Wonderland By Night Is Friday
Keystone Society Is
Planned for Behrend
A chapter of the Keystone Society will be organized on Behrend
Campus sometime in the immediate future. The Keystone Society is
an organization of students interested and participating in student
activities at the commonwealth campuses. The Sociey encourages
academic pursuits and provides for the recognition of the student
who is intelligent and finds time for some, or an, extracurricular ac-
tivities, as the all-around student
compared to the antisocial egg
head at these campuses.
Any under-graduate attending
a commonwealth campus who has
had one full term of study and has
attained a 2.5 average or better
and who has no published disci
plinary record and who has been
active in campus service through
participation in at least one
chartered student activity, shall
be eligible for pledgeship to the
local chapter. A member of the
local chapter will be formally ac
cepted into the chapter at an all
campus ceremony.
At the ceremony the pledgee
will receive the Keystone certifi
cate, insignia and the Keystone
keys. Letters, sweaters and hats
will also be made available to
members of the society.
The Keystone Society is a
"dream come true" for people in
student affairs at the common
wealth campuses. The organization
is a step in statewide recognition
for members of the corn-
monwealth campuses

The primary objective of every
college student is to obtain the
compulsory number of credit's
needed to graduate by passing
the required courses. There are
some students who through con
scientious effort and hard work
have acheived a high scholastic

DISCONTENTED?
MOTIVATED?
Are you discontented over gen
eral or particular phases of
Behrend Campus life? Are you
motivated—concerned enough to
try to do something about your
discontent? You can. In the
forthcoming Winter Term issue of
La Critique magazine, the Penn
State literary and critical journal,
a special supplement will be de
voted to discussing and enumerat
ing some of the problems of the
outlying campuses. An adminis
tration study of commonwealth
campus problem areas has long
been in the offing; and through
this special supplement, La Cri
tique would like to put the
plight of the extension campuses
before the student body and the
administration as a whole in an
attempt to hasten that "study."

complaints, observations, or any
other type of information—all
