed at clearing up the no
tions that much State money is
spent on lavish residence halls and
that no effort is being made to
combat “bigness”.
Access to parking lots near
Beaver Stadium for the football
games have been clearly marked
to keep traffic moving swiftly and
safely. Signs refer to specific lots.
Red and green are for ticket buy
ers who have reserved spaces; they
are closest to the field. Black areas

Mock Election
October 11
Although the student council
elections have caused much discus
sion and interest, it must not be
forgotten that there has also been
another campaign raging in this
land of ours. Through keen obser
vation, it has been noticed that
several students have developed an
interest in this, - the national
election.
The Nittany Cub announces it
will sponsor a mock election on
campus,. to be held on Tuesday,
October 11. Naturally, there will
be certain procedures and require
ments concerned with the voting.
Each student may vote once, and
only once. When voting, each stu
dent must also present his ma
triculation card for identification.
The “polls” will be open from
10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Erie
Hall. You may campaign, give
speeches, or hold rallies. Make it a
point to cast a vote for your can
didate.
