KERI 1 S CORNER
When the newly elect
ed Student Government
officers for the 1989-90
academic year accepted
their positions, we set
many goals for the Hazle
ton Campus. Somw of
these goals include the
parking situation, faculty
and staff involvment, and
the Commons expansion.
The parking situation
has been addressed head on
with a survey to all of
the Residence Hall stud
ents in order to determine
the frequency of on Campus
students who drive to
class. Suzanne Hilyard
and John Costa initiated
the survey and will be
meeting with Mr. Karl
Krone, the Director of
Business Services, in the
near future.
Trying to increase fac
ulty and staff involvement
is also a challenge. It
entails the work of Brian
Suwalski and Missy Purta,
the Faculty and Staff Re
lations Senators. They
have written letters and
memos to the faculty and
staff to try to increase
their interest, support,
and involvement with the
Student Government and the
entire Student Body.
The Commons expansion is
our most important on go
ing issue at present time.
The Student Government
officers , Keri Greene,
Kathy Ryan, and several
other members of the
Student Government Assoc
iation, have set up a
"game plan" for the most
efficient way to begin
plans for our soon to be
expanded Commons.
During the last month of
this semester, the Student
Government Association's
event calendar is packed
with fun filled events for
the entire student body.
On November 2nd, Master
Hypnotist, Dr. Jim Wand
will be hypnotising
approximately 40 students
in the gym at 7:30 p.m.
This event is open to the
community as well as the
Penn State Students.
November 15th, caticatures
will be drawn of students
in the Commons from 12
noon until 4:00 p.m. The
last big event for the
semester will be the ann
ual Winter Semi-Formal,
"The Big Chill", sponsored
by the Student Government
Association. This event
will take plave on Decem
ber Ist at 8:00 p.m. at
Zola's Caterers in Hazle
ton. For tickets or more
information, contact any
Student Government Assoc
iation member or call the
Student Government Assoc
ation office any time at
454-5785.
Don't forget, the Stud
ent Government Association
meetings are held every
Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in
the Commons T.V. room.
The Student Government is
available to seek out the
needs of the students.
So, don't hesitate to come
to any meeting with an
issue concerning the stud
ents on. this campus.

As president my goal
this year is to help the
students on this canpus
to realize the severity
of drinking and driving.
Please think twice before
getting into a car with a
drunk driver or driving
while under the influence
yourself. Please be
csreful!
I personally would like
to thank all of you who
participated and helped
make this year's alcohol
awareness week a sucess.
I look forward to your
support for the rest of
this year and X hope you
stay active in preventing
drinking and driving for
the rest of your life.
Finally, I would like
to wish all of you, a very
fun-filled, healthy, and
safe academic year.

ARMY ROIC
What is it about?
The program consists of
one class and one lab
once a week. What a cadet
might learn in class
varies because of the
semester and year of the
cadet. A prime example
is the MSII (sophomore),
he or she holds a leader
ship position and is
required to plan differ
ent activities at
different times and may
even teach a class during
lab. There are also
different kinds of clubs
one may participate in.
One of these is the
Orienteering Club which
conducts field trips
where they go out in the
woods to work on land
navigation skills.
Another is the Historian
& Wargamming Club which
conducts field trips to
learn about military
history and conducts
wargames applying
military techniques.
Yet another is the Drill
Team Club which is an
elite group of cadets
who learn different types
of marching techniques.
This Club presents the
colors at the home
Dasketball games and also
at the Army ROTC Awards
Banquet at the end of the
year. Finally there is
the Ranger Club. These
cadets learn tactical
skills and do a lot of
physical training.
The Ranger Club requires
more discipline and
involement in the program.
Every cadet should be
involved in at least one
club.
Overall, ROTC is a
rewarding experience
because it is not all
about the Army, cadets go
on trips like rappelling,
orienteering, FTX's (field
training exercises), and
our recent trip which was
a visit to Westpoint.
ROTC is like a family,
we live, learn, and cope
together.
