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! Jim Golembeski ! Alice Bachman!
Dr. Knadler!

A Brief History of
The Behrend Campus
By Mary Jean Ferguson
Behrend Campus was originally
the summer estate of the late
Ernst Behrend, one of the found
ers of the Hammermill Paper
Company in Erie. 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.

The Limeliters, popular folk
singing trio, staged a concert at
Penn State last Wednesday, which
will be shown soon on the new
television series, "Hootenanny."
Two thousand free tickets were
given out for the concert, which
was presented by several other
folk-singing groups in addition to
the Limeliters.
"HOOTENANNY" is a new tele
vision series which premiered last
Saturday night at 8:30 on the

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

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.
Another result of the Spring
Term registration was the enroll

EUROPEAN
EDUCATORS
VIEW CAMPUS
Fifteen British teachers who
recently visited the Behrend cam
pus w:11 soon be followed by
similar groups from several other
European countries.
The teachers are coming from
England, Ireland. Scotland, Wales,
West Germany and the Nether
lands. Both the Dutch and Ger
man teachers speak English flu
ently.
While visiting in the Erie area,
the teachers will be staying with
Erie families.
One purpose of their visit is to
give them the opportunity to ob
serve our schools, and to talk
with teachers, administrators and
students. The other purpose is to
have the experience of living in
an American family situation for
a brlef time and to visit super
markets, department stores and
churches.
