The Highaetes Collegian Escort policy to be evaluated., The escort system currently in effect for the Residence Hall reportedly may be rescinded if hall officials feel that residents are able to keep violations of the visitation and escort policies to a minimum. Under the present system, a resident, when on the opposite side of the hall (i.e. men on the women's side and vice versa), must be escorted to and from his or her destination by another resident student of the opposite sex. Further, students may only be on the other side of the dorm between the hors of 12:15 p.m. and 12:15 a.m. on weekdays. These hours also ap ply to non-resident students visiting in the hall, who must sign in at the office and be escorted to their destination. It is the first part of this polity that has raised complaints from hall residents. "The system could be dropped tomorrow if the people here prove to me they can handle The system is a university policy in effect for all residence halls. Primarily, it is a security measure to protect residents from physical attack and to keep out trespassers. However, to what degree the policy is enforc ed is largely up to the individual Residence Hall co-ordinators. Cy Falatko, Hazleton's Residence Hall Coordinator said that how long the policy remains in effect is dependent on how A Stitch In Time-. Hazleton's only SINGER Dealer Fabrics and Notions Machines Starting at $99.00 Rt. 93 Valley Plaza Sugarloaf, PA 18219 788-4911 residents react to the visitation policy system. "The system could be dropped tomorrow if the people here prove to me that they can handle it (the system) well enough," said Falatko. Last year's policy required only that male residents have an escort when on the women's side of the hall. That policy, though, was reportedly not strictly en forced after Christmas break and was officially dropped at the beginning of Spring Term. Non resident students still had to sign in at the office when entering and leaving the building. Falatko also noted that as of Oc tober 1, six male residents had been charged with escort viola tions while no female residents had had similar charges brought against them. He said that once the system is dropped, it could be reinstated at any time, if necessi ty is documented. The require ment for non-resident students to have escorts will remain in any case according to the coor dinator. Scholarships now available for NET students by Tony Leshinskie A new financial aid source has been instituted for University students working toward a two-year degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology. Under this new program, eligible students could receive a $l5OO or more per year scholarship and/or summer employment from one of four utility companies cooperating with the Nuclear Engineering Department. The program, entitled "Nuclear Engineering Technology—An Energy Occupation in Demand," is co-sponsored by Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L), Philadelphia Electric (PE), General Public Utilities (GPE), and Duquense Light. The utility companies have guaranteed at least fourteen scholarships. But according to Hazleton Campus' Dr. David Matchick, PE has contributed money for twenty additional scholarships, while PP&L has also contributed for an undisclosed number of scholarships. "This year's scholarships," said Dr. Matchick, "should have already been awarded, but I don't know that for sure. You would have to contact the Nuclear Engineering Department to see if any are still available." Students interested in the Nra program may begin their educa tion at one of seventeen Commonwealth Campus locations (Behrend College and Capitol Campus are excluded). The fourth and fifth terms are offered only at Hazleton and Altoona Campuses, with the sixth term offered only at University Park. Additional information concerning scholarships and summer employment is available from Dr. Matchick and the Financial Aid Office.

High school seniors apply for entrance into the associate degree program in October or November before their graduation. Of all the applicants, twelve are selected to begin an orientation program during the summer prior to their freshman year. The first three terms are spent taking courses in Chemistry, Physiology, and Anatomy. The sophomore year includes work study at either St. Joseph's Hospital in Hazleton, or at Berwick Hospital. At the hospital sessions, students attend lectures, observe and are tested on application of techniques to practical situations. Students evaluated as satisfactory at the completion of the sixth term are cer tified aslab technicians. "I'm seriously thinking about go ing into some aspect of aviation," she said, "possibly helicopters." Training began for Yvonne on June 1 and it was not completed until September 11, when she returned to her home and to school. She went through Military Police School, and took part in all of the tactical training offered. ~w3''t i 's ` "The military isn't for everybody," emphasized Yvonne. "It takes a lot of stamina and endurance; and, teamwork is essential." t J To illustrate her point, she ex plains some of the requirements for the passing physical fitness test: "Women must do 40 push ups in two minutes; 61 sit-ups in two minutes; and, complete a two-mile run in 17 minutes 10 seconds or less." "What an exciting summer I've had!" said Yvonne. "My hard work really paid off, and I feel I got a lot out of the program." unlike Clive, takes everything seriously. The play is directed by Dr. Carl Frankel, who stated, "I chose to do I am a Camera partially for technical reasons (small cast size and set, no elaborate production requirements, etc.) but mainly because . I love the play. The dialogue is witty and clever but sounds real. Feelings are con veyed with a minimum of words. The characters are all flawed human beings but the author treats them with warmth and understanding. The situations they get into and try to get out of make me think of some of our own not-always-successful at tempts to cope. The ending is bit tersweet and very moving. It reminds us that life and love don't usually work out according to plan but that the game is worth playing, if only for the adventure. I think that anyone who is or ever was in love, or searching for pur pose in their lives, or looking for escape, should enjoy the play." November 1981-5
