by Margaret Grega
Collegian Reporter
The first official meeting
of the new Student
Government Association was
held on Sept. 31, 1971, its
purpose being to organize for
the year some of the campus'
committees. President Paul
Yanoshik presided.
Volunteers for the Student
Affairs Committee were Dave
Donovan, Gary Labanoski, and
William Gentilesco. Dean
Joseph Mc Callus, three
members of the faculty, and
Yanoshik also belong to this
committee.
Also, the Student Court
was set up for this year. The
six regular volunteers are
Charlie Andrews, Bill
Gentilesco, Steve Wilson, Kevin
Deeny, Mike Tamulis and Judy
Trisco. Lynn Farmer and,
Barbara Sheerin will be the
alternates. Second term
standing and a 2.0 average are
the requirements for remaining
on the Court.
Dean McCallus stated that
a Constitutional Revision
Committee will be needed to
continue the rewriting of the
new constitution, which was
begun by last year's SGA. Mary

to the mischief of some of the
players, it turned out to be
unprofitable for the school and
the vending company.
It was suggested in other
business that the dorm
students should have some
representation in the SGA..
Dean Fogelson stated that the
residence hall students were to
vote for their own government
on October 5, and so it was
decided that the president and
vice-president of the residence
hall government be considered
voting representatives od the
SGA. This decision will be
written into the new

Plans are being formulated

the 1972 Reverie. The book
will contain sections on

During the day the
students performed alternate
tasks of parking aides, bus
hosts and tour guides. The
parking aides directed traffic in
the lower parking lot. They
also had the duty of greeting
the visitors to the Hazleton
Campus, and directing them to
the buses.
To save visitors from
walking up the hill, two buses
were chartered to take them
from the lower parking lot to
the Classroom Building. While
on the buses, the bus hosts
pointed out , the additions to
the campus, such as the Co-Ed
Dorm and the food-service
building.
The hosts also gave a brief
history of the Hazleton
Campus, beginning with the
first classes held in the Miner's
Bank Building and on up to the
present day Highacres. Once
they reached the top of the
campus, the visitors were
ushered to seats assembled
outside the Classroom Building
for the dedication ceremonies.
After the ceremonies the
visitors were allowed tO tour
the new Classroom Building.
The visitors, escorted by the
student tour guides, were
shown various displays in the
Chemistry, Biology; Physics,
Electronics, and Language
Laboratories. They were also
free to examine the other
classrooms and talk with any
of the professors who were in
the building.
From the Classroom
Building, the visitors were
taken back down the hill (via
buses) to the lower part of the
campus. There they could tour
the Co-Ed dormatory with
assistance from the resident
students. Afterwards,
refreshments were provided in
the food service building.
In commenting on the
Dedication and Open House,
Frank C. Kostos said that
"everyone did a tremendous
job" and described the event as
a "huge success." George
Caliva especially wanted to
express his sincere appreciation
to the Student Committee.
Hopefully, our campus can
look forward to more
dedication ceremonies in the
future, as this was but an initial
step in the enlargement of the
Hazleton Campus.
Any student interested in
working on the Yearbook in
any capacity is urged to attend
the meeting. Previous
experience is not necessary.
Co-editors for the 1972
Reverie are Mary Polasick and

within 2 1 / 2 years. The building

constructed in such a fashion
as to easily accommodate large
group assemblies as well as to
provide facilities for physical

Facilities to be
incorporated in the building
include, as funds permit,

commented. "I'm delighted
that this project has now
moved another step down the
road to reality."
The gymnasium building is
part of a mammoth expansion
project leading to eventual
conversion of the campus into
a fou r-y ear, degree-granting
institution. The college now
has a two-year program leading
to associate degrees.
Three buildings recently
were constructed at Highacres
and opened for the first time
this semester. They are a
laboratory-classroom building,
a residence hall and a food
service-dining hall complex
built at a total cost of $2.8
million. Also completed is
several thousand dollars worth

sewer and water systems.
In addition, an $850,000
library now is under
construction and a 300,000
gallon water tank is on the

Mr. Bobby said,"According
to the construction workers at
the new library, building of the
new gym is to begin in about a
year, but seeing is believing."
Mrs. Hoffman commented,"lf
the new course scheduling
system goes through, students
will be able to choose their
desired sports activities from a
wide variety." Mr. Biggers feels
the new gym will,"bring the
students together with the
community, as well as

outlined in its constitution, are
as follows: to promote
fellowship among students and
faculty, to stimulate the love
of literature and the allied arts,

literature. Also, to encourage a
deeper study of the history of
cultural movements, to
improve scholarship by mutual
aid and encouragement, and to
sponsor projects serving to
enrich the cultural life of our
campus, the university and the
community
