calendar was not printed--
was it due to astronomical *
costs, or was it due to the 4 4
fact that is was irrespons

The next set of inter
views involved the winners *
of the contest. I asked
Robert Hagenbuch, Mr. Feb- *
ruary, and Chris Davis, Mr.
April, if they were disap- *
pointed that the calendar
was not printed. Both of
them were disappointed, and *
in the words of Bushman,
"both clubs screwed up!"
Chris and Bushman siad it
was a good idea and that
they would participate in
a contest like this again,
" only if it was not under
the direction of the Ski
Club and WCHB." When I

the quality of the show, he *
said that the organization *
was "excellent", but that

show, with regard to the

the calendar was "hyped up" *
to be more than it really
was.

Hall Council) presid
RHC deals with resid
hall students in
entertainment, movie
and events, plus dea
with residence hall
problems which club
members report. RHC
dances both in the S
Hall lobby and in th
commons, and plays a
large roll in
orientation.
Now that you know a
little about the club,
let's meet it's president
-Smoothie.
As RHC president, what
are your future goals and
ideas to better the
residence halls?
"Well, as club
president n like to see
improvements in both
residence halls, favoring
neither one. For
instance, the North Hall
needs a change machine
and a game room or
recreation center. The
South Hall needs better
washers and dryers. But
basically I'd like to see
more student interaction
between both halls."
Are there any major
programs going to be
started? or any older
ones improved?

"I'd like to see more
lobby dances and continue
more programs like that.
I'd also like to improve
the dating game, mainly
by having it better
publicized in the
beginning of next
semester when everyone
won't know each other.
I'd also like to see
events where students and
teachers could work
together to better
students and teacher
relations. For example,
a faculty breakfast in
the North Hall conference
room or a coffee session
with the faculty in the
dorms instead of the
Hazleton Blue Lounge. I'd
like to work with Mr.
Redden in creating a
study room in the
basement of the North
Hall Basement plus
improve vending machines
in both dorms. I'd also
like to buy a VCR for
North Hall.
But most of all I'd
like to bring a sense of
belonging to the club.
And although it'll be
hard, but I'd like to
create weekend activities
for those without a
football game pass or
mate.
