Page Two There is an old folk song wilth the following words included in it: “I know where I’m going.. How many of us at this stage of our college career, that is, freshman or sophomore, can state such a fact? The actual truth would be only a few. Far too many first and second year students are not sure what field they will engage in, nor, as well, what they will major in. Now, in mlaaiy cases this is quite understandable, for some may be trying to discover what ther are truly interested in and can perform well in. However, what about those who are just pro crastinating? They are placing no amount of concern on a de cision that means the utmost in one’s path to a degree. It is no good! to just tlake a helter-skelter arrangement of courses and then at the last minute make a decision on curriculum and major without having weighed and reweighed the merits of each course in relation to the particular individual’s aptitudes, performance, and needs, Bach succeeding term should bring one closer to the answer to one’s field of study. If one only realizes the great importance of such a decision, if he is in his firslt two years of college, and if he has still not decided his major, he should take account with himself. Nothing but ex perience can teach this lesson. Experience and your own re flections make the decisions for you and it is too important a decision to mlake at the spur of 'the moment. Perhaps, when you have settled this problem of field of study, you can con tinue to work on some other lyrics contained in the folk song mentioned above, which are: “... and I know who’s going with >> me... Petition Signed By 150 Students Recently, several students, headed by Edmund Skernolis, drew up a petition. This petition’s pur- pose was to regain the privilege of card playing at Highacres. Signed by 150 students, it was taken to director of student af fairs, Mr. Joseph McCallus. It succeeded in bringing about a trial run, so to speak. Students are now allowed to play pinochle and bridge. However, if the director discovers the privilege is again be ing abused, forfeiture will occur.

Faculty Advisor Mr. Thomas Price EDITORIAL Administration Issues Fire Escape Warning The administration of Highacres wishes to call the students* atten tion to the hazards involved in using the fire escapes of Main Building during this term. Since it is winter, there is usually ice or snow covering the structure, which makes it extremely dangerous. Se rious damage to a student’s phys ical well-being is only enhanced by using the fire escape to cut off a few minutes extra walking time. Though the administration cannot order the students to discontinue the use of the fire escape they can and do strongly urge it. We of the Highacres Collegian staff support their admonition. HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN New Book in Highacres Library is Reviewed for PSU Students ERNEST HEMINGWAY A Moveable Feast, Sketches of the Author’s Life In Paris in the Twenties Ernest Hemingway left the world a generous legacy in these sketches of his early life in Paris in the Twenties. So complete is the spell of his art that the four decades between what was done and what was felt then and what was remembered and written later seem barely to have intervened. Everything is perceived directly through the eyes and ears of the young writer himself, living in the pre-dawn of recognition. The reader walks with him along the Paris streets, watching fishermen along the banks of the Seine or dropping by at Sylvia’s Beaches to borrow a book; returns with him (sometimes frugally skipping a meal) to the Heming way’s small apartment on the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs with the sawmill in the courtyard below; sits by him In a cafe while paragraph by paragraph, scarcely looking up, he constructs one of the stories that created a new voice for the literature of our time. It was a time of hunger and dis cipline and also one of fulfillment and happiness. We share taut Achievement of Quota Guarantees Blood To Highacres Students It has recently been announced by the school nurse, Mrs. Marga ret Tamea, that the blood drive which was held last term was successful. The Red Cross in formed Mrs. Tamea that our thirty donors have sufficiently covered our student body. Due to our fluctuating enrollment, the previous quota of thirty-five pints was decreased to thirty. Those persons who need blood can obtain the blood receipts in the infirmary SEVEN STUDENTS LEAVE HIGHACRES Students at Highacres who in tend to transfer to University Park for the 1965 Spring term are as follows: Brobst, Charles J. Egger, Carolyn Kapes, Jerome T. Misantone, Louis Sehar, John, Jr. Uricheck, Thomas J. Potance, Thomas J. February 10, 1965 days at the race-track at Enghein and happy strenuous weeks skiing in the Verahlberg in Austria. These chapters glow with the joy of recollection. There are many vivid portraits from memory: Gertrude Stein pro viding little glasses of liqueurs and impromptu lectures in her apartment on the rue de Fleurus; Ezra Pound learning to box; Fowl Maddox Ford discoursing oh the mysteries of being a gentleman; and a number of others, all pro foundly expressive. One of the more important is the portrayal of F. Scott Fitzgerald, an amusing truthful one, softened by the af fection for the man and respect for his genius. The motor trip he and Hemingway made from Lyons to Paris will surely take its place as one of the great comic journeys of literature. This represents a book review of only one fine book in our library here at Highacres. Many other fine and Informative volumes are on the shelves, as well as the many reference works.
