Registration
deadline
extended
to Oct 31
The deadline for voter registration in
Luzerne County has been extended
because of difficulties encountered in flood
recovery. If you have not registered, you
may still do so at the Wilkes—Barre
Courthouse Annex on the second floor of
the Northeastern National Building on
Broad and Wyoming Streets in Hazleton.
The League of Women Voters has
announced that the deadline has been
extended to October 31. There is a
possibility, however, that it will be
extended to Election Day itself.
If you are in doubt as to whether you
ay register, or if you have questions
oncerning registration, you may call the
League of Women Voters or the
Headquarters of any major party.
DISCRIMINATION UNCOVERED
IN COURT SYSTEM
(ZNS) In what could be a landmark
ruling, a Federal Judge in Washington,
D.C., has temporarily stopped a criminal
trial on the grounds that jury selection
discrimainates against young people.
U.S. District Judge William Bryant
halted all proceedings against a 20-year-old
robbery suspect after reviewing the court's
list of possible jurors. Bryant agreed with
Defence contentions that younlA
people—those under 30—are grossly
under-represented on both regular juries
and grand juries. The trial has been delayed
until the Justice Department can justify
the fact there are relatively few "under
30's" on official jury lists.
For those of you who spelid your time
looking for mistakes, you can put away'
your magnifying glass--you won't need it.
The mistakes are there, and they will be
there, I'm afraid, until we get used to our
machines. But until such time as you need
your magnifying glass, you can have a field
day! There is one consolation--you won't
develop eye strain.
Whatever you do, please don't stop
looking. How else would we know
somebody is there?

what will be next?
Is the past not worth anything? Some
of us would do anything to preserve the
beauty of the past in this day of
mechanized, modern society - . Apparently
the Administration does not feel this way.
They have destroyed another beautiful
relic of the past. The Main Building has
l 'oined the Mansion and other beautiful
I andmarks in the great constuction site in
he sky.
True, the Main Building is still
standing, but it is but a shadow of its
former greatness. No more will its warm
soft lights beckon us through a shroud of
og. Gone is the warm cozy atmosphere of
he quarters. Gone is the smell of old wood
at had weathered many years--good
"I've got a secret"
(ZNS) The U.S. Government has
announced that it is tightening up its
procedures for classifying secrets.
State Department spokesman Charles
Bray reports that the number of people
who can classify government secrets has
been reduced from 5435 to 2233.
Keeping off the grass
(ZNS) If the amount of money and
the number of volunteers were the deciding
factors, then Californians would surely
decriminalize marijuana when they go to
the polls next month.
Supporters of the decriminalization
effort--the California Marijuana
Initiative--report spending a total of
$75,000 since last February on their cause.
They say they have utilized an army of
volunteers that has numbered up to 20,000
people at times.
On the other hand, the citizens
opposed to the Marijuana Initiative reports
spending only $5OO to date; and they say
their volunteer corps numbers only 300
people. However, the most recent polls
taken in California indicate that a majority
of Californians are still planning to vote
against Proposition 19--which, if passed,
would eliminate criminal penalties for the
simple possession and use of grass in
California.

.and bad. Gone is the feeling of awe as one
sat in the Research Room and dreamt of
the possibilities for such a room and such a
view.
In its place is the stale, anesthetic
smell of progress. The warm brown walls
are now stark white plaster. The beautiful
staircase that wound its way up to the
second floor is now merely functional.
Where once there was ancient beauty now
stark, ugly age has taken its place.
What was done to the Main Building is
a blasphemous sin. Instead of renovating an
old building into new offices, they have
succeeded in making a beautiful old
building just another old building. Where is
all this madness going to end?
Let's not press the issue,
but. . .
Everywhere we turn today we see one
overwhelming issue being pressed. It's an
issue not only on this campus but on many
others as well. The issue is one of active
student participation in the campus. A
number of campus newspapers have
stopped production--others are faltering.
Even the Keystone Society is touched by
this problem. Two of their chapters have
shut down, and at a recent conference,
only three campus chapters responded.
So, all right, it is a big issue, but
harping on it won't change the situation.
What will change it is a change in the
students themselves. We can encouragethe
change (as a campus newspaper, NOT as
individual students), but we cannot make it
happen.
We believe in freedom. You are
entitled, under your personal freedom, to
be uninvolved. We will respect your right,
but we can't encourage it. All we can do is
try to give you some reason to want to
• - come involved.
There are a number of talented and
teresting people on Campus with similar
intrests. If you don't like the activities that
are here, start your own--- it isn't that
difficult. If you need help, we will help if
we can, or you can try the local chapter of
!Once
Keystone Society with your ideas.
!Once you start it, it is your own creation.
Come and talk to us. We won't give
lectures; we are not qualified. But
sometimes we just get lonely.

Dear Students,
Most of the students at the Hazleton
Campus will be staying for a year or more.
Of course, the primary reason for your
being at the Hazleton Campus is for
academic purposes. But in addition to this,
you as students will have a need to put
away the books and do some socializing!
People need activities and programs to
fill their spare time. Many of you will
realize this in the weeks to come, if you
have not already.
It was for these reasons, along with
many others, that the Student Government
Association was organized. The SGA has its
hands in many activities that many
students do not realize. The SGA sponsors
such activities as dances and concerts (the
ravel concert on November 1), Las Vegas
Night, handbook and yearbook
ii•roductions, movies, lectures, and many
ore. SGA also coordinates all clubs and
qctivities sponsored on Campus. There are
I any other things that SGA sponsors, but
he only way that you as students can
Become acquainted with the SGA's clubs
.nd_activities is to get involved! We always
eed your help, and, in this way, we will be
elping you to get involved.
SGA needs your support and cannot
!unction without it. One way of showing
our support is to attend the dance concert
•n November 1, featuring "Gravel" and
`Edison Flyback." A lot of work and
oney has been put into this concert, and
f this is successful, we will, without a
oubt, be sponsoring bigger and better
pings in the future.
If you would like to give your time for
y event or help the SGA in any way,
• lease contact myself, Brenda Hill, or any
~ .GA member. We can only ask for one
*ng from the students of . the Hazleton
ampus--support.
(ZNS) The Rhodesian government has
announced that it will crack down on pop
festivals. Law and Order Minister Desmond
Lardner—Burke told the Rhodesian
parliament that rock festivals lead to
drug-taking and that they increase the
number of marriages between people of
different races.
Sincerly,
Bob Henry
President, SGA
