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

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.
