IT TAKES
FOREVER
As almost everyone on campus knows, the most singly important
issue that rages on a campus is intervisitation. And because of this
you may have noticed a seemingly alarming lack of concern on the
part of the Cub, which is supposedly the student’s voice. This is not
the case.
Because of my concern for this issue, I have eliminated all
articles of controversial nature concerning visitation. I say,’
“because of my concern," because I truly am concerned. It is my
belief however, that further prodding and intimidation on the part
of the students, can only hurt our cause. We have done what we can
and now we must wait. Until a decision is made, I have declared a
moratorium (with the agreement of people who have written let
ters and articles) on the entire issue.
After a decision is made, however, the letters and articles, along
with any other resultant response, will definitely be published.
This being my first paper as editor, I would like to thank all those
people who have assisted me-students, faculty, and administration.
I would also like to thank students for their fine support in joining
the staff and making the job that much easier for all of us. And
anyone else who may be interested, please don’t hesitate to stop by
the Cub office.
One Man’s Opinion
Of Registration
I’d like to tip the oF dink to the administration for the way they
handled registration and not because I want something (this time)
but because they deserve it. There was a bit 0f...we11, a lot of
confusion as to when registration was to be held and when classes
were to begin but then the administration isn’t perfect.
Maybe I’m wrong, which wouldn’t be unusual, but I thought
registration went off without much trouble. Maybe that’s because I
didn’t have to make any schedule changes or because after fall
registration I could never experience anything more confusing; I
think I should add that the fall registration was the first time I ever
registered for classes at Behrend. To this day, I breakout in a cold
sweat just thinking about that first registration. I wouldn’t wish
such an experience on anyone, not even the Burser. The only logical
explanation for the fall registration being the way it was, would be
that it was just another facet of Custom’s Week.
The basic differences between fall registration and winter
registration were: first, there was an absence of sophomores at
winter registration and who quite effectively made their presence
known at the fall registration. Second, there was an air of con
fidence in Erie Hall this time which made everyone feel like they
knew what they were doing. Add to this the fact the kids who were
leaving Erie Hall this time were leaving under their own power
which gave the people entering even more confidence. During fall
registration, most of the kids who finished (or gave up) registering
were either left lying where they fell or were carried out of the
building by sophomores who did it out of the goodness of their
hearts for a nominal fee. Third, and most important, inside Erie
Hall itself there were relatively kids in the hall during fall
registration making the tables easy to get at. At fall registration
there were kids there who came at 8 o’clock (some were crying,
some were lying on the floor, and still others were stumbling
around in a daze) when I got there at 12:30 and I didn’t leavenntil
about 3 o’clock I still don’t have the faintest idea how I got
registered; all I remember is that two sophomores dragged me out
of Erie Hall because I was beating my head against the wall and
they were afraid I might put a hole in it. In fact, they were so happy
to get me out of the building they didn’t even charge me for their
kindness.
At this registration the administration had all the angles
covered; they didn’t let the sophomores near Erie Hall during
registration; they had a number of faculty members walking
around the hall helping students who were having trouble so as to
avoid their panicing; and last but not least, they had all the walks
padded.

THE NITTANY CUB
Club Corner
The Ski Club held a meeting on
January 14. The principle item of
discussion was the weekend ski
trip to Kissing Bridge on
February 19-21. It will cost $26.40,
which includes transportation,
dinner Saturday night, dorm
accomodations, and lift passes
for the weekend. A $5.00 deposit
must be paid, either at the Union
desk, or to any of the Ski Club
officers no later than January 22.
Anyone interested should sign-up
at the Union desk as soon as
possible.
At its January 13th meeting the
Business Club discussed its
proposed trip to either the New
York Stock Exchange in New
York City, or to the Federal
Reserve Bank in Buffalo during
Spring Break.
At the meeting on the 20th, Mr.
Mercorella, an Erie
businessman, spoke to the club on
various phases of management
and marketing.
Dropping
Classes?
Students who have not been
attending courses for whidTthey
registered are reminded that an
official Drop Form must be
processed for all courses which a
student is dropping. Mere
cessation of attendance is not
sufficient to drop a course. If a
course has not been dropped
officially within the alloted time,
the student must necessarily be
given a failing grade for that
course. If a student has any
doubts about a particular course,
he should check with Mr. Goetz in
the Main Building before this
Wednesday.

Ken Mushrush is still in his
usual daze. Five terms in a row is
almost a record.
The freshmen still haven’t had
their pictures taken for their ID
cards. It might be nice if we did.
Over the Christmas vacation, I
found out there is no Santa

me.
Congratulations to Howard and

“Not to decide is to decide.”
If anyone has anything that
needs to be commented on, put it
in the Cub office in care of Bill’s
Toes.
The cafeteria has to have
something good for supper
tonight, the garbage man came
this morning. They’re serving
leftovers from the leftovers from
three nights ago.
Commuters, do you like
walking from the far end of the
Nick parking lot to catch a class
in Behrend or Turnbull? Do you
like the Dorm drivers special
parking privileges? No? Either
hope for warmer weather and
less snow, or question, the new
parking regulations.
The Cwens will sponsor what
appears to be a much needed
question and answer period on
the pass-fail option January 21-
22. Mr. Goetz and Mr. Hohwald
will explain what courses a
student can take within his
college and how it will affect him.
Anyone with questions is urged to
attend.
They are also planning a
weekend trip to their sister
organization at Allegheny
College,' possibly the last
weekend of this month. Plans
however are not definite as of yet.
For those who d'dn’t hear about
it during the rush of registration,
the Circle K held its first
scheduled book sale in the
Seminar Room last January 6,7,
and 8. It operated by students
bringing in any books that they
wanted to sell. The books were
registered, and placed on tables
with the seller’s price on it.
Students were free to come in and
compare books and prices, and
make their own selections. If a
book was sold, a 20 cent fee was
subtracted from the price. Un
sold books were returned to the
owners without cost. Bill Starn,
dub president, said that the sale
will be a regular event before
future registrations, and asked
that all students participate. It
definitely beats the hassle of
bulletin board scanning for used
books.
Also planned in the dub agenda
is an open meeting scheduled for
the first of February in the Reed
Lecture Hall. A movie on Circle K
history will be shown. In addition,
there will be a professional

Council is sponsoring a wall

Auditions for “Spoon River
Anthology” to be presented by
the Behrend Readers during
Winter term are open to all
Behrend students and faculty
members. They will be held on
Tuesday and Wednesday,
January 26 and 27 from 7:30 until
9 p.m. in the Studio. The cast for
this adaption of Edgar Lee
Masters collection of verse
epitaphs requires actors, act
tresses, and two folk guitarists
and singers.
“Spoon River Anthology” is a
portrayal of the hypocrisy,
pettiness, pleasure 'and Joy of
small town life. The characters
are closely patterned after the
people that Masters knew as a
young man. By allowing them to
speak after death, Masters
achieved a portrait of mid
western life remarkable in its
honesty. Folk music of the period
and area establishes the mood in
this adaptation.
Persons who want to audition
should prepare a short
monologue, preferably from
“Spoon River.” Guitarists and
singers should present two folk
numbers: one ballad and one up
tempo.
Further information can be
secured from Mrs. Flaherty, 102
Turnbull Hall.
