Faculty And
Staff Sponsor
Child For 78
Anderson Lee
By LESA BAGLEY
Collegian Staff Writer
The faculty and staff members of the
Hazleton Campus have contributed to
sponsor a foreign child in cooperation with
the “Save the Children Federation.” (SCF
finds sponsors for underprivileged
children in fifteen countries.) This was an
alternative to the exchange of Christmas
cards. The faculty was polled as to what
country they would like the child from. The
results were that most members wanted
an American Indian child.
TheS.C.F.has assigned Anderson Lee, a
Navajo Indian, to the Hazleton campus of
Penn State. Anderson Lee is fourteen
years of age and is in the seventh grade.
Anderson is attending a public school and
lists basketball, football, and horseback
ridingas his interests. Both of Anderson’s
' parents are unemployed and his father is
unable to work because of health reasons.
Anderson’s family consists of four
brothers and two sisters. The family does
have electricity, but water must be carried
in from the Red Rock Chapter House near
his home.
The sponsorship payment of $192 is being
used in the following manner: 78.1 percent
of the $192 a year goes to the child and the
community, $9O cash grants to child and
community, $34.31 for Field Service to the
child and community, $25.64 for child and
community program support at the S.C.F.
West Port office, $15.90 for management
and general administration at the West
Port office and $26.15 for public in
formation and fund raising, annual reports
etc.
Anyone attending the Hazleton campus
can write to Anderson Lee.
The SCF has come up with helpful
suggestions in corresponding with the
child. When writing to the child, it is
suggested using the sponsorship
number 09 45 38775. Packages should be
sent parcel post and insured with return
receipt requested. Personal checks must
be sent to Connecticut or Albuquerque and
made payable to S.C.F. The S.C.F. then
will send the amount of the check to the
child. Clothing sizes are difficult to obtain
so it is easier to send a cash gift or
material.
Visits with the child are permitted but
arrangements should be made well in
advance. The child can also visit the
campus.
Letters may be sent to: Anderson Lee,
P.O. Box 907, Carson Trading Post,
Gallup, N.M. 87301 or Anderson Lee, c-o
Alfred Nez, P.O. Box 1530, Gallup, N.M.
87301.
A periodical report from the S.C.F. will
be sent with information about the child
and his community.
It is possible for the clubs or other
organizations on campus to take interest in
this program. More than one child can be
sponsored by the campus.
Student Union
Board: Activities
On The Move
By WILLARD DONNER
‘ Club News Editor
When certain activities are going on
around the campus, they are usually
sponsored by the Student Union Board.
S.U.B.’s main interest is “things to do.” A
Black Friday dance which was made white
by the snow had to be cancelled but is
rescheduled for some time in March.
On January 19 an Open-Mike Coffee
House was held in the Commons and
despite the inclimate weather, there was a
good turnout. On the week of February 1 to
8 a newly released movie, “Monty Python
Meets Beyond the Fringe,” will be shown
on campus. There will be afternoon and
evening showings so that everyone has a
chance to see the film.
Also on Friday, February 4, S.U.B. will
be sponsoring a “Movie Orgy” including
movies like “Dirty Harry,” a great
science fiction movie by the producer of
Star Wars, plus, of course a Three Stooges
Follies amongst many other greats. Times
and prices for these activities will be
posted.
S.U.B. attempts to get activities
together that everyone on campus can
have fun doing. What can be more fun than
collecting beer can tabs? Our campus is
going to try to break the record for the
longest beer tab chain. Just think not only
will our campus name be in “The Guiness
Book of World Records,” but we just might
get known as the number one school in one
of the greatest sports known to the United
States; beer drinking. So next time you
have a party, buy your beer in cans and do
yourself and your campus a great favor.

Help Needed
To Break Record
The Student Union Board is sponsoring a
“Break-the-Guiness-Book-World-Record”
contest. The Board is trying to unite all
students to break the record for longest
chain of pull tabs. In order to accomplish
this goal, 35,000 tabs from beer, soda, and
juice cans are needed. Students are asked
to save the tabs from their cans and
deposit them in collection boxes located in
the Commons and in the dorm lobby. A
donation of 40 tabs from each Highacres
student would make this record-breaking
event possible. And it’s not a big sacrifice
to save the tabs from your next party to
put Hazleburg in the Guiness Book of
Records. Assembly of the chain is planned
for Spring Week during April. Help get
Hazleburg reorganized!

What's Happening
Residence
Hall Council
Plans Events
The Residence Hall Council has a few
things in store for the near future.
Included among them are a pinball
tournament, discos, a movie night and a
swimming party.
The Residence Hall Council has seen
some very impressive discos held in the
recreation room of the dorm and plans are
being made to keep the turntables spinning
as long as the crowds are there.
The RHC is looking into acquiring an
official name for the dorm. The fund
raising committee has three money
raising activities standing by. They may
soon be put into effect because of the fact
that two of R.H.C.’s three “Home Box
Office” units were stolen. They are valued
at $BO each and had to be paid for by the
R.H.C. A reward was offered for their
return but no feedback was received.
The possibility of getting a light on
Agony Hill was looked into. The idea was
taken to SGA who in turn took it to Mr.
Cerula. The idea was rejected due to lack
of money and university red tape.
The hyponosis lecture in the dorm lobby
on Thursday, Januray 12 was a huge
success. R.H.C. would like to thank the
cultural committee, Everitt Binns and
Scott Reedy.
