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."
