Campus
Highacres
By Michele Labour
All to often credit is not endowed upon
those who truly deserve it. The purpose of
this feature is to acknowledge those who are
routinely overlooked. Have you ever won
dered who you would ask for directions of the
campus and surrounding area? That is the
purpose of this article, for the Highacres
Collegian to give high regard to Rosemary
Mandrick!
As you walk in the doors of the Adminis
tration Office you see the smiling face of
Rosemary, the campus’ receptionist, to greet
you and help you with whatever you need.
Rosemary was first employed as a part
time cook in the Dining Hall for a year and
half. When she heard of the opening for tire
receptionist she applied and has been there
for five and half years.
Rosemary’s job is to answer the phone,
process in and outgoing mail for the staff,
relate messages, and give directions. Her
favorite part of the job is the atmosphere and
Residence Hall
By Janel Murphy
The Residence Hall Council has been
reconstructed. In fact, there is no longer an
RHC. RHC is now the Association of Resi
dence Hall Students (ARHS).
When RHC was first formed, South Hall
was the one and only Residence Hall at Penn
State University Hazleton Campus. How
ever, since then Hazleton Campus has grown.
RHC has not been able to keep up with all the
needs of all the students in all three resident
halls. Hazleton Campus has outgrown RHC
during the past few years. Four officers
sitting in the basement of South Hall can no
longer handle the demands of all the student
activities throughout the campus.
The solution to this problem is for RHC to
expand in order to be able to fulfill the needs

Council Under Reconstruction
and demands of the students. The purpose
and function of the ARHS is to provide activi
ties for all students residing in the University
owned housing. It shall also provide, for its
members, a living atmosphere representing
their interests and encouraging a unified spirit
a responsibility in resident halls.
All full time students who are currently
enrolled and reside in campus housing at
Hazleton Campus, qualify as members of
ARHS.
The set up of ARHS is modeled after the
same organization at University Park. Instead
of there being only one Residence Hall Coun
cil that presides over the whole campus, there
will be a Council for each Residence Hall.
Each Council will consist of a President, a
Rosemary Mandrick
meeting the students and faculty coming in
everyday. She especially likes helping stu
dents and faculty. “I go home at the end of
the day feeling good, knowing that 1 helped
people.”
The most frequent requests from students
and staff are finding directions around cam
pus and Hazleton and placing phone calls.
Not only does she work hard during the
school year, but during the summer it gets
busy with parents and students that are from
out of town coming in for information about
the campus and surrounding area.
During the winter, students constantly call
in to see if there is a compressed schedule or
if there are classes cancelled.
During Rosemary’s free time she enjoys
aerobics, shopping, and spending time with
her husband on remodeling the house,
When giving credit where credit is due it
should be given to Rosemary for all her
dedication and help around campus
Vice-President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer.
Each Council will have its own responsibili
ties and meetings in its own Halls. The
Councils combined together form the Execu
tive Board. The Executive Board shall act as
the governing body of the Association of
Residence Hall Students. It shall have ulti
mate authority over all decisions made by its
committees and officers as well as individual
Residence Hall Councils. Executive Board
Meetings will be presided over by a modera
tor. ARHS has been created to fulfill the
needs ofHazleton Campus students and hope
fully the remodeling of the Council structure
will be a success.
