Great Jones
by J. Martonick
I was in attendance at the
Jefferson Airplane concert on
Saturday, November 21.
Before the Airplane performed,
an unknown group named
Great Jones performed. Such a
variety of hard rock, jazz, and
plain good music is hard to
find in any one group but was
present here and delighted the
people in attendance. It seems
that it won't be a very long
time before Great Jones begins
to receive all due recognition.
In the end, the realization
came, (to me at least) that
Great Jones, in 45 minutes,
and played a better concert
than Jefferson Airplane had in
2 1 / 2 hours. And that was
without a light show, Great
Jones, remember that name.
I'm sure we'll all be hearing
quite a bit from them in the
future.

ANCrT IN F Col ONIIIO,
Undoubtedly you have
noticed the many new
buildings being constructed on
campus; the future promises
more.
The projected number of
students to be in attendance at
Highacres by 1976 has been set
at 2000. This number may
conceivably be revised if
construction moves ahead of
schedule. Presently, there are
669 full-time students
attending classes at Highacres.
Next year, 820 students are
expected to be in attendance.
More courses and faculty
members will be added as the
enrollment grows at Highacres.
Next year, eight or nine
instructors are expected to bed
added to the Highacres staff.
Among the buildings
included in the expansion
program and now under
construction is a new
classroom building. Facilities in
this building include
classrooms, laboratories and a
200-seal lecture hall. This
structure is expected to be
operational by the Spring term
of 1971. The cost of the
building has exceeded $1
million.
A food-service building
and a student residence hall,
which will house some 200
students, are also in the
construction stage. These
buildings are to be in use by
Fall term of 1971. Th e student
residence hall is to be co-ed.
One hundred men and one
hundred women will be
accomodated in this building.
Separate wings of the building
will be designated to male and
female students. Regulations
have not, as of yet, been
established.
A new library is scheduled
to be in use by 1972. The final
design for this building was
approved earlier this year.
Unfortunately, construction
has not progressed as was
cheduled, so there is a
possibility that the 1972
deadline may not be met. The
cost of the building is expected
to surpass $1 million.
A new physical education
building is also projected to be
constructed by 1973. The cost
of this building alone is

estimated to be around $2
million. The cost of equiping it
is estimated to be
approximately $270,000.
Tennis and basketball courts
are also to be constructed near
the athletic field.
The Markle Mansion is
now scheduled for demolition.
In its place, Frank C. Kostos,
Director of the Hazleton
Campus, has suggested to
officials at University Park that
a look-out point overlooking
the Conyngham Valley be
constructed in its place. Kostos
said the mansion's demolition
would save the University
money.
The campus bookstore is
expected to be moved to the
chemistry building by Fall
term of '7l.
After the food service is
complete and in use, there is a
possibility that the Student
Union Building will be
converted for some different
use. The Food Service Manager
will make the final decision for
the use of the SUB. A
suggestion has been made to
convert upper floor in to a
huge lounge and the lower part
into a cafeteria. Another
suggestion has been to convert
the cafeteria into an SGA
office. Any students having
suggestions as to the
renovation of the SUB are
asked to submit them to the
Collegian office.
Kostos also said that the
expansion program should have
little effect on tuition. Tuition,
in part, is controlled by the
State Legislature. Legislation
also allots money for the
construction of classroom
buildings. The reason behind
the delayed construction of the
library lies in the fact that
funds allotted to the University
have been delayed. State funds
are not alloted to the
University for the construction
of food service buildings,
parking lots, and dormitories.
The University must borrow
the money to finance these
projects from
banks in the form of bonds. It
is called an "auxiliary
enterprise" when no state
funds are involved in financing

such projects. The University
borrows the money in one
large sum. The money is then
divided among the
Commonwealth campuses
according to the individual
needs of each.
The construction of
classroom buildings is turned
over to the General State
Authority(GSA). The GSA
finances the construction of
the building, after which the
University sends in two
inspectors to approve it before
the University will accept the
building. Once accepted, the
GSA "rents" the building to
the University and eventually
turns it over to them.
A name for the new
classroom building has not yet
been determined. Under the
present policy, followed by the
University, the name of the
new building will be
established at University Park.
Such buildings are usually
named after local people, who
have previously expired and
have done something beneficial
for the University.
No doubt, the Highacres
expansion program will be a
betterment for both the
faculty and students.
The legend of
mistletoe
Who started kissing under the
mistletoe?
Why do people kiss under
mistletoe at Christmas? This
custom is deeply rooted in the
folklore, mythology and
religious rites of many lands.
One theory credits teh
Scandinavians with originating
the practice centuries ago.
Th ey believe that mistletoe had
supernational power.; for good,
and hung it overhead in their
homes. When passing loeneath
it, men and women kissed one
another to signify peace arKi
love.
Another theory is that the
custom began during ancient
Roman festivals, such as
Saturnalia, when vice and
crime were rampant. Still
another traces it to a Norse
saga in which a handsome god
was slain Ey a spear made of
mistletoe. The other gods, after
restoring him to life, ordered
mistletoe to bring people only
happiness in the future. The
mother of the slain god, joyous
because of the recovery of her
son, kissed the gods.
Th e Druids, pagan priests
of anceint Gaul (now France)
and Britain, apparently were
the first to hang mistletoe
indoors, Believing the plant to
be sacred, they kept it in their
homes to please the spirits
when they came in to escape
the winter cold.
Some early Christian
monks believed that the
mistletoe plant once was a
large tree. But when its wood
was used to make the cross on
which Christ died, the tree
shriveled up from shame. The
monks called the plant "wood
of the cross" and wore
mistletoe charms to protect
them from disease. Even today,
in some countries, mistletoe is
