New Procedures Set Forth
Procedures for electing
Student Standards Board mem
bers have been revised this
year, according to Arthur
Boyce, Residence Hall Coordi
nator. In previous years
the elction process was rather
simple. The persons who want
ed to be on the Board submit
ted their names to the coordina
tor. The coordinator then chose
the people he felt capable, of
being on the board from the names
submitted. The Board mambers re
cieved no special training. As a
consequence the Student Stan
dards Board heard only two cases
last year.
The Student Standards Board
at Hazleton is a seven-member
board. The number of spots open
to new members depends on the
number of vacansies there are
from the previous year.
This year a new procedure
has been established for elec
ting new members. According
to Boyce the present procedure
is as follows:
At the first few floor meet
ings of theyear, anyone wishing
to be on the Board is given a
standardized sheet to fill out.
This sheet contains questions
that help Boyce learn things
about the candidate that may be
heneficial, or clear up any con
flicts in terms of extra-curricular
activities. The sheet contains
questions such as: "Do you see
any weakness in yourself that may
hinder you in your endeavours as
a Student Standards Board member?'
"What is your concept of an ideal
disciplinary system?" What do you
feel your role as a member of the
Student Standards Board will be?"
This sheet is then returned to
Boyce and used for informational
purposes.
The second step involves a
testing-screening session. All
persons who filled out forms ate
tend this session. The session
is set up this way:
The applicants are confronted

conduct violation. The appli
cants are then told to deter
mine such things as what per
son is guilty, what charges
are valid and should be press
ed, and what should be the sub
sequent punishment. The app
licants are then broken into
groups to dicuss their ques
tions. Observing these dis
cussions are the Residence
Hall Assitants and any cur
rent S.S.B. members, who act
as evaluators. Mr. Boyce
supervises the session but has
no official capacity as an e
valuator. The evaluators look
for certain individual quali
ties is the applicant during
their group discussion of the
case. The qualities are de
termined by such questions as:

Ikenberry has a high re
gard for the accomplishments
of the faculty and students at
the Hazleton Campus and said
that Hazleton has a very sound
academic program. "I think the
faculty and students at High
acres ought to be very proud,"
said Ikenberry.
Ikenberry was in Hazleton
to speak at a dinner held by the
Penn State Alumni Club of Great

Motor Lodge.
Also speaking at the dinner
was Mr. Robert Goerder, the
Field Director of the Alumni As
sociation of Penn State.
