—The Highacres Collegian Clubs and Activities SGA plans activities The Student Government Association at Highacres has been busy preparing for this school term since last May. The members worked all through the summer organizing and settling matters concerning Freshman Orientation. This year's SGA got off to an excellent start with a very successful Freshman Orien tation Week. The ALL-U-DAY game this year is the Miami vs. Penn State game on November 1, 1980. There will be a dance, concerts, and a banner contest between the Com monwealth Campuses. The weekend always proves to be an exciting time for everyone. So plan to attend these events. Also, SGA is holding a poster sale and two candy sales during the coming year. The poster sale will be held during the end of the fall term and the beginning of the winter term. There is a wide variety of posters to choose from, ROTC cadets begin training Members of the Hazleton Cam pus Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) are once again hearing those familiar commands of "Attention!" "Left face," and "Present Arms." Training has now begun for the 52 returning sophomore cadets and the 98 new freshman cadets. Major Hicks, who is in charge of the group, said that this year's class "looks good." Major Hicks also told the freshmen, "On the drill field you look a whole lot bet ter than last year's group did at this time." The ROTC program has been fairly successful at Hazleton for the past four years. Sergeant Bankus . boasts proudly, "Last year Penn State had more cadets accepted by the army for scholar ships than any other ROTC unit. That makes us the best of over 250 other units." The program is set up to give students an op portunity to "try on" the army for up to two years without incur ring any commitment to the ar my. During this time the cadets earn one credit per term in various courses which the army Dr. Joseph S. Pelly so no matter what type of poster you like, SGA will be sail% it. Next, are the candy sales: SGA has decided to reinstate their candy sales, due to the well received response last year. Check the bulletin boards on campus for Thrther details if you are interested. OTIS, Organization of Town In dependent Students, and the Committee of Public Interest sponsored a get together between the dorm and town students. The activity's purpose was to get a few dorm students to spend some time with a few town students. Students signed up for the activi ty during the week of September 22, 1980, and then during the first week of October the list was posted with the various assignments. The SGA will be holding its elec tions on Wednesday, October 8, 1980. There will be seven freshman senators and two teaches. The students also receive instruction in field train ing and military discipline. While the rumors that the Hazleton ROTC unit is planning to launch a sneak attack against the ROTC unit at Schuylkill Haven are totally unfounded, the group has planned some - in teresting programs. They plan to test-fire the army's M-16 automatic rifles in October and they are planning weekend trips to Fort Indiantown Gap and Fort Dix in New Jersey. Besides being involved in ROTC classes and drill work, all cadets have the opportunity of joining one or more special ROTC clubs. There are three of these special clubs: rifle team, a precision drill team, and a rangers club. The ri fle team is new this year and if all goes as is planned, our team will be competing against teams from other colleges. The drill team learns such things as precision demonstrations using the rifle and sabre. Sgt. Bankus speaks proudly of the drill team, saying, "Sophomore Kathy Stone, the group's leader, is the best I've WE HAVE THE WINNERS PEGGED!

The rangers go on trips ranging from rock and mountain climbing to camping in freezing weather. The club is totally outdoor oriented and they go on many weekend trips. This year's ROTC group looks pretty sharp and they plan to have a very active program. The army's goal is to produce new and better prepared officers through the ROTC program and they should be pleased with the cadets from Hazleton. Their spirits are high and we look to see some interesting reports from the group in months to come.
