HIGHACRES ACQUIRES BELL
This year, the Highacres Campus
acquired a large golden bell which stands
in the garden between the SUB and the Main
Building. Mr. Frank Kostos, administrative
head of the Hazleton Campus, obtained the
bell from an old school building. Mr.
Kostos wanted the bell as a symbol of free
"fhy oren ! t people clearing their tables
yet? A few days ago a group of professors
came into tho Sub at lunch time to eat.
Before they could sit down they had to clear
off the table of garbage and trash left there
by students. This is only one case, but
there are many more.
The SUB is your building, built.for
your convenience because people in college
are supposed’ to be mature enough to accept the
responsibility of keeping it clean and neat.
Apparently the shudent body is not cap
able or lacks the interest to accept such a
responsibility. If this is the case, I- am
sure that The House Rules Committee will
find some methods of jpaiiaJvaent to., curb the
infantile behavior of Catering. l am sure
that no one wants this Hi
Why don’t the people- responsible for
the several accidents of the past few weeks
contact Mr. Ciraino. If this is-done quickly
and .quitely it would be handled in the same ,
manner. No one would have to know, except *.
.the parties involved.
By running you have gotten yourselves
into more trouble than you possibly could
get into by reporting it. However, you can
avoid any more trouble by following this
suggestion.
