SGA Marc Rovito Dear' Highacres Student, I am Marc Rovito, President of your Student Government Association (SGA) for the 1978-1979 school year. Each day, I am asked by many people what the SGA is all about. So, for my first newsletter I would like to give you a short summary. The SGA is composed of myself; Vice president, Kim Parsons; Secretary, JoAnne Polzella; Treasurer, Claude Parnell; and a host of sophomore and freshman Senators. It has two main functions. One is to allocate the money it received from University Park to the variety of clubs and organizations of our own campus. The other is that SGA is the governing body on campus. Anything you would like to see accomplished on campus, should therefore be brought to the at tention of your Student Government Association. This can be done by attending the meetings, which are open to all, and all are welcome. One of the first activities SGA has un dertaken is to obtain tickets from University Park for “All U Day” which will be held September 30th this year. During the fifth week of this term, the SGA will be holding elections for senatorial positions. There are two positions open for sophomore senators and five position openings for freshman senators. If you are interested in running for one of these seven positions and need or want more information on the duties of an SGA senator, contact myself or any one of the SGA senators. There is one last remark I would like to add, and it is the most important: the SGA is yours to use, use it to its fullest. Talk to myself, the other officers, or your student senators: Gerry Nork, Kenny Dudeck, A 1 Cwalina, Rob Blyler, Robin Troyanoski, Robyn Kuchera, Jim Lyman, Matt Marcinek, Tom Reed, and Will Donner. Respectfully yours, Marc Rovito, SGA president Pal Joey Sporting Goods J 1 ° Laurel Hall A 11/ HAZLETON 1 U O STUDENT DISCOUNT SPORTING GOODS mmm tt°mt " oiwKimi PHONE 454-7?56 FOOLS by Doug Wright Dean of FOOLS Last year was not a very active year for the FOOLs for different reasons. This year we would like to change that, and have more than two or three activities planned to excite you. We’ve discussed a few possibilities at our first meeting, but as yet we have nothing concrete. There will be signs around campus advertising our next meeting and everyone is welcome to come and make FOOLs of themselves. So, if you’re tired of seeing the same events at Highacres sit in on our next meeting and give us your FOOLish ideas! CHEER LEADING by Robin Kuchera This year’s cheer leading tryouts will prove to be very competitive. Twenty freshman girls will vie for the eight positions open on the squad. Tryouts will be held October 11 in the gym at 6:30 p.m. The girls will be judged in four areas on a total of 100 possible points. The areas are execution of cheers and routines 50 points, poise and appearance 20 points, pep 20 points, and creativity of individual cheer 20 points. The girls are under the direction of Robyn Kuchera, Marla Kleckner, and Rose. Skrabak. Mrs. Debbie Caccese is the head coach. Bible Study By Terri Wielgorz The Bible Study Club is a group of students and professors interested in learning God’s word and how it pertains to our own lives. It is a group of people that want to be together for Christian Fellowship in order to advance the Kingdom of God. Anyone is invited to attend meetings so please come if you are interested. There will be signs to let you know when and where the meetings will be held. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Those who boast they have never made a mistake have never tried anything new. Radio dab by Kenny Dudeck I am Kenny Dudeck, the President of the Hazleton Campus radio station, WHCB. This station broadcasts on 1580 KHZ, which is hardly known to sophomores and non-existent to the freshman. Problems have plagued the station in the past years, but this year with the help of the SGA and many interested club members, the radio station should be a huge success. We broadcast at approximately 8.5 wattscarrier current. This low power, which only allows reception in the near vicinity of the campus, allows us much flexibility with the rules and regulations of the F.C.C. Also, we are going to be carried in the Commons and the dining hall by way of direct phone lines to both of those buildings. Our program consists entirely of music, with the only news being the Highacres Happenings. This will consist of an nouncements that pertain to both the academic and non-academic events oc curring on the campus. The music we will play will consist of 50 percent top 40 and 50 percent to the D.J.’s liking. We hope you will enjoy our service to you because remember, WHCB is your radio station. Circle K by Mary Pat Cowan Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Hazleton, the Circle K Club conducts activities projects that service National Health projects, the community of Hazleton, and our campus. The club offers an excellent opportunity to go places and meet new people. Although Circle K is entitled as a Business and Economics Club, the membership is open to any interested and ambitious student. So come on out and have a good time, it’s going to be a great year! bv Tom Reed portion plans social gatherings and a few The service Fraternity had its first trips to wUna ptacea.
