Hirkster Speaks
When you hear the
letters WHCB together
in a complete sentence,
do you think of Penn
State's #1 radio stat
ion? Probablynot, but
that may soon change.
As of this semester,
many steps have been
taken in order to est
ablish WHCB as a cred
ible unit. As of now,
our broadcasting capa
bilities are below
standard. Our signal can
only be picked up in the
South dorms and the
Commons. As of the New
Year, we will be boosting
our signal to the North
Dorms and the dining hall.
Our updating of our
standards does not end
here though. We recently
purchased a new mixing
board, a CD player, and
numerous other pieces of
equipment to better the
station for the listening
audience.
We at WHCB realize that
it is easier to keep the
radio on FM, so we are
trying to find reasons
for you to turn to AM.
To begin, we will be hav
ing contests (one of which
will have a LARGE sscashss
prize) and passing out a
list of the type of music
played at what time. Your
response has a great
amount of influence on the
station. If we get
response for a song we
don't have, we will get
it to play. Don't for
get we are here for your
listening entertainment.

1.C.C.1. - THE BEGINNING
People have been asking,
"What the #<=s@i# is I.C.C.
I?" First of all, it
stands for Intramural Club
Competition Interaction.
It is a FRIENDLY compet
itive organization that
found it's start right
here on Hazleton Campus, j
The objective is for
clubs to challenge other
clubs to an activity of
any type. The activities
may include, but are in
no way limited to, volley-1
ball, soccer, bowling, I
Trivial Pursuit, or even I
Twister. The only limit I
is the clubs imagination. I
During the events, SGA I
shall act as judge on any-|
thing that calls for a I
ruling. They will also I
keep a running record I
posted on the team stand- I
ings. The club presidents
should have already [
received all the inform- I
ation and presents it to I
you. If not, bring it up I
at your next meeting. I
1.C.C.1 is currently I
being tested at several I
local campuses in the I
area. If the concept I
works, there will be an I
1.C.C.1. Olympics against I
other campuses. This I
could lead to the eventual!
intergration into all the I
campuses. Be a part of I
something that began at I
your campus. Join the I
ranks of Ichydom today!!! I

I What is SGA. Is it an
I organization on campus
I designed to promote cam-
I pus functions? Most
I students were under the
I impression that it is the
I governing body here at
I Highacres. What is the
I purpose of an SGA meeting?
I Is it to provide a place
I for students to bring
I forth their ideas so that
I they canbe presented to
I the administration with
I the backing of the campus
I government? Why then,
I has it turned into an-
I other H.C.A.C. meeting?
I At University Park USG
I is concerned with issues
I like: an open budget,
I minority rights and en-
I roir.nent, tuition increas
| es, end the selection of
I a new University President.
I Here at home we seem to
I be more concerned with the
I Semiand what to do about
I Residence Hall students
I that drive up the hill.
Granted, the Semi is SGA's
main event of the semester,
and the parking problem
does need to be resolved.
I just can't see how an
organization that takes
to decide what their sweat
shirts are going to look
like can propose a reason
able solution to a problem
of weight. What can be
done? For one thing SGA
can reevaluate it's posi
tion. Ask the students
for input, or how they
feel about a certain pro
posal, vote on the issue
and take it to the proper
people. If the student
body's needs are not met,
press the issue further.
The idea to have different
stickers for off campus
students is a good one!
Let's take it to the
administration and get it
implemented. This is a
problem that is not going
to go away. In fact it
will get worse. The con
struction of a nwq acad
emic center, and a new
Residence Hall is about to
begin. If necessary SGA
can get a court injunction
to delay the building un-

til an adaquate solution
is found. I seriously
doubt that it will come
to that, but we must
realize that it could.
The university spends
millions of dollars a year,
why can't they afford two
different color parking
stickers? If you are rea
lly interested about what
the school doesn't do for
it's students, ask me
about the MAC machine that
was supposed to be includ
ed in the new bookstore.

JORDAN
Rimes
Dr. Bryce Jordan, the
president of The Penn
State University, is seek
ing a committee made up
of University Park admin
istrators, faculty and
Staff, and students to
meet in order to seek out
Dr. Jordan's predecessor.
On August 31, 1990, Dr.
Jordan will be resigning
as the president of The
Penn State University.
So, what is our concern?
Well, the Board of Trust
ees has decided to choose
two students from Univer
sity Park to sit on the
committee. One student
will represent USG (Under
graduate Student Govern
ment) , and the other
student representing GSA
(Graduate Student Govern
ment) . So what happened
to a representative from
CCSG (Commonwealth Campus
Student Government)? Why
is the Board of Trustees
denying CCSG a seat on the
search committee? Should
n't the Board of Trustees
realize a new University
President will not only be
the president of Univer
sity Park, but to 19 more
Commonwealth Campuses,
whose enrollment makes up
close to 50% of Perm
State's popu;ation.
Right now P.J. Sternberg
, Coordinator of CCSG, is
fighting a political war
with University officials
trying to get a seat
issued to CCSG.
So, the issue now lies
in the Hands of the
Commonwealth Campuses and
their Student Government
Association Presidents.
What do "we" do as a mem
ber of CCSG? The first
step in the right direct
ion, I feel, is to pass
around two petitions; one
petition to the student
body and the other petit
ion to the Faculty and
Staff.
It is an absolute
Necessity to show our con
cern to the situation. It
is pertinent to the Hazle
ton Campus as well as any
other Commonwealth Campus,
to show that this must be
tackled head-on. So, as
Penn State's number one
Commonwealth Campus, let's
pull together and let's
make the Board of Trustees
realize how serious we
are!!
