PAGE FOUR Rumrunners Take BEAT ELECTRONS 67-49. 20-16 The RUMRUNNERS knocked the ELECTRONS from the unbeaten ranks 67-49, in the first of two playoff games, and then went on to win the second game, 20-16, for the first semester Hazleton Campus intramural title. Displaying spirit and teamwork, the RUMRUNNERS, were hard to overcome in both games. Tarone and Schiedy were the big guns for the RUMRUNNERS, chipping in with 30 and 16 points respectively. Mills also hit double figures for the RUMRUNNERS with 11 poipts. The ELECTRONS had set back the RUMRUNNERS earlier in the season by the score of 42-32. The RUMRUN NERS didn’t forget that and avenged their earlier defeat bv grabbing the title. Jim Sterba hit the nets for 28 counters in a losing cause. Jim Led the ELECTRONS in scoring most of the season and the title game was no exception. Antolick chipped in with 13 points to back up Sterba, but it just wasn’t enough to stop the RUMRUNNERS. In the final playoff game, the RUMRUNNERS sewed up the title with a 20-16 victory. They will represent the Hazleton Campus at Latroe, Penna., in the Keystone League.

Penn State Blanks Alabama, 7-0 In First Annual A fake field goal, turned into a touchdown pass play, proved to be the clincher in the first annual Liberty Bowl. The contention that time waits for no one was given a chance to be illustrated due to the fact that Richie Lucas sustained a hip injury in the first half of play and was unable to continue in his capacity as quarterback of the number twelve team in the nation. Sophomore Galen Hall replaced the all but indispensable all-Amer ican and played a key role in Penn State’s victory. Hall also came through once before when Lucas was injured, leading State to its 28-10 triumph at West Virginia. Before Lucas departed for the final time in Blue and White, he showed the smaller-than-expected, windswept yet sun-baked audience why he gained recognition from coast to coast. He was the game s leading ground gainer despite the fact that he only played half of the game. Actually, State beat the Tide at its own game. The Nittany for ward wall, both first and second string, was iron tough as it lim ited ’Bama to a flimsy one hundred and four yards rushing. State also outdueled its southern visitor in first downs, IS-8. The touchdown play was tagged a “secret weapon” by State coach Rip Engle after the game. The Hall to Koehman scoring aerial was only the second touchdown THE AMERICAN PROVERB: COLLECTOR’S ITEM How often we hear proverbial, fixed expressions like these: “Ab sence makes the heart grow fonder;” “Make hay while the sun shines;” “Love is blind;” “It’s never too late to learn.” These apt, short, pithy sayings, with a touch of fancy in the phrasing, are frequently handed down from generation to genera tion. As they usually present well-known truths, they serve to express wise counsel or warning when nothing else will. There are proverbs for the weather, for various occupations, for philoso phizing on the human frailties, and for almost all the crises imaginable. A number of sayings are national in popularity. Yet, rural or secluded districts are especially rich in proverbial lore which is often quaintly peculiar to the particular locality. Then, too, the various foreign strains blending to furnish our American citizenry offer sources for many proverbs. Any number have been translated and adapted from foreign lan guages into idiomatic “proverb- English,” couched in a kind of homely and vividly concrete phrasing. In addition, the Bible has given us many proverbs. In Liberty Bowl pass against Alabama this season. Not only Penn State’s first team, but also the depth that prevailed throughout the rest of the squad, proved to be a major factor for their exceptional seasonal record of 8 wins and 2 losses. The high calibre of play and sportsmanship exemplifies Penn State’s potential ities in coming years The coaching staff deserves credit for their fine performance in moulding the Nit tany Lions attack. New names add excitement to Penn State football schedules of the future Maryland, missing- since 1944, is the lone newcomer in 1960. For three years thereafter, however, there will be at least two new op ponents each season. The Nittany Lions, who move into their new 43,500-capaeity stadium next fall, open the season against Boston University, Sept. 17. That will be the first game on the new field. Other home games in 1960 will pit the Lions against Missouri, West Virginia, and Maryland, while road tests will find the Blue and White facing Army, Syracuse, Illinois, Holy Cross, and Pitt. Numbered among the new op ponents of the future are Navy, Miami (Fla.), Air Force Academy, Rice, Oregon, UCLA, and Ohio State. All except Miami and Ohio State will appear on Beaver Field. nearly every ease, the “parents” of a proverb are “the people,” for it is the sanction of the many that makes a proverb. The American Dialect Society, a group of American scholars, is working on a Dictionary of American Proverbs. There are 48 chairmen, one for each state, to collect fixed expressions from their respective areas. (Professor Kafka is the chairman for the state of Pennsylvania.) Both oral and written sources are being collected; some can be traced to individuals, others to anonymous generations long 1 past. Proverbial lore is being col lected from almanacs, schools, popular tales and anecdotes, re gional literature, periodicals, state historical societies, and from authentic folk lore. The Society has penetrated into so-called “backward” mountain country, or into remote districts where old country families have settled. Sayings from one region are being compared with others to see how widely used certain of the aphorisms are. This is how the proverbs and fixed expressions are being classified: 1. Folk proverbs appearing in complete sentences.

