A need for younger members
was also expressed by Mr. Black.
"This is an enthusiastic new
club", he said, "and we need
freshmen for next year's nucleus."
Hula Twist Part of
Saturday's Activities
Behrend Campus Students Prepare yourselves for the biggest
serise of social activities ever to hit Behrend Campus. None other
than your best girl or beau will suffice for this weekend. So, make
your plans now. Be sure to get your "tux" ordered or your formal
cleaned_
You'll be needing a bathing suit, a tennis racket, some soccer
shoes, some ping pong balls, and any other sporting equipment
you can think of. You had better talk to Dad now about the car,
because you can't let yourself get caught without some "wheels".
Other required equipment you will be expected to bring with you will
consist of your unlimited supply of energy (don't forget salt tab
lets), a loud and strong voice,
some NoDoz, an appetite for
Hawaiian delicacies, and your
most festive personality
Friday, the eighteenth of May

social events the Prom. Plans
for the Prom, under the super

underway, and the dance promises
to be the most elaborate ever
held on our campus. The Prom
will begin at eight in the evening,
and will last until the wee hours
of Saturday morning.
Later on in the day, one-thirty

Behrend Campus' Spring Carnival
will begin our swing into Spring.
Starting off the fesivities will be
a double-header with Jamestown.
The Behrend Bombers Baseball
Boys will take to the field at two
o'clock for their last two games
of an undoubtedly successful sea
son. After thoroughly trouncing

their bathing suits or grass skirts
and head for our heated swim

and a real Hawaiian type (luau?).
The Ham o t nurses, direct
from the sandy shores of the
"Public Dock" on State Street will
serve their Caucasian delicacies
donned in native costumes, as all
participants will be expected to
wear. Of course, if you don't
happen to have your grass skirt

certain requirements. These re

Behrend to Obtain
A New Scoreboard
Elections for new members of
the SGA for the next school year,
were held during Common Hour,
Thursday, April 12. The results
of the election show that Dave
Craley, Bob Williams, James Run
zo, John Thompson, and Mary
Kennedy are the new council
members.
Also at the election the vote
was taken on what to do with
the ninety-one dollars in the class
gift fund. Some of the suggestions
were: lights for the tennis courts,
shrubbery for around the new
building, and a score board for
the new athletic field. The latter
was decided to be the recipient of
the money.
At the close of the election,
Dean Lane stressed the necessity
for always having a student gov
ernment. He went on to comment
that several colleges have lost
their voice to the administration
by not having any student partici
pation in the student government
associations.
