By this time each of you has heard plenty about the terrible Customs Week. Fear grips all of you as Monday is only two, yes two short days away. It is the time when the "big shot Sopho mores" begin their attack on the freshmen. Through almost every freshman's mind runs thoughts of being hung from the Behrend Pine - nailed to crosses - and burned at the stake. Undertones are heard to the effect that the Soph omores are all sadists, and that they are out to kill kill - kill every freshman. This is not the main obective of the upperclassmen during Customs Week. It is planned to help you become adjusted to college life and the spirit that is a neces sary part of it Cu; - c,oms Week is tradition, and tradition is social law The entire week should be taken with the attitude of having fun even if you are on the "naßty" end of the stick. We guarantee that no one will be physically harmed - you may, of course, soend the next two three years in a mental institution, but men . illness is curable ....in time. Seriously, you will find Customs Week a re warding memory and some of those lousy rotton not "stuff" Sophomore will become your best friends. Good Luck and Hipp: Hiding, Lousy Freshmen! Generally in the past, high school news papers and even our Tittany Cub have refused to take sides on current issues both on and off Campus. This year one of the major policies of the Cub will be to give strong opinions on these touchy situations, which have been reported "down the middle of the road." We encourage let ters to the editor, and hopefully, in some cases, Ron Fontecchio wall expect to hear the other party voice his pinions The newspaper is the voice of the stu dent body. If you do nct agree with wnat you have read, yo= corn eatswill be expected and p r_ntPCl Our purpose is not to ca'lse trouble and divisions among the body of the Behrend Campus; it is to be an open system of transferring stu dent opinions and ideas in addition to reporting news. In a couple of weeks everyone will be back in the groove end trying to find remedies for first term tension. The Behrend Campus offers two remedies for this tension. The first is a common, age-old remedy known as the pill--as pirin! The second and by far the most popular remedy is a weekend orgy, filled with fun and frolic which is referred to as Homecoming Weekend. On October 13, 14 and 15, the Behrend Campus will take on the apperarace of a car nival with each chartered club sponcering games and booths. The booths will open at noon on Friday and will be in operation throughout the weekend. Friday tight there will be a con cert by a popular local jazz group. As for ath letics, there will be a soccer game Saturday be tween Behrend and Buffalo State which will be, without a doubt a great game. Saturday night will be highlighted by the Homecoming Dance and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. Sunday promises more entertainment in the jazz field pr. T A LAL TENSION RELM'TT-I,S with performances by jazz pianist Mary Alice Brown and the Brandenberg Jazz Ensemble. More information about these fine Jazz Muscians will appear in future issues of this paper. Watch for this!! A highly publicized way of easing one's burdens is by taking a "trip." The Nitany Cub suggests that you take this trip to Penn State on All University Day which is sche duled for November 11. On this day all stu dents of the Commonwealth Campuses will have the opportunity to attend the Penn State vs North Carolina football game. Also on the agenda for the day is a buffet dinner, a jammy and accncert by the fabulous Four Tops Because of the crowded condition at the main campus, overnight accomodations in the dorms will not be provided this year. A Possibility, however, that the S.G.A. will be able to secure hotel accomodations exists if enough students want it. For more infor mation see Bill Benko - S.G.A. vice presi dent. Approximate cost for the weekend is $lO.OO excluding overnight lodging and $l5 including accomodations. AS I make some future Reflections, rumor has it that there will be a Happening on the Behrend Campus, when a really SUPREME group gives a Spring Concert here. It is too bad that you Can't Hurry Love ....or Spring. NITT.ANY CUB STAFF' Rich Clemens Al Dorchester...;Astistant?Sports Eileen Ecwden Peporter Arne Tomzack Artist - Photographer Karen.
