MASS MEETING WEDNESDAY AT 11:00
“Turkey Trot” Tuesday Night;
“Gabe” Garland To Play
Are you tired of exams? Does your head ache from pouring over
your chem book? Those “blue book blues” are over now—for a
while anyway. So, if it is relaxation you are looking for, be sure to
come to the “Turkey Trot.”
This is the second dance given un
der the supervision of the student
council. It will be held at the St.
John’s auditorium on North Wyom
ing street. The date is November 26
and the time is 8:30 P. M.
The social committee of the student
council, headed by Irene Kochera, has
worked hard to make this a bang-up
affair. Teddy Broski is in charge of
arrangements and has secured the
hall and Gabe Garland’s orchestra.
Anyone who has heard “The Garlan
ders” knows that there will be plenty
of good music.
In charge of refreshments is Rose
Deitch. Serving as her assistants are
Lorraine DeJoseph, Sarah Nelson,
John Ward, and Jack Specht.
Bob Patanovich is doing a swell
job on publicity for the “Turkey
Trot.” He is responsible for securing
that eye-catching poster next to the
bulletin board.
Dick Barager has been busy round
ing up all the talent HUC has to of
fer for entertainment. Many of the
more versatile students have been
kind enough to offer their services
for that evening.
Participating in the program are:
Vocal solos Alice Lanyon, Jane
Kenvin.
Instrumental Ruth Von Bergen,
Anne McHugh, Gladys Lorah.
Skit John Ward, Eddie Ferdi
nand, Lorraine DeJoseph.
The admission tickets are free and
can be obtained from anyone on the
Social Committee whose names were
previously mentioned.
The last dance was an undisputable
success ... so be sure and attend this
one. Dress is informal. There will be
root beer, women and song! What
more can you ask?

CLASS SCHEDULE REVISED TO ASSURE

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.

free to study any instrument of theii
caoice.
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.
