CUBS SHOCK JOHNSTOWN
IN 88 TO 80 THRILLER
The Behrend Campus Nittany Cubs pulled a shocking 88 to 80
upset over perennial powerhouse Johnstown Junior College Saturday
afternoon and set the stage for perhaps the most optimistic basket
ball outlook in Behrend history. Using a fast break and a man to
man attack, the Cubs led the surprised Johnnies at halftime, 43
to 40, and then put them to rout in the final few minutes of play.
Jim "the Hands" Golembeski and Jack "the Hustler" Bohman
tallied 28 and 22 points respective
19 for good measure.
At 5'6" Bohman hardly seems
to have the height for college
basketball. But what Jack lacks in
height he makes up in hustle. His
sparkling pumpers and fantastic
fast breaking drivers kept the
Cubs constantly in the momentum
that eventually spelled victory.
Golembeski, with those marvelous
hands and tremendous ball con
trol, is at long last the "big man"
Coach Gallagher has been looking
for. Jim pumped sixteen of his
twenty-eight total in the second
half and kept a pressure on
Johnstown she could never over
come. And his spectacular drives
and layups kept the crowd roaring
throughout the game.
The victory evened the Cubs re
cord at one and one. Friday night
at Jamestown they lost a dull af
fair to the tall Muskies, 65 to 44.
Dispite Jim Golembeski's twenty
three points, Behrend failed to
show any sign of an offensive cap
ability reaching the eighty- eight
points it did less than twenty
four hours later. The Cubs un
questionably had stage fright.
They tallied only two goals during
the entire first half and limped
into the dressing room at halftime
trailing by a disappointing 26 to
12. Only when they switched to a
quicker paced man to man did the
chilly blood start moving and the
baskets start coming. But the lead
the Muskies had gained in the
first twenty minutes was too big
for the Cubs to overcome, and the
christening of the new Community
College gymnasium was a rather
large success.
The Cubs are back on the road
this weekend and the two games
they play before the holidays loom
very important indeed. Altoona
and Dubois Campuses supply the
opposition tonight and tomorrow
night. Altoona, Dubois, Johnstown,
Point Park, and Behrend all go
together to comprise the Western

Behrend Will See Many
Changes Over Vacation
The face of Behrend will have undergone extensive plastic
surgery by the time that students resume classes after their Christ
mas vacation.
Changes will be made in four of the campus' buildings during
the December 6-January 7, vacation period. Included among these
buildings are the library, Turnbull Hall, Erie Hall, and the adminis
tration building.
Most thorough revamping is and has been for some time under-
with at least fourth term standing,
regardless of college or' curriculum.
The first program. Elective
Study Abroad, provides for group
study at the University of Col
ogne (Germany) or the Univer
sity of Strasbourg (France). A
program in a Spanish speaking
country is being developed and
may be available for 1963. The
elective study program comprises
one ten-week term each spring
and consist of courses in the hu
manities and social sciences ac
ceptable for Penn State elective
credit. These courses will be
taught in English, usually by for
eign professors, and will focus up
on pertinent aspects of the his
tory, and the social, political
economic, and educational systems
of the country in which the pro
gram is located. Students will al
so be expected to include foreign
language study in their program.
The elective study program has
been arranged in such a way that
a student's graduation from Penn
State will not be delayed. All
course work will be completed
abroad and no problem of trans-1

way in Turnbull Hall. The second
floor of this building will become
the new home of the Behrend
Campus' library. All new furniture
and shelving has been purchased
and is being installed. The offices
of Miss Margaret Schumacher ,
librarian, wall be located at the
south end of the new library.
The first floor of the building
is being transformed into a new
cafeteria with a capacity for
more than twice the number of
students that the present cafe
teria can seat. The dining area
itself will be located in the north
ern half of the new cafeteria.
A kitchen, complete with all
new equipment and steam tables,
is being constructed in the south
east corner of the building. Food
storage space will occupy the op
posite, southwest corner.
With the removal of the library
from its present location, a new.
quiet study lounge will be open
to student use in that building.
No definite plans have yet been
approved for the area left vacant
by the removal of the cafeteria
from the administration building.
It has been suggested, however,
that the space will probably be
used as a study area for the dorm
girls.
Erie Hall will also undergo
several changes. Under an SGA
submitted plan, layout of the
basement recreation area will be
given considerable revamping. Re
location of ping-pong and pool
tables and the purchase of several
new pieces of furniture by the
SGA highlight the changes being
made in this building. The pool
table will also be thoroughly re
pai•red and new balls and cues
purchased.

student will be registered at Penn
