Alpha Phi Omega has been active
providing services to the community.
This year we had two major service
projects, one was the Halloween
collection for UNICEF which
encompassed the West Hazleton and
Conyngham area. The Halloween
collection was a large success, raising
approximately $l5O which was above
our goal. The second major service
project we had was the March of
Dimes Walk-A-Thon which Was held
on April 29th, I atn proudto boast that
oty: .organization, Alpha Phi Omega
wis *tbe rafty chitPbh cahifms that 100
percent of our members participated in
as workers to run the walk, which is
expected to raise $7,000 for the March
Sincerely.
Marc A. Rovita
Even though our Frat is a service
organization, this year we did mix in a
little socializing. The beginning of the
year was interesting with a trip to
Bloomsburg to the fair, where many
students were enthused with the
exhibits available.
Our Frat started out this year with
approximately two brothers and will
end up with nine brothers the brothers
are: Keller Taylor, Jou Zuk, John
Shedleski, Kevin Phillips, Rob Tacker,
Jeff Carson, Steve Kadar and Larry
Mancipi. Next year; three members,
will be returning/ Larry Mancini will j
be president, Jeff Carson vice
president and Rob will be here Fall

Another chapter in the continuing
saga of the Circle K Club has come to a
close. As outgoing president I would
like to openly comment on the
progress that the Circle K Club has
made in the past year. Our projects
this year were directed to both the
campus and the community; we have
helped to prove to the city of Hazleton
that the Penn State Hazleton Campus
is an intergral part of the community.
This year was a very successful one
for Circle K. For those of you who do
not remember what we have done,
allow me to refresh your memory. At
least once each month we have visited
the shut-ins at the Lutheran Home in
downtown Hazleton. At Christmas we
manned a bell at the Laurel Mall for
the Salvation Army. Eighteen Circle
K’ers and the Nittany Lion rang a bell
for nine hours to help bring some
Christmas cheer to people who would
have otherwise Tiave had none.
February saw a first at the campus, a
bowl-a-thon. Through Project Strike
Out Arthritis, Circle K raised over
$2OOO for the Arthritis Foundation.
This year, as in the past, we again sold
daffodils for the American Cancer
Society. On April 21, the Highacres
Circle K club assisted in the construc
tion of a nature physical fittness trail at
Moon Lake Park. To top off the year,
we assisted with the Highacres Inter
national Fencing Exhibition, another
first for the Hazleton Campus.
I would like to thank my fellow
officers and all the members of the
Circle K Club for all the help they have
given me this year. Circle K is a people
club, and without them none of our
projects would have gotten off the
ground. I also want to say thanks to
our club advisor, Mr. Boyle, Mr.
Skimbo, and Mr. Biacchi; their
experience and foresight are one of
Circle K's greatest assets. Help came
to us this year from outside of our
organization too. Each time Circle K
made a trip to the Lutheran Home, the
staff at the Administration Building
saw that we had some goodies to take
with us. We did not solicit their help;
they came to us and offered it. 1 could
go on forever; this list could fill a book.
The Circle K story is like a good
book, each chapter is better than the
last. The next chapter introduces two
new characters, President Roberta
id S Cindi Fagan.
Dimes.
Circle K
Hello! My name is Roberta Bronson
and 1 am the new president of Circle
Circle K is a service organization
that accepts members from all majors.
Several activities that I desire to
continue in my year as president are
the Bowl-A-Thon, the monthly visits to
the nursing homes in the area, the
interclubing, where other Circle K
clubs from other campuses get to
gether, and supporting the Kwanis
Club in their activities.
1 hope to have the support of the
people that are coming back to
Highacres next year in the club's
activities. I wish everyone a nice
summer vacation.

RHC
Before I get to the meat of today’s
column, I’d like to use this space in the
Highacres Collegian to publicly thank
all of the people who made this year’s
RHC ROAD RALLY a success.
Although not perfect, the 1979 RHC
Road Rally was enjoyed by all of those
who participated. Even though we
would have liked to have everyone who
entered to have won, there could only
be one winning pair. The winners of
the Road Rally were Don Green and
Dave Erb, followed by George
Kahlbough and Leslie Nothstien in
second place, with Jim Goodin and
Lisa Tornock in third place, the rest of
the field finished with scores that were
huddled together in a tight pack (less
than 200. points separated fourth place
and tenth place).
Aside from the Road Rally, April
was a very busy month for the
Residence Hall Council; RHC also held
its elections for the 1979-1980 officers.
The winners of this election were Paul
Huffman, president; Dave Erb, vice
president; C.J. Staudenmiere,
treasurer, and Megan Kresge,
secretary. I’d like to take this time to
congratulate these people and to wish
them luck for next year.
Before I say farewell to RHC and
Highacres, I’d like to thank all of the
people who made this year enjoyable
for myself and RHC. First, I’d like to
thank my council, without these people
RHC would be a name, and not a
living, breathing, entity at Highacres.
Next I’d like to thank the Highacres
Club Advisory Council for providing
communications between RHC and all
of the other clubs on campus. I’d also
like to thank our advisor Mr. Thomas
Shee for his knowledge and guidance
that he supplied throughout the year.
Last, but definitely not least. I’d like to
thank you, the students of Highacres
who gave the Residence Hall Council a
purpose.
Looking back at this school year, I
noticed that RHC has made great
strides to become a campus oriented
organization and not just a "dorm
club.” I hope that next year’s RHC will
pick up this ball and run with it.
Thank you.
Bill Snyder, President
Residence Hall Council