However, if the state and national population trends are reflected in our area and if the University is to meet this challenge of our growing college population, the Hazleton Campus will be faced with the same problems as those faced by the University Campus. Realistically, the University is most anxious to develop present physical plant to most efficient use and secondly to prepare for whatever expansion will be necessary. In meeting this challenge, however, let us never lose sight of the fact that the physical plant is not the only aspect of the educational process. A Physical Education program, a fine Library collection, a college life through ample student activ ities, and, above all, a strong' academic staff are all goals we should strive for. With an experience of 25 years of service and growth by the Hazleton Campus and the interest and co-operation of faculty, our stu dent body, and especially the people of the Hazleton area, the University can and will meet whatever challenge the future may bring.

Sententious say ings or proverbs of the learned in complete sentences. (“Brevity is the soul of wit;” “Discretion is the better part of valor.”) 3. Proverbial rhymes.

(“Whiter than snow;” “Stubborn like a mule.”) 7. So called Wellerisms comparisons like those made up by Sam Weller in Dickens’ Pickwick Papers—in volving a quotation, often a well-known one, with a facetious sequel added. (“ ‘There’s no ac counting- for tastes, as the man said, when he saw his wife kiss the cat;” “‘What next?’ as the toad said when his tail dropped off.”) 8. Modern facetious prov erbs and rhymes. (“A ring on the finger is worth two on the phone;” “Don’t telephone or telegraph, merely tell it to a woman.”) Thus, whether you call it a proverb, aphorism, adage, saying, axiom, saw, by-word, dictum, motto or epigrammatic fixed ex pression, Professor Kafka would enjoy hearing of any local variety.

They look back to their friend ships and experiences gained here during their early formative col lege years, be it, in the terminal Associate Degree curriculum or the Baccalaureate Degree pro gram. They continue to be interested in Hig'hacres. For ex ample, Leonard Tyahla (D.D.T. ’5B) who is working in Albuquer que, New Mexico, writes the following: “I was pleased to receive your correspondence re garding the Alumni Association, and I would like to continue to remain in contact with the Hazleton Campus.” James L. Lettiere now with the U.S. Army writes this from Augusta, Ga.: “I received the first of your News letters, and i was most delighted to hear from you ... If I can be of any help to the Alumni Association, please let me know.” In a series of Alumni Associa tion meetings, future plans were discussed. One suggested service to alumni would be the supplying of a list of available activities at Highacres to which they are cordially invited to attend, such as the Great Literature course, the College Arts films, the May Day program, Convocation, and the annual spring reunion banquet of the Alumni Association. If any student here at High acres now knows of alumni, please convey this information concern ing the Association. We would like to know the following: name, year of attendance, address, place of employment, job title, and any other appropriate data. The Moralist (Continued from Page Two) phone call until she finally per suaded him to tell her the truth about it. Sam told her that Henry, their mutual friend, had been seeing another woman behind his wife’s back. Gloria suggested that Sam should make it his business to inform Lucille of what was happening'. Sam, in turn, stated that he could not do this, because he had been making excuses for Henry when his wife called to find out why Henry was not home from work, and if Sam should, at this time, tell Lucille the truth, it would end a very long friendship between the two families. Gloria sipped her coffee thought fully. “Who’s the woman?” she finally asked. “I don’t know. He wouldn’t tell me that. But she must be wealthy or something. I mean, she doesn’t seem to have a job. She meets him in the afternoon, and she never seems to have any trouble getting away.” “How often do they meet?” Gloria asked. “Twice a week. Sometimes three times.” “When are you providing' an alibi again?” Gloria asked. “This afternoon,” answered Sam. “Well, I don’t believe you are doing- the proper thing, but I will not interfere. I must prepare to go down to the publisher’s office and check on my last publication.” Sam watched Gloria pull out of the drive-way and round the corner at the end of the block. Gloria gunned the car down the highway. No plot for the story yet, she thought, but that was of no importance to her as she pulled up to the curb and let Henry into the car.

Gould, president of the Hazleton Kiwanis Club, addressed the initial meeting' of the Kiwanis Circle K Club, composed of Hig'hacres students who were former Key Club members in their high schools and are now interested in continuing their community service work as uni versity students. Charter members of the Circle K Club are Thomas Battle, Levi Kishbaugh, Dennis Miller, Dave Senuto, John Williams, James Flesher, and Phil Hampel. Also organized was the Photo- Flash Club made up of students interested in various phases of photography from taking- pic tures to developing the results. The initial project of this group will be to take pictures of the Hazleton Campus which will be shown in “La Vie,” the senior yearbook on the University Park Campus. The group also takes pictures for the Highacres Collegian. Members of the photography club are Francis Feissner, Francis Sullivan, Matt Ogorzalek, and Stephen Goldian. Associate Degree (Continued from Page One) ities at Highacres just don’t have any interest. Their work isn’t so difficult that it is impossible for them to find time.” Bob Lawrence (2-ET): “I am not in any activities at Highacres. The work I have in ET may be easier than that of some 4-year 1 go to the dances but that’s about students, but there is more of it. all. If there were more interesting activities, 1 would try harder to find time to join some. Also, if there were a gym, there would be more interest in the various sports.” Joan Deßalso (4-Med T): “I am secretary of the Sorority and attend the dances, but I join no other activities mainly because there are none which appeal to me. If there were, I would definitely join some.” Freddy Bernoski: “I am not in any Highacres’ activities. Studies come hard to me and I work after school which takes much time. I feel I should contribute something to the support of the activities. Maybe if someone would try harder to get me into, these, 1 might consider joining.” What are your views on this subject? Do you feel Associate Degree students should contribute more to Highacres’ activities ? Let’s try to get these students into some school functions and let’s see how it works. After all, activities need the support of all students to be successful.
