Thursday, April 18, 1963 The Nittany Narrator By Dave Craley, Nittany Cub Sports Editor WE'LL BE BETTER than last year" says a confident Coach Gallagher in reflection on the 1963 edition of the Nittany Cub Baseball Nine. "We're hitting the ball well in practice and only the pitching is still doubtful." Doubtful pitching is not a new problem to the Knute. Behrend's baseball inroads have usually been decided on the basis of her mound capability and the 1962 season season serves as a strong reminder. Whenever the Cubs played under John "the Body" Brown, they usually had little to worry about. But J. B. couldn't hurl doubleheaders and there was no Luis Arroyo to put out the occasional fires in the single games. The Cubs ended with a three and five mark in '62. But "three for you and three for me" is the cry for '63. That would make six wins out of the eleven games the team has scheduled. The Coach thinks it not too overwhelming to shoot for a winning season this spring. It would be a satisfying finale to what has thus far been a re warding sports year. BEHREND OPENS its season on April 27 when the Mother Campus sends its junior ambassadors to collect the taxes. Contrary to last year when the collectors returned home duties on a 19 to 1 ratio, the local serfs will at tempt to force a "tax cut" by protesting a bit more vigor ously. But if the Coach ever has to use all four of his "possible" pitchers this season, this should be the time. Horst Hesse, Bill Sample, Tom Apke and Willi Schickhaus constitute the mound corps. The first two are the probable starters. Five veterans of the '62 campaign hold down key roles in the Cub hitting attack. Behind the plate on opening day will be Howie Estock. Dick Sorenson appears set at first and Doug Prozan is camped at short stop. Mel Ross has the "hot corner" well in hand. The final veteran, Tom Larson, will roam in outfield, probably in left. Rookies are Bob Vicander, center; Tom Gallagher, right; Sam Heller, second base; and outfielders Jim Lushwitz, Craig Pihl, and Paul Jueschke. Should Horst Hesse and Willi Schickhaus work out well for Herr Gallagher, perhaps the `Nittany Nine' may become better known as the - `Behrend Blitzkrieg.' It probably wouldn't be for the best, though: the "other" team won that game. PITTSBURGH'S POINT PARK Junior College hosted the P.J.C.A.A. State Swimming Championships on March 29 and four Behrend splashers came home with coveted awards. Mike Simmons, Jerry Klemushin, Dick Anderson, and Dick Deutsch won the 200 yard medley relay and brought home a beautiful trophy for it. Then Deutsch finished first in the 100-yard butterfly, Anderson followed with the top placing in the 100-yard backstroke, and Klemushin won the 100- yard breaststroke. Behrend finished behind Point Park and Hershey Junior College in the team standings. THE BERYREUTER CHESS AWARD appears destined for another year at the Behrend Campus as a result of the last weekend's victories at Altoona Campus. Ed Paauwe, Ron Feltenberger, Doug Ray, and Doug Prozan neatly handled Altoona, Dußois, and McKeesport, to stretch their undefeated string to 26 contests over the past two years. The Chessmen are 16-0 this year. The Behrend bowlers and the table tennis players continued to have troubles. however, and it appears that only the chessmen will qualify for the Inter-Campus Championships at University Park, May 3-4. THE PRESIDENT of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame attacked recently the widespread comment that "a great sport will be permanently damaged . . . and that for many people the bloom must pass forever from college football," because of the alleged "fix" of a football game between the University of Alabama and the Univer sity of Alabama and the University of Georgia, "To hold up," said C. J. Laßoche, "if even by no more than suggestion, one alleged piece of perfidy as making the whole game suspect is a gross magnification. It is little less than char acter assassination of the thousands of players and coaches •associated with the game in honor and good sportsmanship." THE NITTANY CUB Sports Department radically declares the week beginning April 15, a Monday, as "Radical Comment Week." Beginning Monday any student on Campus anywhere, anytime may be asked by a Nittany Cub Staff member to make a radical comment about anything he darn well pleases! The underlying principle here is that every one is radical at heart but is often afraid to show it, that people detest conformity, and that given a real opportunity people will protest about this miserable, miserable world we live in. So sharpen your tontme! Get it all off your chest in One daFtardly comment! Here's your chance to really express yourself! The most radical comments will be printed on this page in the next issue of the Cub or, if necessary, the com ments will be posted in one of the men's rooms on Campus. The Cub will ask for radical comments from the following people in particular and anyone in general: Mrs. Falken hw - en Nurse Lilliman ! Carol Hubiak! Ben Winslow! Stephanie Whipple!

When Mr. Behrend died. his widow, Mrs. Mary E. Behrend, decided that the estate, located on Station Road in Wesleyville. would make a beauti ful non-sectarian college campus and a fitting memorial for her husband. In July of 1948. the es tate was officially signed over to the Pennsylvania State Universi ty. The house looks much the same as it did when the Behrends lived there. The present reception room and adjoining lobby was once a patio. This was enclosed to make an office for the secretarial staff.. The upstairs of the house was un changed and is presently being used as a girls' dormitory. The barn was converted into classroom facilities. Previously, it was used as a stable and garage. It was named Turnbull Hall after the late Thomas Turnbull, who taught at the campus in its earlier years. The library was used by the Behrends as a guest house. When the campus was first organized, the building was used as a stu dent lounge. A note of interest is that the library will become a student lounge again when the present revisions are completed. Erie Hall was constructed in 1954 in the same architectural style as the other buildings on the campus. It furnishes a gymnasium, bowling alleys, ping-gong tables, and other general facilities for student recreation. The Otto F. Behrend Building is being used this year for the first time. It is composed of of fice and administrative space, classrooms, and laboratories not only for the sciences, but for the Ilanguages also. This building sym bolizes a change of architectural design on the campus and is a !mark of the progress and develop ment being made at Behrend. Glenwood Glenwood Glenwood Erie Erie_.

Closed To zool or not to zool, that was the question. `Twas a nice course if you could get it, but to get it one had to try. Recent consternation during pre-registration resulted from the closing of Zoology 26 to all stu dents except those in the col leges of Education and Agri:mi -1 ture, and a few fortunate sopho mores According to Dr. Elizabeth Smith, associate professof of Zo ology, registration for Zoology was limited to 44 students, due to limited facilities and schedule conflicts.
