Elections, elections, elec tions !!! One would think that Spring term is all elections. But they are all for a good cuase — they choose future cam pus leaders and honor students and faculty. I must commend my fellow Highacres students. In the last election we had a larger voter turnout than in any elec tion in recent years. That's enthusiasm and interest and that is what gives Student Go vernment and clubs strength. Larger turnouts enable clubs, S.G.A. in particular, to get things done when they need to be done for the students. I might add that the same holds true when we look at the number of candidates running in the elections. This year, so far, the number of candi dates has been overwhelming. I only regret that all could not win. To those who lost, I send out my personal invitation to remain active in S.G.A. and/or student activities — to run for office again.

To you I wish luck and success next year during your administration. Another election coming up is one of extreme importance to all branch campus students. This is one for undergraduate student positions on the Univer sity Faculty Senate. Unfortu nately, no one from our campus is running but we still get to vote on who represents the bran ch campus students at University Park. Each candidate has sup plied a short history of his or herself to help you make this decision and these will be on display at the polls. Please vote and vot intelligently in this important election. You know, I really enjoy Spring term, because as every one knows Spring has sprung The grass is green Now's the time More body is seen. The Highacres Collegian, April 29, 197 Machines Take Over H ighacres By PATRICIA MARSH Collegian Editorial Writer There are monsters loose on the Hazleton campus!! No, not Godzilla, King Kong, or even Bigfoot, I mean THE MACH INES. These technological monsters are stationed at var ious locations throughout the campus with the sole purpose of destroying the dignity of human beings. This is done by creating a variety of frustrat ing situations for humans to deal with when they foolishly attempt to use one of these de mons, until the human can no longer cope. These devils will do just about anything for money—in cluding ripping one's arm off. The worst perpetrators of such deed as finger-smashing are the machines that have spring-shut doors. Before attempting to use this variety of machine, one would do well to take a course in lion-taming and a black belt in karate would be handy. The directions for us ing one of these beasts read rather simply; insert money, open door, and pull out desired item. However, one is never told that the doors are bob by-trapped with super-tight springs. It takes two hands to open one of these doors and the average human just is not fast enough to get one of his hands inside to pull out the item before the door snaps back on his fingers. . If you must live dangerously or if these are the only type machine around, be sure to count fingers before and after using there may be something missing— like a finger of two. These terrors are best tackled with change and chair in hand. Inserting a chair leg into the yawning jaws of these beasts has saved many a finger. Another interesting thing about these beasts is the math programming they recieve. When using one of "these mach ines be prepared to face the fact that all your elementary mathematics teachers were wrong and 15 does eaual 25 Tc =n Continued on Pa^e
