Faculty and students tour new building Members of the Highacres community took advantage of the warm weather April 13 to tour the new classroom building erected recently on campus. Director Frank C. Kostos said that he arranged the informal open house for the benefit of the faculty, staff, and students in order to acquaint them with the new facility. "They are curious as to what's in there," he said. The General State Authority, which constructed the building, had inspectors on hand to serve as guides for the tours, which lasted from 1:30 to 4:15 pm. Kostos , said that although Aloha chosen as May Ball theme The annual May Day celebration will be held this year on May 15th. This tradition began in 1945 at the Penn State Center in Hazleton. At that time the ceremonies consisted of the coronation of a May Que l :n in the afternoon with an accompanying program and a Queen's Ball at night, both held indoors in a, Hazleton hall or ballroom. In 1950, when the Hazleton Center was moved to Highacres, the queen's coronation was held in the garden between the S.U.B. and the Main Building. Later it was moved to the green in front of the Main Building. For the past few years the May Day celebration has been consolidated into a "May Ball." It will be held on May 15th in the S.U.B. from 9-1. The music will be provided by TNT. The crowning of the May Queen is scheduled for 9:15. The queen and her court will be announced the first week in THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the Highacres Collegian recently elected John Roslevich,Jr. (3rd, L.A.; West Hazleton) to the position of Editor-in-chief.

After completing his tour of the building, Ralph Crawfor, Assistant Professor of Zoology, said, "I was amazed at all the rooms given over to biology. It's getting more than chemistry or physics." Crawford doubts if all of the rooms will be equipped by next year but in two years it will be in full operation. Despite this he said, "I think I like it, though." May.

Frederick Esher, Associate Professor of General Engineering, remarked that the transparent drainpipes utilized in the construction are a very recent innovation. - He also called attention to the "nice view" of the Conyngham and Butler Valleys that one gets from the rooms, because it is "the highest of all our buildings." The instructor of Spanish and Italian at Highacres, Francis Pierucci, had these comments after his tour: "The building is already beautiful and conducive to academics, but wait until it gets its 'guts,' such as the language laboratories which will also serve as a listening center for music and almost any other taped or recorded matter. It will be an academic mansion, really. We, Mr. Erwin and I regret that we didn't take offices up here after seeing "New Horizons" literary magazine goes into print by Richard Dymond The New Horizons literary magazine asks the lyrical question, "Will Hazleton Highacres ever awake?"

(Ed. note: Stuart Erwin is the instructor in French.) One student summed up her feelings about the building by saying, "I should get all A's just to work in this place." A memo to the faculty and staff from Kostos gave the following list of rooms and their corresponding assignments: Ground Floor: Room 1 - Lecture; First Floor: Rooms 101, 102, 106, 117, 118, 119 - Classrooms; 107 through 112,115,116, 120 - Offices; 113, 114 - Seminar rooms; 121 - Language Lab; and 122 - Computer Lab.

The literary staff banded together and pondered the question of whether anything could grown in this soil! Whether anything could evoke the response of something so lethargic as this student body. We decided that NO, nothing could, but we would go ahead anyway, just to spite those indifferent to our endeavors. And so, the NEW HORIZONS was borne out of scorn and the desire for self-fulfillment. This offers a unique insight into the very depths of the "Hazleton problem." If the literary magazine was born out of a scorn for apathy and indifference, then maybe this is the spirt in which other endeavors might take hold. In order to justify your feeling you must get up and demonstrate against those things which you believe are being overlooked. Get up on a soap-box with scorn in your eyes and don't be afraid to speak to their backs they will not turn. Do not let them turn on you. I believe that we have created something out of nothing. Just like a poem itself, the literary magazine started as something borrowed. Borrowed from nature of necessity, then there were the first words, the elusive ideas, the ephemeral stabs in the dark. An idea and then some con tiniuty and the endless molding of that word into something that is shapeful and continued on page three
