October 20, 1964 To Dance or Not to Dance By Tom Krahe On Wednesday, October 14th, the recreational center at Erie Hall received a new juke box. The juke box is sponsored by the S. G. A. It will be available for use by students during all the hours Erie Hall is open. The S. G. A. has obtained a 60- 40 split with the company which supplies the box. Naturally 60% of the profits goes to the supply ing company, but 40% is quite a good profit since there is no in vestment. This being the case, patronage will not only be a source of enjoyment for all of us, but also a good money-making promotion. While intervieewing Toni Bun dy, President of the S. G. A., about the arrival of the juke box, I asked him what the possibilities were of holding weekly or bi weekly dances in Erie Hall. His reply was "not a chance". Upon questioning him further, I found this had been attempted last year and was, in so many words, a FLOP! He said the attendance at the majority of the dances was about fifty. I argued that there was a new crop of students here this year and that we should be given a chance to show that we will support school activities. SOOOO . . . I guess it's up to you, new students, to let him know. If there are enough students in favor of holding these dances, they will be held, but the only way to let the S. G. A. know is to show them you're interested. So—get in touch with Tom Bundy or any of the other mem bers of the S. G. A. Dr. A. MANNING VISITS BEHREND On October 8 Dr. A.B. Manning, Associate Professor of Physics, visited Gordon L. Baker and Nathan Foote at the Behrend Campus. Dr. Manning periodical ly visits all the Penn State Cam puses to check the progress, books, and equipment of physics classes and to co-ordinate the curriculum of the campus physics to that of the University. THE NITTANY CUB EDITOR _ Carol Baier CO-EDITOR Ed Concilla FEATURE EDITOR Miriam Wright SPORTS EDITOR John Beavers PHOTOGRAPHER Roger Johnson FROSH CLASS ENDURES CUSTOMS Projector to Aid Instruction Our school has recently ordered an overhead projector called The Transpaque Tuto-Level. This new visual aid should greatly improve classroom instruction. With this new machine, the instructor will be able to sit in the front of the room and project an image on the wall behind him. No longer will the teacher have to remain in the rear of the class- The Transpaque Auto-Level is capable of magnifying an image clearly without any glare. The in structor may write under the projector and have his writing produced on the wall while he writes. This new visual aid cost our school $455.00. It goes without saying—"A picture is worth a thousand words." THE NIT TANY CUB reshmen harmonize to please Soph How many cannon balls are there on the ship model "Niagara" located in Erie Hall? Do you know? If you're a freshman at the Behrend Campus of the Penn sylvania State 'University you probably do. Or maybe you were one of the more unfortunate members of the class of "68" who failed to pass the Sophomore In telligence Test. In that case "fun and games" did begin for you. The first item. on the agenda was a guided tour of the inside of the swimming pool. Many of the Behrend dorm girls did succumb to a dip in the pool; Sheila Rein hold, Jane Scrudders and Sue Tomer to name just a few. "Don't walk on the grass" and "don't go out the front door of the Otto Behrend Building" are warnings Michele Bloxham and Pat Del- Porto took to heart after their experiences with hip wadders and four feet long name cards. There's nothing like a pair of size thirteen track shoes to make a girl feel more feminine, as Linda Hender son will tell you. Every freshman had a chance to display his musical talents un der the direction of Bill Frazier when the Sophomore class re quested a round of Penn State songs. For Chuck McCoy's punish ment, the Sophs required that he carry two filled water glasses up- \ : •Vie 's\ \, • 'll\.; side down on a tray. But Chuck got the last laugh by magically producing a goldfish in each glass. Carrying around a bowling ball might not have improved Ron Tomlin's average but it did help him develop his biceps. Lynn Brown's failure to appear at court was appreciated by the class of "67" to such a degree that she was given the honor of wearing full fishing gear to class. The Old West just hasn't been the same since Marty Jean Bush hung up her guns and came east to school with her cowboy boots, ten gallon hat and skiffs? For good ness sakes, Marty Jean, what did you do? Whatever we did to deserve our "just punishment" there wasn't a freshman on campus that didn't breath a sigh of relief when he learned customs were over. But don't fret, frosh, next year, we'll get our revenge! WANTED Do you have an object d'art you would like to trade or sell? If so, advertise it in the Trash and Treasure column of the "Cub".
