Did you know that SGA
is the governing body at
the Hazleton Campus? Did
you know that all issues
concerning the students
on the Hazleton Campus
are addressed through SGA?
Well, this is what SGA is
all about!!
SGA's purpose, as stated
in our constitution con
sists of several elements.
SGA represents all stud
ents in every facet of
student life. Emotionally,
socially, and academic
ally, we serve the stud
ents in order to enhance
student life at the
Hazleton Campus.
Although SGA is not
required to hold social
activities such as dances,
we do sponsor some events
that focus on the social
needs of the student body.
Somw activities scheduled
for the Fall semester
include a hypnotist, Dr.
Jim Wand, on Nov. 2nd a t
7:30p.m. in the gym, the
Bachelcr/Bachelorette
Auction on Oct. 23 at
9:00 p.m. in the Commons
(proceeds to benefit the
family of a Penn State
alumni), and the winter
Semi-Formal "The Big
Chill" on Dec. I st at
Zola's Catering Service
in Hazleton.
Many of SGA's issues
relate to both the
academic and emotional
aspects of student life.
These issues cover a
wide variety of topics.
They range from campus
security improvement,
increasing faculty in
volvement, and the
Cultural Diversity Plan
all the way to the
campus parking problem
and the present smoking
policy.
SGA's core body is
composed of four officers,
ten senators, and four
ex-officio members.
The advisors of SGA are
pres
saps
Cy Falatko and Dean
M Callus. The president
of SGA is Keri Greene,
the Vice President is
Kathy Ryan, the Treasurer
is Frank Aiello, and
the Secretary is Ann
Marie Downs. The head
of the senate is Michael
Gladnick, followed by
four sophomores and five
freshmen.
SGA, in the past, has
held their meetings in
the Commons Lower Level
Conference Room. But
because of this year's
high enrollment of en
thusiastic freshmen,
SGA's meetings are now
held in the Common's
TV Room from 12:30 p.m.
to 1:00 p.m. EVERY THURS
DAY.
As you can see, the
Student Government
Association is probably
the most prosperous and
profitable club on the
Hazleton Campus. We are
the liason between the
students, faculty, staff
and administration. SGA
is sometimes referred
to as the "UMBRELLA CLUB"
because we "cover
over or control every
club's money and
existance.
For those of you who
were involved in Student
Council during high
school, then SGA is for
you!! For those of you
who were not active in
high school, make SGA be
for you! Even if you are
not interested in becoming
a member, just come to a
meeting and observe what
goes on.
If you have the SLIGHT_
EST INTEREST in knowing
what is happening to you
and your campus, then do
not sit back and watch.
GET INVOLVED, and take
charge of what is
happening to your campus.
Become a part of SGA,
"WE"RE THE GOVERNMENT!!"

ROTC
Although Penn State
Hazleton ROTC may not have
as many cadets as. some
schools, we have a quality
program. This semester
we have many activities
which enrich the normal
curriculum and provide
the cadets with a oppor
tunity to have fun while
learning something.
On Saturday 2 Sept, the
Air National Guard flew
a Sikorsky Skycrane into
the campus and took cadets
up for an orientation
around the Hazleton area.
The sophomores and some
freshmen took a trip to
Gettysburg on Saturday 23
Sept, as part of the
syllabus for the sopho
more's Army 203 class.
Major Arthur provided an
ecplanation of the events
which occured on that
historic battlefield and
shaped the course of the
Civil War.
The Rangers have
traditionally been the
most active club in the
company and we have
several activities plann
ed. On 29 Sept, the
Rangers along with some
other members of the
company will travel to
Nescopeck for an over
night Field Training
Exercise (FTE). We will
be supplied with M-16's
loaded with blanks and
will work on small unit
tactics in the woods.
We will conduct a rapell
ing trip on 7 Oct. and
act as aggressors for the
National Guard unit in
Hometown in early Nov.
