ALUMNI CORNER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 creamer known as "Preem." How ever, the process was not feas able on a large-scale basis, and, unfortunately, was never carried into mass production. Last year, when Mr. Ber ner heard that Kramer's Jewel ers was for sale, he decided to purchase the business and settle in Hazleton. He had worked for a jewelry store in Berwick during high school, and dropped in from time-to time during his years at Uni versity Park, so he knew the jewelry business well. Mr. Berner likes the area, "I feel like I'm a Hezletonian now. I plan to spend the rest of my life here." Mr. Berner attended the Highacres Campus in the Spring Term of 1964. Mr. Earner is well aware of the competition of, a college, especially with his experience with University Park. For this reason he feels that HighaOres is in some ways an easier campus to identify with, by virtue of sheer numbers. He feels that there is "more personal contact here at Highacres," which he feels is a great asset to the campus and to the students. Mr. Berner would like to see Highadres someday built into a four-year campus. How ever, he cannot see this hap pening in the near future, al though he feels that the new Physical Education Building is am important step.in the - right direction. He does, how ever, forsee difficulties with birth numbers and facilities. He would "like to see more cooperation between the community ane-Highacres." Mr. Hammer feels that this is a problem that must be remedied by the stidents themselves in the form of some activities involving_the whole community. Mr. Hamner is Vice President of tile Hizleton Penn State Alumni Club, whidth he feels can aISO benefit the community 'and its relations with High- Highacres Collegian, October 18, 1974 - Page Seven While speaking about the community's attitudes toward the campus and the students, Mr. Harner commented that Haz leton was an old-fashioned town, and, "until all the peo ple realize that 'kids' are in dividuals and everyone has to be judged as an individual... until the kids prove it them selves...if the kids could start some kind of activity... communication is lacking." Mr. Earner feels that it is not subject material that makes a course, but the pro fessors. A good professor, stated Mr. Earner, can put him self into a course and the students can get more out of it. A professor who cares only about "weeding out" the best stu sents has no right to be teach ing, in Mr. Harner's opinion. In the past years Mr. Berner has seen colleges grow ing more and more liberal. He cites co-educational dorms as one of the outstanding points of this liberalization. He mentioned hails at Univer sity Park for graduate stu dents which have men and wo men's rooms right next door to each other and operates to tally on.,an honor system. Mr. Berner also mentioned the new appropriations for women's sports at/Penn State, which he feels would not have been pos sible even two years ago. While on the subject of appropriations Mr. Berner stated the following: "I'm not plugging Milton Shapp...but I am really proud of my state this year, because the legie-, tore finally got off its duffs and passed appropriation bills." He mentioned that the University had been operating under a debt for the past few years. Mr. Berner feels that Penn State' University as a whole has a great deal to offet the people of Pennsylvania. "The services Penn State could offer and is willing to offer to the general public is en 'titely without match." He feels that the people should take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that Penn State has to offer it. "I really love Penn State, " Mr. Earner stated in the course of the interview. "There's no place like Penn State."
