Spring Weekend
Hail bounteous May that dost
inspire
Mirth and youth and warm desire,
Woods and Groves are of thy
dressing
Hill and Dale dost boast thy
blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early
Song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee
long."
These lines by John Milton well
express the budding natural beau
ty of the Behrend Campus during
this season. and the sentiment of
the Student Government Associ
ation as it plans many activities
for the remainder of the Spring
Term. Deserving most immediate
attention is the Spring Weekend
to be held May 8 and 9. Circle K
will initiate festivities on Friday
evening with its traditional "Ness
Night." Saturday will see the cam
pus in a flurry of activity with
many SGA-organized events. A
co-ed softball game will begin at
2 o'clock, and team captains Paula
Harris and Lynn Kostalnick are
predicting victory. Any student
wishing to play should see either
Five Students Inducted
April 14. 1964 the Behrend Campus Chapter of the Keystone
Society inducted the following students into the Society:
The purpose of Ihe Keystone Society is to encourage academic
pursuit and extra-curricular activities and to provide recognition for
the "all around" students of the Behrend Campus. In the opinion
of the Keystone membership. the students initiated on the fourteenth
had more than met the high standards of the Keystone Society and
are, without a doubt. "all around" students of the Behrend Campus.
The Behrend Chapter of the Keystone Society is preparing
for the Keystone Society State Conference to be held at University
Park on May 15 and 16. At this time we will be considering expanding
our scope of membership to cover all colleges and universities in
Pennsylvania, not just the Pennsylvania State Commonwealth Cam
puses and our usual state business.
The Keystone Society is sponsoring three musical programs this
term; the first program is scheduled for May 9, 1964 with Mr. Kochel,
the Director of the Behrend Campus, conducting a program on Dixie
land Jazz. Mr. Kochel once had his own radio show on Dixieland Jazz
and is quite an authority on the subject. The other two programs
will be announced at a later date.
The: Keystone Society is planning to promote the Honors and
Awards Banquet scheduled for June 6, 1964. At this banquet all ath
letic, academic, and honorary awards will be presented to the deserv

everyone.
More details on these activities
are forthcoming, so watch the
bulletin boards and posters. and
be sure to reserve the dates of
May 8 and 9 and May 23 for "fun

Editor
As many of you already know.
John Thompson, a former Behr-
end student now at the main cam
pus. was appointed editor of the
Daily Collegian. We, of the Cub
staff felt the following exerpts
from a letter written to Dean
Lane would be of interest to the
student body:
It is a great honor, and yet an
overwhelming responsibility
I welcome it, with the assistance
of my staff, as a chance to better
Penn State. both the University
Park campus and the Common
wealth campuses which mean so
much to me. . .I am proud of my
two years of education and par
ticipation in activities at the
Sehrend Campus. I do not con
sider it a disadvantage for my
present post to have spent two
years at another campus, since
my opportunities to be a student
leader there gave me an insight
into student problems which I
hope will aid me as editor. I would
not have been able to participate
in student government, drama, or
he seeming score of activities I
