STUDENT'S GYM SCHEDULE
The Y.M.C.A. gym is available to men, students Tuesday from 1 P. M.
to 3 P. 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.

RUDMAN CUTS HUC
QUINTET CANDIDATES
Wednesday night was pruning time
at the A. D. 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.

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! College students,
rushing in where angels fear, to
tread.
Follow our example! Don’t bet a
cent on any of them !

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

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

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

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.
People who wager on horses,
See their castles go up in smoke,
Since horses don’t bet on people,
Horses never go broke.

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.
