Page Two Registration Procedure Changed January 3, 1963 was the regis tration date for the Winter term for students of the Pennsylvania State University. Previously, reg istration at Highacres has been held in South Hall where the vari ous instructors sat behind desks placed in a line against one wall and carried out their respective duties. However, this term registration was held in the Main Building where each instructor occupied one of the classrooms. This sepa ration of each step required for registration made possible less confusion. Mr. William Schneider, Assist ant Director of the Hazleton Cam pus, stated that more students were able to register in less time Keep Highacres Clean! As the Collegian staff welcomes both old and new students to TTighacres for the Winter Term, we would like to call your attention To the conduct expected of all Penn State students. The condition of the cafeteria is but one example of the failure of some students to conduct themselves as grown-ups should. SGA is making an effort to remind those forgetful people to return their dishes to the cafeteria window. It should be noted that several peaple have made comment to the effect that the cafeteria never looked so bad in previous years. This seems to be an insult to the Freshman Another sore spot has been the rubble found strewn around the campus after a dance. It is a rule of Penn State that no alcoholic beverages shall be allowed on campus. Any violators shall face serious charges, In conclusion, may we add that we are proud of our campus and any act of disrespect brings shame to the innocent and guilty alike. If you are one of the guilty, please try to change your habits. If you are one of the innocent, help SGA by reminding the forgetful and careless people to KEEP HTGHACRES CLEAN!

There were one or two places throughout the line where “bottle necks” formed. However, Mr. Schneider said that if the students would look carefully over their 1.8. M. cards before returning them to their advisors during pre registration, some of these “bot tlenecks” could be avoided. Also, those students requiring curriculum changes should attend to them prior to registration in view of the fact that the adminis tration offices are open between terms. This, too, would aid in de creasing the length of time neces sary for registration. This new system will be used again for registration for the Spring term.

January 28, 1963 STUDENT POLL: Is “Speech” Needed For Graduation? QUESTION: "What is your opinion concerning Speech 200 being required for graduation? Mike Nemshick (7th term Coun.) “It should be required in every one’s education because at the end of the ten week course in Speech 200 each student feels 10 feet tall in every possible social situation.” Donna Foster (2nd term Chem. + Phy.) “All college students should be required to take a speech course since people in all walks of life must be able to communicate their thoughts and ideas to others.” Phil Jeffries (2nd term L. A.) “It should be required for the simple reason that it helps you to communicate better with your fel low man under many and varied conditions.” Georgia Lynn Hess (2nd term El. Ed.) “Everyone should take speech because it helps you to express yourself better before people.” Joseph M. Konar (2nd term Sec. Ed.) “It should rightfully be required for graduation in order that the student be able to communicate better with people when he even tually gets out into the world.” Professor Andrew Kafka, Speech Instructor “As Faculty Advisor to the Ha zleton Campus Alumni Society, one of the comments that I hear most frequently, from former stu dents of the two year as well as the four year curricula, concern ing the most valuable general courses taught is that Speech 200, along with composition courses, has been of unusual value in get ting ahead at their jobs. Regard less of how well equipped they are with the technical and/or profes sional subject matter, the ability to communicate in a variety of so cial and career situations is sig nificant while on the job. Some of these same students confessed that while they were studying Speech 200 it seemed quite a chal lenge and they wondered if the time and effort required by the course were worth it. Later, how- ever, an experience in having studied this subject proved enor mously valuable in their jobs.”
