Oc-cob-er 28, 19^1 1941-igU2 Inter-Center Student Council Conference Wheel Those kids who went to the Student Coiincil Conference at Potts vilie sure to "Want to Set the World on IFire"! They were active and busy every minute they were away. Here is what they did. They had lunch at the Necho Allen Hotel, fol—' lowed by a meeting of the various com mittees, after which their pictures were taken. At the dinner in the evening, Professor Gates of the English Department of She Pennsylvania State College gave an interesting talk and Mr. Morgan, formerly Assistant Adminis trative Head of BUC, told jokes; this was followed by a swell hoe-down. The next morning the delegates had a meeting to decide upon Student Council keys. Later in the morning the general meeting of all committees was held, at which time various goals were set and ideas exchanged. This meeting i>jas followed by dinner at the hotel, the last event of the conference. Here's what the Councils want to 1. Have Ping-Pong tournaments pre cede the basketball games. 2. Establish a uniform Student Council key. These are the things which the HUC Council is trying to promote; 1. Have an open house for the Pottsville basketball team. 2. Have some social affair with the Schuylkill Center. Official Announcements Professor Koepp-Baker will give every student at the Hazleton Under graduate Center a speech examination on Thursday, October JO, for diagnosis and aid both in speech difficulties and in the improvement of normal speech. Watch the bulletin board for the time of your examination. Collegian Hazleton What 1 s Wrong with the Sophs? Customs —punishments—just two words without meaning (to the Sophs). We did not wear dinks, we did not comply with the punishment. Did anything happen? No! And Why? The Sophomores were afraid of us (We must be larger than they are!). Or perhaps because they didn't abide by customs last year, they felt that we didn't have to. Not that we're com plaining about not having to keep cus toms, but we think the Sophs are silly. They keep talking about customs and what they'll do to us if we don't obey, but it's all talk! They're sheep in wolves' clothing—not a backbone in the crowd. And the Tribunal—that's a laugh! They make a big rumpus about our showing up; they make us feel like two cents for about five minutes, and that's all. Why, many of the Sophomores didn't even appear at the meetings of the supposedly dread Tribunal. School spirit doesn't seem to mean a thing to these sophisti cated .Sophomores. Wait until next year and we'll show the school how to run customs and a Tri bunal! "Button, Frosh," I yelled. But the inferior pup looked at me with indiffer ence. I was amazed at such reaction and questioned further. "Have you no fear of the all-powerful Tribunal?" "Don't make me laugh," was the reply. r fhis proved to me that the average Freshman has an attitude of belligerence toward the carrying out of customs. I feel that this is a disgrace to the tradition that has been set up, but I also feel that all blame cannot be placed on the Freshmen. The Sophomores from the outset of the sem ester have treated the customs as a joke.’ This feeling was contagious and spread to the Freshmen. I suggest that the Sophomores, by treating the subject with proper revery ence, instill in the Freshmen a similar feeling. After all, customs are an in tegral part of Freshman activities.
