State-Wide Junior College Student Government Conference At Highacres
Junior College Delegates
Hear Challenge From
Attorney L. G. Feldman
A challenge to the youth of
America to assume responsible
roles of leadership was issued by
Attorney Louis G. Feldmann on
the evening of November 4, 1960,
as he addressed some seventy-five
state-wide delegates from sixteen
junior colleges at the Highacres
Campus of the Pennsylvania State
University.
Speaking during a dinner meet
ing of the two-day Pennsylvania
Junior College Convention, Mr.
Feldmann declared that there are
unlimited opportunities and a cry
ing need for youth to take over
the reins in science, government,
and other fields. Mr. Feldmann
warned that leaders must have
the courage to face persecution,
frustration, and insults. “You
must have the courage to be
unpopular,” he said.
Mr. Thomas J. Kidd, Highacres
Union Building manager, deliv
ered the keynote address. He
described the history of the
conference and stressed the im
portance of forming 1 a permanent
organization, since past meetings
were not closely knit.
Terry Lindenmuth, president of
the Student Council, greeted the

delegates, which included students
and faculty advisors.
Mr. William E. Schneider made
several comments in welcoming
the delegates and made it clear
that Highaeres was at their
service during their two-day stay
here.
Workshops were held on Friday
evening, November 4 and on
Saturday morning, November 5 to
try to work out the problems of
a permanent organization and to
set up a working organization.
The first day’s program was
climaxed by an informal dance
and “mixer.”
The discussion groups included
the following:
Constitution Formulation and
organization of a Congress of
Pennsylvania Junior Colleges and
writing of a constitution for the
Congress; Levi Kishbaugh,
chairman ; Donata Matteo,
co-chairman.
Publications and Services —•
Planning the nature of Congress
publications and deciding what
services the office of the Congress
shall provide its membership;
Robert Zelnick, chairman; Paul
Miller, co-chairman.
Finances Establishment of
financial policies for the Congress,
fiscal year, dues structure,
budgets, and other revenues; John
Mikulak, chairman; James
Cataldo, co-chairman. j
Annual Conferences Planning
the nature, scope and programs
for future conferences; William
Collegian |
Morgan, chairman; Howard
Keiper, co-chairman.
Delegates in general seemed
quite impressed with the outcome
of the conference. An executive
board was elected. The members
certainly seem quite responsible
ones.
Executive Board Thomas J.
Kidd (Hazleton), Executive Sec
retary; Charles Hostetler (Her
shey), President; Robin Blakeslee
(Dubois), President-elect; Wil
liam Morgan (Hazleton), Vice
president; Bernadine Vota (Mt.
Aloysius), Secretary-treasurer.
Credit is forthcoming to Mr.
Kidd for his excellent handling of
the whole affair and his
demonstrated leadership during
the course of the final plenary
session. This prompted visiting
delegates to nominate him by
acclamation to handle the affairs
of the Congress for the remainder
of the academic year when a
successor would be chosen. The
Collegian takes this opportunity
to give credit where it is due.
Workshop leaders reported that
most of the visiting delegates
were most cooperative, and this
accounted for a successful
conference.
A meeting of the executive
board is scheduled for later in
November and is expected to
stimulate the progress made by
this conference in developing
better and more cooperation
among the Junior Colleges
throughout Pennsylvania.

popular dances on Friday evening,

to be the most successful to date.
From 9 to 11:30 p. m., the
students and delegates to the
Conference danced to the delight
ful music of the Four Sharps.
Attire was casual, and
refreshments were served.
Everyone is wondering who put
up the center ornament. Do you
know ?
