The smug student plowing through three subjects to get his nine credits - they cannot stand one who takes four or more (not to mention extras to keep the campus afloat) for the simple pursuit of knowledge. Give them the slightest scent of blood and they will destroy - like the doves pecking their wounded until they die. They must tear others down to make themselves look good (if only in their own eyes). Acknowledgement is the name of the game. "Look at me; I do my work like a faithful machine. Give me an A. Boost my cum. Hate him! Love me!" They are the festering sores in the quest for a new system. They do not seek it, for they feel comfortable only when they are told what to do. They say, "I cannot change it." They mean, "Don't change it, for then I might have to think for myself and determine my own values and stick by them." They say, "Kill him, kill him," because they recognize in him their own faults. No mercy here - (not from this neighborhood.) He has the audacity to do what I wish to do and can't. Kill him to appease the Emperor. The thing to do, Students, if you don't want this to continue (someday it could be YOU pegged on the dissecting table) is stick together. Students can function effectively without being told how to react. You know how fo find your own heads. You can change the system. But for now, when someone is brought before you for the kill be silent and resolved. Refuse to attack him. Retain your dignity. And if others attack Defend! Whosoever he be, and whatever be his crime, defend him against his attackers. Show them their own wounCh. Try to save what little humanity there is here. Do this. If the prof's intention is to teach, he will find a different method. If it is to absolve himself of guilt, he will have to justify it in his own conscience. If it is to assasinate, he'll have to do it himself, and with no response he'll get the message. Don't let us ruin ourselves and each other! Don't let them make us do it. Shoot down theories Yes. Shoot down ideas Yes. But don't shoot down each other! Peace and justice to all everywhere. Yes, even in the University! [NOTE: Farfetched?

Students Faculty In an encore to the student-faculty basketball game in February, the students rallied to defeat the faculty 13-10 in a softball game played June Bth. Unlike the bsketball game in which a "student rally" fell short by one point, the softball game had a much more pleasing outcome for the students. Hal Marinaro clinched things in the ninth with a homer, Joe Zoeller rapped in two runs with a triple and Harry Woodruff and Ed Yanacek had a couple clutch hits. With that foursome doing the bulk of the hitting, the students finally turned the tables on student-faculty games. It was the first time in three years that the students could manage to top our faculty jocks! The second annual awards banquet was held at Genetti's TANK TOPS rally to defeat in softball 13-10 on May 25th. Members of the basketball, soccer and wrestling teams received jackets from coaches George 3obby (basketball) and Ron Biggers (wrestling and soccer). Basketball co-captains Bill Schaller and Joe Zoeller Results of two surveys announced Special to APS UNIVERSITY PARK (APS) The Office of Student Affairs Research last June completed a 16-month study of the problems, involving the transfer of Commonwealth Campus students. to University Park. The project included a survey of students prior to their transfer to University Park and a re-survey after 15 weeks of attendance at University Park. According to the study, which included 871 students, most transfer students are pleased with their experience of living away from home, but fewer new people were met at University Park than the students had expected. About three-fourths of the students after transfer choose students as their first source of personal assistance, contrary to their Commonwealth Campus experience, according to the report which has been sent to the directors of each campus. The study found that many transfers underestimate the difficulties of academic adjustment at University Park. The majority find that grade competiton is more intense and course work requires more work at University Park. The students surveyed also feel that University Park professors are more lenient about class attendance, have a great deal of knowledge about students' major fields, treat students as adults, but have difficulty in getting to know individual students. Resource materials were considered easier to find at University Park. Almost one-third of the students reported scheduling difficulties and most students do not get as much assistance from faculty advisors as they want. However, in many of the academic items surveyed, the actual experiences were not as bad as the students anticipated before coming to University Park. These students also felt that other University Park students who had not attended a Commonwealth Campus did not consider them "second class" students. Transfer students reported that University Park students are more independent, more liberal about social problems, have more personal feedom, and have more voice in the policies and regulations set at University Park than do Commonwealth Campus students at the campuses. Students were generally disappointed with the orientation program at University Park (29% said they were pleased with orientation). According to the Office of Student Affairs Research, they hope to branch off into specific areas of transfer study. One area under consideration is a study of former Commonwealth Campus students academic performance at University Park. cash for your book ..11 Campus Bookstore Friday = June 16 we will buy your books whether used on this campus or not presented a gift to Coach Bobby, a Polaroid camera outfit, and Dave Donavan then made a similar presentation to Coach Biggers.

