Sno-Ball
Starts Rolling
The committee for the annual
fall prom, the Sno-Ball, met re
cently to begin plans for the De
cember 9 dance.
Joe Sostarich and Bob Vincent
are Chairman and Vice-chairman
respectively. They formed several
sub-committees including enter
tainment (Mike Mulligan, Jim ftei
chard, and John Chriest), ticket
and favor (Pat Nardueci, Marilyn
Sponsler, Sharon Haise, and Bob
Arkangel), and decoration (John
Tinsley and Gary Agnew).
TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT

scholastic attainment and should
make this fact known to the stu
dent at once. A student whose ir
regularity in attendance causes
him, in the judgment of the in
structor, to become deficient scho
lastically may run the risk of re
ceiving a failing mark or receiving
a lower grade than he might have
secured had he been in regular
attendance.
Instructors should provide, with
in reason, opportunity to make up
work for students who miss class
for regularly scheduled, Univer
sity-approved curricular and extra
curricular activities (such as field
trips, debate trips, choir tours, and
athletic contests). However, if
such scheduled trips are considered
by the instructor to be hurting the
student’s scholastic performance,
he should present such evidence for
necessary action to the head of the
department in which the course is
offered and to the dean of the col
lege in which the student is en
rolled.
You are reminded that those
students who are doing well on our
campus are permitted, with the
consent of the instructor being
visited, to sit in or audit courses
other than those for which they
are officially enrolled.
THE LAST WORD
Employer—“ Yes, I advertised for
a good strong boy. Think you
can fill the bill?
Applicant—“ Well, I just finished
whipping nineteen other appli
cants outside the door.”

The Great
Turkey Returns
by PAT NARDUCCI
At this rather dramatic juncture
in the calendar year, Americans
are asked to recall with fondness
the Mayflower, Miles Standish,
and the courage and fortitude of
the first settlers.
Needless to say, the modem
American’s reflections do not
normally run along such idealistic
lines. Thanksgiving is but another
date night for over-zealous
steadies, a chance to televise a
Game of the Week, and an oppor
tunity to contract cancer from
contaminated cranberries.
The newspapers and television
newscasts will be filled with pleas
antries about how the new Presi
dent-elect and family enjoyed the
holiday. Undoubtedly a Turkey-
Tide message will drip as honey
from his lips into our homes and
hearts ... so to speak.
All hail,

ENGLE'S LANCERS
(Continued from Page 3)
The closing game of the season
pits State against arch-rival Pitts
burgh, in their annual battle of
Pennsylvania’s supremacy. Note
that every year State seems bowl
bound, Pitt has played the role of
spoiler, and vice-versa. We hope
that State continues to follow tra
dition and smashes Johnny Mia
losen’s squad by a large margin.
And as that great philosopher,
Zelda Schwartz, once said: “To
win, or not to win, whether ’tis
nobler, oh the hell with it, Fight
On State.”
And then there was a baby
stork who asked his mother where
he came from.
“See you’re getting quite chummy
with your Profs.”
“Yes. Familiarity sometimes
breeds exempts.” l

November 9, 1960 at Port Behrend. Although the weather proved
unsuitable for the occasion, a relatively large local crowd gathered
to witness the christening by Miss Constance Gibson and the ship’s
first plunge into the murky depths.
Campus Clubs Commence
The Literary Club, under the supervision of Dean B. A. Lane, has
met twice to elect officers and to form a Program Committee which has
devised a semester schedule of meetings designed to expedite business
and to present a program evolving around- a central, theme to be read
and discussed.
The officers of the Literary Club are Ed Mandel, President; Anita
MacCallister, Vice-president; and Gene Nutter, Secretary-Treasurer.
Also formed was the Program Committee consisting of Mary Lloyd,
Anita MacCallister, Kathy Dayton, Grace Davies and Gene Nutter.
Having adopted the plan that there would be two meetings a month,
one business and one cultural, the Program Committee submitted the
following, approved schedule:

My Fair Lady and West Side Story.
