Eiche scholarship fund started in 1939 with the inten tions of establishing scholarships on a i?J n kasis for Hazleton students. 1 he president of our student coun cil will represent HUC in the Alumni Association. CLASS SCHEDULE REVISED TO ASSURE ATTENDANCE OF COMPLETE STUDENT In its first regularly scheduled meeting the student council set Wednesday, November 27, as the date for the Center’s first mass as sembly in many years. The meeting has been planned to enable mem bers of council to have a closer contact with their constituents. ALL CLUBS MUST SUBMIT BUDGET TO COUNCIL BY MONDAY NIGHT At a meeting of the student coun cil Monday, November 18th, adoption of the present budget plan was de ferred until all clubs submitted their individual budgets to the council committee. This must be done by Monday, November 25th, when the council will hold their next session. It is extremely important that all existing clubs comply with this re quest. If clubs, that are organized at present, do not submit their budg et plans to the council, the money that is allocated to them will be chan neled to other activities. Clubs that arc not as yet organized, but are in the embryo stage, must be complete ly organized by February 1, 1947, and their budgets submitted at tint time, or their funds will also be chan neled to other activities. The council requested that all clubs send representatives to this meeting, and that they have their, budgets made out in clear, precise manner. Too much cannot be said about the importance of complying with the council’s wishes. The budget ,s made to the best advantage of all concerned, and cooperation is needed .o bocks and records can be put in order. HUC MAY OFFER COURSE IN MUSIC INSTRUCTION Tentative plans are being made t( 3 '?er a course in Applied Music next ram ester. This course would involve 'instruction in various types of instru ments, such as: piano, violin, clari net, etc. Students taking the course .would receive two credits. There would be one hour of recitation, and five hours of practicum (practice) per week. For practice sessions it was stated that arrangements may be made with the YWCA and YMCA to secure the use of their pianos during' certain hours. An additional fee of $21.5C would be charged for all those desir ing to take the course. For GFs this would be taken care of by the GI Bill of Rights. The reason for this fee is to take care of rental of in struments, purchasing of music, and other expenses peculiar to this type of course. Piano and violin would be specialized, but students would be dame loom Committee Selected: Cleanup Campaign To Begin A game room committe in charge of Francis Fatsie, council vice-presi dent, was selected at the last meeting of the student council. The other members of the committee are: Tom Caccese, Ted Broski, Frank Lucia, Dave Keller, and Dick Barager. This committee will be solely re sponsible for the game room, and they voiced then' intention of start ing a clean-up program immediately. They agreed that this action was necessary, and intend to enforce any directives they may install. Their first action is to get sufficient ash trays, and trash receptacles. How ever, full student co-operation is needed. It has: been noted that some students eat their lunch in the room and arc extremely careless as to dis posing of their waste, also, many pieces of scratch paper usually find their way to the floor' instead of the waste basket. As a result of this NOVEMBER 22, 1946 ► In a meeting in which the progres sive attitude of student government was emphasized, the issue of the mass meeting was debated. The difficulties entailed and the advantages to be gained were discussed, and it was de cided that an assembly was a neces sity. In co-operation with the council, Mr. Goss has announced that the Wednesday morning schedule will be so revised that all students will be able to attend. A copy of that sche dule will be found following this ar ticle. Attendance will be compulsory. President A 1 Keller will preside! and he has announced that all mat ters concerning the students, scho lastic and extra curricular, will be aired. The auditorium to be used for the meeting has not been decided upon as we go to press; but announcements will be made in all classes in plenty of time for everyone to get to the meeting. The COLLEGIAN and the council cannot stress too highly the necessity for conduct becoming college stu dents. We will be guests in whatever hall we use; proper behavior will be the best way we can express our gratitude to our benefactor.

Altoona Undergraduate Center in stituted this course with great suc cess, and it is felt that it would he a much desired course here at HUC. Many students have long wished to study some instrument but had been unable to do so before; this would be a wonderful opportunity. It has come to the attention of Mr. Krecker that most students seem to walk on the wrong side of the halls during the change in classes. This causes confusion and often results in many accidents of books being scat tered over the iloor, etc. It is hoped that in the future, stu dents will walk on their own right at all times when going to and from classes.. A change of this sort will result in a more orderly method of procedure. I practice, flies are becoming numerous and the room usually looks like the aftermath of a firemen’s convention. After ash trays are installed students will be asked to refrain from throvv mg butts and matches into the waste bankets. Tins is an extremely haz ardous practice; one fire has already been seen in one of the baskets, and it is very possible that a serious ( on fiagaration could result from this sort of carelessness. So be careful v here you throw your butts. Records are being ordered for the game room, and a coke machine has also been requisitioned. These fea tures will be installed as soon as they become available. The committee stated that the stu dents would be wise to follow a slightly paraphrased version of the golden rule in regard to the game room that is, “Do unto HUC, J you would do in your own home.