UNIVERSITY PARK (AF'S)—Results of a survey on academic advising from 11 of 18 Commonwealth Campuses show a "vigorous spirit of advising " which is lacking at the campus level according to John Casciotti, University Council member fiom the Altoona Campus. Rating their advisors, 19% of the students classified their advisors as Excellent; 35% as Fair; 15% as Poor; and 3% as Terrible. According to Casciotti, the mean is 3.46 —midway between Fair and Good when the results are put on a 5-4-3-2-1 scale for comparisons. 61% of the students surveyed said their advisor was helpful in determining what courses to schedule; 30% said they were not helpful; the remainder were unsure. In discussing career possibilities, 32% said their advisors were helpful while 50% said their were not. The remainder were undecided. A greater majority (55%) said their advisors were not helpful in discussing other academic or non-academic problems; 33% said their advisors were helpful; the remainder were unsure. As an overall observation by the students surveyed, 18% said their campus put a good deal of emphasis on quality academic advising; 36% classified their campus emphasis as "some;" 46% said "not IfeaHy enough" emphasis was being given at their campus. Casciotti also surveyed students, looking for opinion differences according to class, degee candidacy, college, campus, and sex. He said sophomores were "more critical of their advisor's help in scheduling courses and giving career advise, but many fewer freshmen were helped with other academic or non-academic problems." There was very little difference between baccalaureate and associate degree students, according to the survey. 66% of the males surveyed said they felt their advisor was helpful in determining courses. Females reacted with 43% feeling that their advisors were of help. Casciotti said that the students from the College of Engineering and College of Liberal Arts generally were "noticably below the other colleges" surveyed (Engineering, Science, Liberal Arts, Education, Bussiness Administration and Human Development). From the results of the survey, Casciotti concluded that "the largest one or two and the smallest one or two campuses almost always ranked below the others..." Casciotti said he took the survey in conjunction with the University Council's study of academic advising. A eulogy for Highacres This, people, has been an eventful year in the lives of the real members of Highacres. What have these members seen come about this past year in their tiny community? Well first, but certainly not most, was the destruction of the Mansion breaking all ties here with the life that once was and the life that could be. The real, full time members and caretakers of Highacres (the chipmunks, rabbits, and other assorted furry friends) were greatly disturbed by the loss. Gone the storage house and playground, and gone boyhood dreams of rabbithood. When asked to comment, Mr. H.R. Puffytail, leader of the happy community, had this to say, "Well, umphf, we'll certainly miss the old house, umphf. I remember how sad we were to see her built, umphf. Great many friends lost their lives in that one, yes, umphf. But we'd grown fond of it. Good many promising rabbits, squirrels, and mice, umphf, lost their lives in the destruction, too. But then, what with some of that stuff left laying around, umphf, where it fell, I think we may lose some more, Umphf." Mr. Puffytail was pessimistic , when asked about the plans for the new gym. "I'm afraid it'll be worse than building the old house, umphf, what with that new fangled machinery, umphf. Can't keep those damned kids away from it. Umphf." Mr. Puffytail was more hopeful on the new library. "Well umphf, we lost a lot of good tree homes, true, umphf, but we were surprised how many were saved. Yes, it wasn't too bad, that one. Now, if only, umphf, it can continue. Lot of work went into saving those trees, I just hope the people using the building don't destroy them. Umphf I seen it happen many a time...." Mr. Puffytail also had a few choice words regarding the new athletic field; he doesn't begrudge, he stated, the use. He also hopes that next year's new crop of students will visit them more often. The community extends a hand of friendship and urges the integration of the two communities. In addition to these exciting events, this year also saw the celebration of the second birthday of the literary magazine. This was a tremendous effort and almost half a success in spite of the student participation. Members upon completing the magazine were met with yawns of apathy, and during the public sale in the SUB, were met with overwhelming requests for change and loans of money (not to mention the requests for pinochle cards) an exciting event indeed. This year also saw the rise of the Highacres Collegian from a two page newspaper to the sometimes 4 sometimes 6 page bundle of information we all know and love. This feat of unbelievable magnitude is the result of great student participation. Two great students' participation to be exact. Truly a feat worthy of commendation. There was also a sad note on this campus, but it was heard by very few people. (Who can hear over the din of the jukebox and the pinochle games?) It was the anniversary of the„ B.,eyerie. the campus yearbook. Sad? Yes —it may also mar the Oath, oldie yearbook. Out of 900 kids and faculty on campus, 40 people bought yearbooks. That leaves 860 shitheads who could give a damn less obviously. Oh, but who needs a yearbook anyway? Who wants to remember Highacres Hilton? Who wants to waste time thinking over comments on the why's and reasons for college, purpose, and responsibility. So, we will bury her in a shallow grave and forget, for no one will mourn except perhaps the staff, who will, by then, be happily tucked away in Dreamhaven's Home for the Weary and Sick at Heart. Oh, but to counteract this tragedy was the highlight of the year a truly shining example of the goals and promises of University life. On Anyhour, Anyday, 1972, the pinnacle of student participation was acheived in the SUB. On those days the Pinochle Tourney was held. 200 kids played continually with time-outs for the incidentals of classes, food, and an occasional scornful glance at the members of various activities trying to drum up members, money, or conversation. The crowning glory of this tourney was when Joe Cool and Pinochle Pete beat out Shithead and Asshole on no-trump leads! (That's it think hard!) An exciting and quite normal day in our happy community. Yes, indeed, this has been a fascinating and encouraging year. So fascinating and so encouraging, in fact, that there may be no newspaper next yyear, no yearbook, and a number of other things may be severely handicapped. In fact, in the opinion of a person more optimistic than I, in five years there may be no campus at all. Once again we will bury her in a shallow grave with a tombstone of slate from the long-gone floors of ancient buildings. The eulogy will be short and bitter - unheard in the mad rush of trampling feet. No one will say, "We loved her, and she is gone," The life drains now, and no one listens. NO ONE LISTENS to her last wasting moans. Donations Requested Freedom of P.O.W.'s Over 1,500 Americans are either Prisoners of War of Missing in Action in Southeast Asia.
