M. and Friday 2 P. M. to 4 P. M. These periods may be followed by a half hour swim if so desired. Thursday is girls’ day at the Y.M.C.A., as they can use the gym from 4 P. M. to 5 P. M. followed by a half hour swim. Girls’ bowling is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30. All students are urged to take advantage of this opportunity for physical exercise. Your matriculation at the Hazleton Undergraduate Center entitles you to use the facilities of the local Y.M.C.A. There is a specific schedule to be followed'in the use of these facilities and there are also certain regulations to be obeyed. It should not be necessary to tell college students the proper manner of behavior but a few gentle hints may not go amiss. Mr. Davis, secretary of the “Y” has spent a good deal of time and energy in keeping the floors of the gym and the lobby in good condition. Never wear street shoes in the gym and always be careful not to mar the floor of the lobby with your shoes. Common sense will be the best guide in the use of our privileges at the “Y”. Meet The Coach Another addition to the 11.U.C. faculty is Mr. Syd Rudman, head of the Physical Education Department. Coach Rudman is a native of Phil adelphia, Pa. While at West Phila delphia High School, he participated in athletics; namely, gymnastics, basketball, and soccer. Upon graduation, Mr. Rudman en tered West Chester S.T.C. where he was outstanding in gymnastics, hav ing won the A.A.U. All-Around Gym nastic Championship in 1940. After one year at West Chester, he transferred to Penn State. Here he was a member of the national cham pionship gymnastic team. Although Coach Rudman -played intra-mural basketball, his lack of height prevent ed his playing varsity ball. He played some soccer at State, too. With no little reluctance, he admitted being a cheer-leader. In 1943, he was called into service. After completing an AAP O.C.S. course at Miami Beach, Fla., he be came a Physical Training Officer in the Army Air Forces and later, a Physical Reconditioning Officer in the U. S. Army Medical Administrative Corps. At the local Center, Mr. Rudman will coach the H.U.C. quintet and supervise all intra-mural sports ac tivities.

Thomas Gym, as Syd Rudman, HUC basketball coach cut a number of candidates for the squad from the roster. With a record breaking number of aspirants the job was indeed a difficult one. With many former high school stars, YMCA basketeers, and independent hoop sters to choose from the coach has slashed the squad to approximately 20 hopefuls. AN HONEST MAN The setting was in the game room of the HUC. An aged and sagacious looking character walked in -carrying a lantern. Students of Ancient History imme diately recognized him as Diogenes. He sauntered over to a group of Gl’s and asked one of them, “How many of the enemy -did you kill?” “Why, none,” the student replied. Diogenes blew out his light and went home.

HAZLETON COLLEGIAN PRE-GAME FORECASTS The ability to tell which team will leave a football field victorious would be a handy thing for those of us who like to make occasional wagers. In keeping with our policy of bringing the best service possible to all students, we offer our suggestions for the week-end tilts. This publication has spared no time, labor, or expense in its quest for correct predictions. The expenses of our reporters, whose intei.views with all the local sports experts took them into all the better pool rooms in town, were terrific. Here we go!

NSTTANY LIONS TO CLASH WITH FORDHAM On November 2, the Penn State Nittany Lions will tackle the Fordham Rams at New Beaver Field, State College, Pa., in a game which has aroused a great deal of interest at the local Undergraduate Center. Of special interest to regional fans will be the appearance of Joe An dre.) co, captain of the Fordham eleven. Joe is well remembered as a Hazleton High great and he com posed half of the famed “Touchdown Twins” combination that gathered glory on scholastic gridirons. Many of the student body here at HUC plan to attend the fray and an exciting afternoon of football will be in store for them. HATS OFF DEPT. At midnight last night the presses began to roll and the first issue of the 1946 HAZLETON COLLE GIAN was born. It was truly through “Blood, Sweat and Tears” that we made our deadline. The fact that this publication reaches you today is due largely to the unstinting efforts and close cooperation of our printer. His advice and aid to a staff hampered by inexperience has earned our gratitude. . . . HATS OFF to our printer. S in i I a x Floral Shop MAX AND JEAN SHIELDS 22 EAST BROAD STREET HAZLETON, PA.

Between Broad and Walnut BRIGHT SAYINGS Requested to write a theme en titled, “The Outstanding Member of Your Family,’’ a student of Miss Collier’s wrote a biography of Leo Durocher. Asked if the famed sports man was a member of his family, the lad calmly answered, “Oh, no, he’s a member of someone else’s family.” BIG FAMILY! In filling out a questionnaire dur ing registration, a freshman con scientiously completed the section where the number of younger and older brothers was requested. Mr. Krecker, in checking the question naire was quite startled. The boy un doubtedly misinterpreted the ques tion to mean the ages of his brothers because his answers were 36 older and 18 younger. MODERN BOTANY In one of his Botany classes, Mr. Steeele was illustrating the many ways in which our everyday life is connected with plants. When he asked if anyone knew of an association of music with Botany, he received the bright answer, “Tea for Two.” HIALEAH LAMENT Horses don’t bet on people, Horses have too much sense, Horses ain’t got no remorses, They pull wagons, with true re compense.

HAZLETON, PA This column is being dedicated to the memory of the students who have laid down their academic lives in or der that we might have a better un derstanding of how to study and how not to study. It is an effort to present to local Penn State freshmen (and sophomores) some of the proper stu dy habits with which they should be cultivated, and some of the ways by which they may be developed to a higher degree of efficiency. Some students have already begun to feel that flunking is an inevi table as death and taxes; this need not be true. Students flunk, primarly, for one of two reasons: First, they may lack the basic ability necessary to do college work, or they may lack the ability to continue in the curri culum of their first choice, or; Se cond, they may be guilty of the im proper application of, or the complete lack of application of ability even though they possess an adequate amount of it. For those who fall in the first cate gory, a change in the type of formal training or a change in curriculum in keeping with the interest and abil ity of the individual is suggested; Instructors should be helpful in recognizing and suggesting such changes for the student’s benefit. , For those who fall in the second category, the following suggestions are given: . 1. As a beginning student, in col lege, you should recognize that the nature of college courses requires that you devote approximately two hours in preparation for each one hour class. (If you have three 1.-hour classes tomorrow, you should have spent six hours in, preparation for them.) 2. Study your new assignment as soon as possible after you leave class. 3. Study your daily assignment regularly. Do not allow' unstudied assignments to accumulate. Utilize your vacant periods throughout the day for this purpose. 4. Study your lesson at the same place and at about the same time each day. The place most highly recommended is your own room at home or in the dormitory where there are no distractions. “I like this word 5. Study independently. Do your own work and use your own judge ment, asking for .help, only when you cannot proceed without it,_. 6. Be sure your study room is a quiet one, and not too warm. 7. Sit up to a table or desk on a straight-back chair, with both your feet on the floor and your body leaning slightly forward over your work. Begin work at once. Do not waste time in starting. “Comprenez- 8. Read over the entire assign ment quickly; then go over it a sec ond time carefully, section by section. Try to discover the main points of the lesson through the paragraph headings. Underline important sentences, phrases or words. You should be certain, however, that the item is important before you underline it. Read with your head, not your eyes; think and organize, don’t just recognize words and phrases. 9. Develop the dictionary habit. Make a note of new and unfamiliar words and look them up after you have finiseh the first reading of your assignment. 10. When actually tired, exercise a moment, or change to a different type of work. LECTURE HlNT—Equip yourself with a standard 8y 2 xll notebook. During lecture period, take careful notes. Make sure you get all points spe cially emphasized or enumerated by the lecturer. Note all specific state ments which tell you something de finite about the subject matter being discussed.
