DILL by Bill Michael When Dr. Laura Dill came to Highacres from Idaho this year, she was deeply impressed by the rich beauty of the Pocono atmosphere and the charming Conyngham countryside in which the Hazleton Campus is situated. But what was even more amazing to her was the interested, sincere atti tude displayed by most Penn Staters. "The students here have a genuine desire to learn," she told me, smiling with the con tentment of an educator who has found an ideal teaching environment. Dr. Dill was a registered nurse when she decided to enter the teaching profession. She has recently completed work for her Doctor of Arts Degree in a program specifically oriented to fresh man and sophomore English. Dr. Dill, whose office is located on the second floor of the Memorial Building, is ; thus far quite satisfied with the Highacres English depart ment.

Even more important, Dr. Frankel pointed out that the faculty at High acres are a friendlier group than the faculty of Michigan State University, where he did his graduate work. Among his dislikes are cucumbers and nasty people, but his likes include David Bowie, the Montreal Canadians Hockey Team (especially Peter Mahovlich), poetry, fungus, astronomy, and anything that turns him on. Dr. Frankel is a dedic ated Biology teacher who finds little time to think about trivial things. He is a happy go-lucky bachelor and a man of high ideals. He is sensia. tive to both the arts and sci ences--a Renaissance-type man who leads his life the way he prefers instead of leading it the way other people expect him to.

She is a warm and helpful woman who has a great regard for her students and colleagues--in fact, for the whole world in general. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, but it al so a perfectionist in the area of grammar. (So, fresh men, you had better consult Heath's Handbook before turn- ing in your paper. Mrs. Moyer regards her new position at Highacres as MRS. MOYER by Donna Marie Bayer . English I students have by now undoubtedly noticed the presence of a new instructor in their classrooms. This lovely and friendly lady is, Mrs. Norma Moyer, who has just begun her first terms as an in structor at Highacres. Mrs. Moyer comes to us after eight years of teaching at Hazleton High School, where she was head bf the English Department for three years, advisor of the Literary Soc iety, and advisor of the Janus, the high school yearbook, for three years. While at Hazle ton High, Mrs. Moyer taught such interesting courses as speed reading, creative writing, and futuristic literature (that is science fiction for all of you Star Trek fans out there).
