Dear Editor:
As a new member of the faculty at The Hazleton Campus, I was
delighted to find that THE HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN was a
campus newspaper which reported intelligently (and intelligibly) on
a wide _variety of topics of interest to the Highacres community. I
would like to compliment you and your staff especially on the high
quality of reporting of campus news. The columns, furthermore, are
witty and informative, though I must admit that I do not always
understand the modern idiom in which they are written (a sure sign
of my aging process, I am afraid).
There was, however, one small advertisement which continues
to bother me. It was the advertisement for a term paper service in
California. 1 am aware that a small campus newspaper walks a
financeal tightrope and that advertising is one of the most agreeable
aids to economic balance. On the other hand, running an ad of this
nature strikes at one of the very foundations of the college
experience: the nurturing of the ability to arrive at and
communicate, ideas honestly and clearly. I has been my experience
that the students at Highacres do not need to plagiarize to produce
competent work. Also, there are possible legal hazards in carrying
such an advertisement. Points 3 and 6 under the Code of Conduct of
University Policies, Rules and Procedures Governing Conduct for
Students clearly state Penn State's attitude toward plagiarism.
(Incidentally, the State Attorney General for New York: is
prosecuting such phony term paper companies— Pennsylvania may
soon follow.)
Again, let me emphasize how much I have enjoyed reading THE
HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN. I look forward to future issues and
wish you continued success.

LETTER OF APPRECIATION
Dear Highacres,
After three issues of the HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN, a small
group of people are very tired, but happy. We, the Board of
Directors, have worked many hours on the writing, organizing and
printing of this newspaper. There are a few people to whom we owe
a debt of gratitude. Their help has made our impossible task of
publication less difficult. A grateful thank-you to:
—The parents of the composition staff, Mr.& Mrs. Pat Fisher,
Mr.& Mrs. Peter Crofcheck, Mr.& Mrs. Harold Walck, Mr.& Mrs.
William Gallagher, Rev.& Mrs. George Harris and Mr.& Mrs. Floyd
Busher, for the use of their respective children and for allowing them
to spend so much time at the print shop.
—The faculty, especially Dr. Harold Aurand, Mr. Richard
Campbell, Mrs. Deidre Jago, Professor Andrew Kafka, Mrs. Susan
Miller, Mr. Alan Price, and Dr. Michael Santulli, for encouraging us,
offering constructive criticism and leading us to news stories. It is
nice to know somebody cares.
—Our friends, Debbie Berger, John Busher, Mary Angie
DeLazio, Mark Denke, Bob Henry, Warren Faust, Edna, Jon Gross,
Becky Harris, Gloria Holoneck, Cindy Lauer, Janilou Maderick,
Cathy Mulligan, Mike Petresky, Maria Rovito, Mark Rusin and Jack
Yatsko, for writing articles, running around campus and generally
being helpful in promoting free press.
—Our "neighbors," Dean McCallus, Mrs. Mary Bast and all the
tenants of the Memorial Building, for putting up with our constant
flow of traffic and other annoying habits. - We know that we are not
easy to live with, but hopefully we will soon move to other quarters
and will take the noise with us.
'incerely,
Alan Price
—Our advertisors, whose financial backing is needed and
appreciated. When patronizing these places, please mention our
name; it helps.
—Tom Zubach, the printer, for turning over his home, office
and equipment to us.
—The mystery tree hunters, Jeff Jacobs and Barbara Houck, for
finding it first. Honorable mention goes to Ken Heydt, Joe Morris
and Steve Wilson. Nice try, guys!
—Anyone who took the time to read the HIGHACRES
COLLEGIAN. We hope that it caused you to think, smile or gave
you something to do for a few idle minutes.
—Finally, and most important, to Highacres itself.
We cordially invite anyone interested in the paper to contact us
during the Winter Term. Thanks everybody, you have encouraged us
and given us hope. We shall return!

fund to pay for the lights. The
second committee set up was the
Publec Relations Committee

at Highacres in the hope of
establishing better relations with
the surrounding communities.
President Bob Henry closed
the agenda with a reminder that
such activities as these
committees are the
responsibilities of the SGA
members. He further reminded
them of their elected offices and
asked for increased support on
these new matters.

the staffs from other campus
nespapers at University Park for
the annual newspaper workshop

The areas discussed were
designed to make the local
campus nespapers run more
smoothly and efficiently. Basic
areas included Advertising and
advertisement placement,
Business management and
budget, Photography, Page

Newswriting workshop. Roles of
editors and staff were also

of all present.
