She is also the Student Council Secretary at the University. Miss Kisthart presented a brief discussion on "How to Avoid Problems and be More Aware of University Regulations on Transferring to University Park as a 7th Term -Student." Although the meeting was aimed at business students, it really applied to all students on this campus who are 6th term students and transferring to University Park in the fall. New Horizons is now on sale The second volume of The New Horizons Literary Magazine made its appearance on campus this term. The magazine is a collection of creative work from students on campus who write, draw, or enjoy the art of photography. Co-editors Richard J. Rockman and Thomas E. Winters worked long hours selecting and arranging the many contributions into a 62 page collage of expressive ideas. The Students for a Creative Society had 250 copies printed for the campus; they will be on sale at the library for a mere quarter until the end of the term. Reverie will be mailed in August The 1972 Reverie, the second and last yearbook at the Hazleton CampuS, will go to press in the near future, according to a staff spokesman. The book will be mailed to subscribers sometime in late August. Only fifty copies of the -book were sold and this lack of interest has forced the staff and the Office of Student Affairs to bury the yearbook after this issue is completed. Out of all the campus groups and clubs, a mere nine expressed their interest to be a part of the book. These are the yearbook staff, The Hiiacres Collegian, the Belles Lettres Society, the Highacres Car Club, the Student Government Association, the Student Union Board, Students for a Creative Society, the Hazleton Campus Chorus, and the Parachute Club. The two-year graduates will be represented by names only. No one responded to the free picture call offered by the yearbook. and Brenda Hill. They won the election with 101 votes.

CBS news gives talk by Anne McKinstry Robert Pierpont, CBS News White House Correspondent, spoke on June 7 in C-1 to an audience of students, faculty and Hazleton citizens. He initiated his presentation with a few comments on President Nixon's recent trip to Russia, which he reported. He felt that in spite of the Vietnam blockade, the Soviets wanted a successful summit meeting. He gave two reasons for this: the Soviet leadership is deeply concerned about the rise of Communist China and has chosen the route of easing relations with her traditional western enemies and the desire for the SALT Treaty. One sign of their desire for everything to go well was the Soviet's unusual hospitality to newsmen. He noted a specific problem with the Soviets - the secret police. The press were kept from the Nixon's and the Nixon's were kept from the people. Another observation that he made about the Russia trip was that he "timing was not accidental." Nixon was well aware of the impact of this sort of action in an election year. About the elections, Pierpoint made a number of speculations, one of them being a deal to be made between Humphrey and Wallace. He also speculated on a deadlock at the Democratic Convention, in the event of which we will see a deadlock. He does predict that McGovern will win the Democratic nomination and gives odds of 7-5 that Nixon will win re-election. Pierpoint made observations as to the difference of atmospheres in the White House relative to the personality of the President. He has worked in the White House under four Presidents: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. Under Eisenhower the White House was run more like a military operation. He said that Eisenhower was a pages two, HAZLETON, PENNSYLVANIA 18201 correspondent man of great personal integrity. Kennedy brought into the White House a considerable sense of movement and purpose with the "vigor" he was so noted for. He brought with him intellectuals, appealed to youth, and challenged America to do better. However, Pierpoint said, Kennedy was blocked in his programs by Congress and by the bureaucracy. Another reason why many problems were left unsolved during his term of office Was that he was President for only a short period of time. At this time in history, the White House was an exciting place to work. There was no block between newsmen and the men of policy. Johnson, on the other hand, knew how to handle Congress and got legislation passed concerning Medicare, aid to education, anti-poverty, and voting rights. The White House of the Hazleton students are awarded top honors More than 240 undergraduates at the Pennsylvania State University have been honored for outstanding scholastic achievements. The awards were presented Sunday, June 4, by Dr. John W. Oswald, president of the University, at a reception held at University House.

McLaughlin, Robert Funanage, Frances Lester, Judy Roby, Jean Yeselski, and Tom Winters. at Highacres Johnson Era was hectic, because he was a very active man who liked to spring surprises. He was very accessable to reporters, something very important to the press. Two big problems that Nixon will have in re-election are Vietnam and the economy. Nixon was not much of a pragmatist until last summer, but the question is, "Did he take the action soon enough?" A spirited question and 'answer period followed the lecture. Among the questions raised were busing, the Russian summit, the role of Presidential advisors, as well as the upcoming Presidential elections. With this issue, the Highacres Collegian ends publication for the 1971-72 year.
