SPORTS ACTIVITIES AT HAZLETON CAMPUS
Hazleton Campus Basketball Players
Sport Excellent Record for Season
At the very outset of the bas
ketball season, it looked as though
our “net-swishing” aggregation
here at Highacres was far from
an eye-brow raiser. Losing two of
the first three games, one toLack
awanna Jr. College 151-117, made
the outlook seem dim. The old
paying, “Never count your chick
ens before they hatch,” definitely
applies to the Hazleton P. S. U.
team, for the team suddenly
batched out of its losing shell and
oiithustled and outshot every team
in sight. After losing a tough one
to Wilkes-Barre P. S. U. 83-81,
Hazleton P. S. U. has run together
a string of 6 straight victories to
stretch its record to 7 victories
and 2 defeats.
■ What has contributed to this
sudden winning by the Highacres
team? First of all, six players are
averaging in double figures. Ron
Sindlinger leads the pack with a
29.4 average, and Gene Christina
and “Poncho” Domblaser are av
eraging 21.0 and 17.1 points,
respectively. Rounding out the
■double-figure scorers are Ed Hab
urshock, Rich Smith, and Ed Sker
nolis with 15.8, 12.1, 10.9 points
per game, respectively. Other
members of the team and their
averages are George Bobby, 5.3;
Paul Bujak, 3.2; James DiMeo,
2.1; and Calvin Spencer, 1.0. As
the averages indicate, Hazleton
P. S. U. scores its opponents to
death, unlike many other teams
who play for the “sure shot.” A
point to illustrate this was the
game between Highacres and Mc-
Cann’s School of Business. Trail-

ing at half-time, Hazleton came
back in the second half to score
90 points and go on to a 131-109
victory. Hazleton is averaging
101.8 points per game while their
opponents are averaging 88.8
points per game, which is “sure”
shooting in anyone’s book.
While the players deserve all
the praise in the world for their
tremendous effort thus far, not to
be overlooked is the great coach
ing job done by our own Mr. Leis
ter. He has guided the team
through their let-downs and mis
takes with great skill and tactful
ness. Of course, it is the players
who play the game, but it is the
coach who does the big job of get
ting them ready for the game, and
that’s half the battle. The team’s
record, in itself, proves the success
of Mr. Leister. This, plus the reg
ular attendance of four of our co
eds as cheerleaders, serve as an
additional inspiration for the
team. Their faithfulness is an ef
fort which should not be over
looked and is greatly appreciated
by both Mr. Leister and the team.
CAMPUS EXPANSION . .
versity officials on problems re
lating to expansion of the local
campus:
1. People in the local commu
nity must be made aware of the
importance of the college facilities
here.
2. An enrollment of more than
600 is anticipated here in the near
future, and from 750 to 1,000 by
1980.
3. Graduate courses can be of
fered here in almost any field if
there is a demand for them.
4. Much of the future expan
sion of Pennsylvania State Uni
versity will occur at Common
wealth campuses, such as the one
in Hazleton.
5. Hazleton must help itself, as
other communities are now doing,
if it expects the main campus to
help.
The physical plant here at pres
ent is not able to accommodate
many more students and action
must be taken as soon as possible
to provide the needed additional
facilities.

Last Collegian Edition
Makes Error in Story
In the February 10 edition of
the Highacres Collegian, an article
concerning the Student Govern
ment Association’s Christmas par
ty appeared on the last page. It
was erroneously stated that Jer
ome Kapes was in charge. Kapes,
by virtue of his office as president
of SGA, naturally presides over
such an affair; however, the im
mediate head of this particular
function was Joseph Zola, chair
man, whose services were of much
importance to the successful fete.
The Highacres Collegian wishes to
apologize for its oversight to Zola.

Former Students Of

Alumni Organization
Each year, a number of students
are graduated from the Hazleton
Campus in the Associate Degree
program. In addition, a number of
students go to the Main Campus
or to some other college to com
plete their Baccalaureate Degree

member their days spent at High
acres. They keep us informed of

ation are as follows:
1. To continue old friendships
and cultivate new ones among
members.

Hazleton Campus in order to offer
Suggestions concerning courses.
4. To assist the graduates con
cerning placement.
- 6. To recommend the organ
ization of night classes at High
acres according to the needs of the
area graduates.

of study for at least one semester
