???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
