settled itself over the Hazleton

warmed up the gym with five home

capture the first annual M. L.

Luzerne Community College and Lack
awanna Jr. College with scores of
85-79 and 82-67 respectively.

It has come to our attention
that during classes, students are
congregating near the elevator
outside C-101 and C-106. This
can be very disturbing to the
professors and the students in
those rooms. It is requested
that students in the halls keep
the noise level to a minimum to
make concentration easier for
those involved.
