Fellow Students,
Administration.
Being that this is the first
Collegian printed during Spring
term I hope that everyone had an
enjoyable term break, and that the
beginning of Spring term finds
everyone in good health.
The Awards Banquet planning is
in the process of being finished up.
The final details are at the stage of
being completed. The price of
tickets this year will be $6.75. For
those who don’t know what the
Awards Banquet is, I will give you a
brief description: Students, Faculty
and Administration come to present
and receive awards ranging from
THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR, to
individual club awards. There will
be a dinner served, and after the
dinner, there will be the presenta
tion of the awards and then a band
will perform for everyone’s enjoy
ment.
The SGA has decided to get signs
placed on 1-80 and 80, directing
people to the Hazleton Campus.
There is a bit of confusion for those
don’t knowwhere the campus
is located, feel that these
signs will be an immense help: 1
The SOA Elections are coming up
for the positions of President and
Vice-President on the 11th of April,
and the election of Senators will be
on the 18th of April. ALL students
on campus are eligible to run. To
have your name placed on a ballot,
get a petition of 25 names of any
students on campus and give it to an
SGA member and state what
position you will be campaigning
for.
This past December, Mr. William
Schneider, the Assistant Director,
resigned. Over term break, Doctor
David, with the advice of the Search
'Committee for the Associate
Director' of Academic Affairs,
faculty and administration input,
and a confirmation from University
Park, appointed Dr. James
Staudenmier to the position of
Associate Director of Academic
Affairs. At this time the SGA would
like to congratulate Dr. Stauden
miere and wish him good luck at his
new position.
We are still working on getting
the library hours extended for your
student use.
The OTIS (Organization of Town,
Independent Students) housing list
came in. You can pick up one in
front the SGA Conference Room on
the Commons. That’s about all of
the news that I have for you at this
time. 1 lyould like to repeat, if
anyone would like to run or even
learn more about SGA make a
petition, or talk to any member. I
wish you all the best of luck during
this Spring term.
Respectfully yours,
Marc A. Rovito

Bowl-A-Thon
The week of February 4th to 10th
was nationally designated as Circle
K Week. The Circle K Club on our
Campus, officially kicked off the
week with a small reception held in
the Harlam Lounge inside the Main
Building. At that time, the Campus
Director, Dr. William David signed
an official proclamation com
memorating that week. The club
had scheduled many activities for
that week, one of which was
attending a luncheon of the Kiwanis
Club at Stan Genettis in Hazleton.
The Circle K Club is sponsored by
the Kiwanis. Club representatives
who attended the luncheon in
cluded: John Pollack, Mary Pat
Cowan, Carol Becker, Marianne
Pindar, Kevin, and Mr.
Joseph Boyle, club advisor. Mid
week was spot-lighted by a Pizza &
Coke Luncheon held in the
Commons for all club members. Our
surprise guest for lunch was Dr.
David, Campus Director. A Club
meeting followed. The highlight of
the week came on Friday and
Saturday nights. Those were the
days for our Bowl-A-Thon which
benefited the Arthritis Foundation.
This was the club project for the
year. Many hours of planning and
preparation went into the tourna
ment, of which I am happy to report
was a huge success.
On February 18th, an awards
presentation was held in the Harlam
Lounge. Trophies were presented to
the Bowl-A-Thon winners. There
were six categories for awards.

the most money raised, Nelda

Outings Club will be having trips

backpacking trips, and overnight
camping trips. We also plan to have
canoeing trips, to go to lectures, or
Marianne Pindar
to do any other type of activity that
we get enough interest in;
Participation of all students,
whether members already or not, in
all of our activities is encouraged.
