???YES, THERE IS A COLLEGIAN Universities are noted for their boisterous committment to the truth, but Highacres wallows in a mire of scilence. The student body, like some prehistoric monster, refuses to act even when its vital inter ests are concerned. The faculty has foresaken its mission to stimulate for the less troublesome role of hearing, seeing, and doing nothing. It is time that the campus shake itself free from its apathy. The new Collegian is dedicated to a dynamic campus. Yes, believe it or else, there is a Highacres Collegian. Until now you have had to take this on blind faith. Today, we materialize your wildest dreams by publishing a reasonable facsimile of a newspaper. Our hape is to publish this yellow journal every two weeks. w ith the aid and support typical of High acres 1 hot-blooded, rabble-rousing student body, we are sure of at least one issue. Our role in this bustling utopia is vague. Our predecessors seem to have been cbntent merely to report campus trivia. Under our new and improved management, we intend not only to report, but to comment. Popularity is not our aim, but we are not going to pro test for the sake of protesting; instead, we offer a forum in which legitimate issues can be aired. Students, faculty, and administration are invited to contribute their ideas and comments. It is only with your help that the COLLEGIAN will be able to fulfill its self assigned mission. Is the Hazleton Campus prepared to face the truth? The sucess or/failure of the Collegian will hold the answer. HIGHACRES DECLARED A CULTURAL POVERTY AREAJi The cultural poverty which exists at Highacres has come to the attention of several of our esteemed faculty members. Messrs. A. Price and San tulli are attempting to form a non club club which will promote an in terest in jazz, classical music, art, drama, and modem literature as opposed to rock-n-roll music, James Bond movies, and television. While we must applaud all attempts to uplift the popular culture, we must ask if the attempt is not anticultural in itself. By attempting to bring distain on popular arts, we wonder if the "cultural uplifters" are not for getting that to be cultural is to be appreciative of all art forms. Be this as it may, the Collegian wholeheartedly endorses the idea of a non-club club which endeavors to offer the student body meaningful cultural alternatives. CULTURE HAS ARRIVED I The arts and culture are in vogue at the Hazleton Campusi Besides the non-club, we are offering an array of imported(very sophisticated) fine arts films. Sponsored by the ftrts and Culture Committee, these films are open to the student body free of charge. The l=rge number of students who took advantage of the opportunity to see "Brandy for The Parson" on October 22 were impressed by the quality and presentation of this very fine film. The next picture in the series will be a documentary on underwater life entitled "The Silent World", and will be shown sometime
