Penn State coordinates Super Walk
Sunday, April 20, was a red
letter day for nearly 1,000
Hazleton area residents who
walked to help prevent birth
defects. The 10th annual March of
Dimes Super Walk, which
covered a distance of approx
imately 30 kilometers, started
and ended at the Hazleton Area
High School Stadium. A day-long
event, the Walk-a-thon began
bright and early at 8 am, and the
last walker crossed the finish line
in late afternoon.
Walkers of all ages par
ticipated. However, the majority
was junior and senior high school
students. For Hazleton young
people, this annual event has
become a tradition. Each year
they get out their most com
fortable shoes, put on their walk
ing clothes and deck out in school
insignia to demonstrate their sup
port for the March of Dimes.
Monies raised from pledges to
the Superwalk will benefit pro
grams directed at America's ma
jor child health problem. Birth

quarter-million infants every
year. In addition to research
directed at uncovering the causes
and prevention of these physical
and mental handicaps, Super

Collegian bids farewell
The Highacres Collegian, after
this issue, will be stopping
publication until next fall. We
would like to take this opportuni
ty to thank several people who
have made this year such a suc
cessful one.
We would like to thank our staff
writers, who consistently provid
ed us with news articles: Jane
Bolish, Finn Petersen, Lori
Kunkel, and Lisa Ragazzi. We
would like to thank the members
of the Highacres Collegian
Editorial Board, who wrote ar
ticles and helped put everything
together: Nora Reichard, Ed

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Paying $lO.OO to park on cam
pus is truly outrageous. The
segregation of freshman and
sophomore parking is high
schoolish. Even the security of
ficers tend to be a little ticket
happy 'at times, but there is
nothing quite so disturbing to a
Highacres student as discovering
that the campus bookstore is pre
judice toward cashew nuts. It's
true. Our very own bookstore,
which ostensibly carries
everything from pocket combs to
pretzel sticks, does not stock
cashews. They have salted
peanuts, peanut bars, and mixed
nuts, which boast cashews on the
label. I challenge you to find
them.
First it was blaeks, then
women, then black women, and
even the American Indian, but,
Nighaoros Oratory
Contest?
Will there be an oratory contest
for Highacres students this year?
Unfortunately, no one can yet
answer this question.
For twenty-one consecutive
years, Highacres has sponsored
an oratory contest for campus
students. The annual spring
event featured the speaking
talents of many dedicated, in
terested students. Last year par
ticipants in the contest dwindled
to a mere handful. Consequently,
there are no plans to hold an
oratory contest this year.
Dr. Price has indicated,
however, that if student interest
is rekindled a contest can be held
this spring. Early May has been
suggested as an approximate
time. Interest, however, must be
shown or no contest plans will be
made.
An oratory contest consists of
speaking in the categories of
poetry, drama, and short stories.
Each contestant speaks for six to
ten mniutes to a panel of Judges.
These Judges are a group of im
partial listeners from the com
munity, knowledgable in the
speaking fields. The top three
contestants in each category are
recognized.
The future of the Highacres
Reading Festival lies in the
hands of the student body here at
Highacres. If you want an
oratory contest don't be afraid to
speak up and show your interest.
Williams, Carol Meiser, and Bill
Sheman., We would also like to
thank Bob Nagle and the
Photography Club who provided
us with all of our photographs,
and Dr. Michael Santulli, who
provided us with invaluable
assistance.
Finally we would like to thank
the campus Administration,
Faculty, and Staff, and any cam
pus organizations for their aid in
gathering information; our
advertisers—without them there
could be no Highacres Collegian;
all the wonderful people at Milton
Standard, who showed a group of
rookies how to lay-out a
now it's cashews. Is there no
justice? I think the students at
Highacres campus deserve an ex
planation.
Yours truly,
Nupert U. Twit
Dear Mr. Twit,
It is obvious from your letter
that you are quite fond of
cashews. Even though there may
be some truth in your statements
about the parking situation and
the security officers, I cannot
understand your anger over the
absence of cashews in the
bookstore. Don't you think there
are enough "nuts" on campus
already?

Whatever happened to Earth

not from lack of the shoe's
