From High School The transition from high school to college is made with ease y some students while others find it more difficult. The latter :group views college as merely a continuation of high school. 'This is ( a grave misconception, particularly from the standpoint of the students' reSponsibilities. In high school the teacher is responsible for the amount of work covered and absorbed by the student. In. college this re sponsibility is shifted from the instructor to each individual stu dent. In this situation the instructor acts as a guide and a coun selor, giving encouragement and advice. He. performs the same functions as a father teaching a child to walk. If he carries the child, he is defeating his purpose, but by placing him on the floor and lending a little support at first, then allowing the child to go on by himself, the child learns to step and finally walk. Thus the college instructor helps the student to think, to be self-relient and to meet situations by himself. Instructors are on hand •at specified times for consultation with students—to assist in this process of developing confidence and self-reliance. this consultation, however, is not compulsory, but is available for the students who desire it. The faculty of the Hazleton Undergraduate Center desires to be of assistance 'at all times to develop the leaders and good citizens of the future. They do not want many people who must be pushed or pulled to do the necessary things. You must learn to face life, to meet problems and:to stand on your own feet. The School Despite the fact that the staff members of "The Hazleton Collegian", the Center's school newspaper, worked under diffi cult conditions last year, the young men and women turned out an excellent newspaper, No "Collegian" office space was avail able last year, nor was there an adequate plan set up for news deadlines and printers' deadlines. These obstacles were over come by the spirit and enthusiasm and ability of the staff mem bers who published a highly creditable paper. The students who did much to add to the success of the pa per were: George Tomsho, Francis Fatsie, Leon Baden, Edward Wizda, Paul Cerolla, Gerald Hassel, Bernard Dvorschak, Dan Wargo, Ray Phillips, Charles Maurer, Sigmund Knies, Guy O'Hazza, Grace Mcßride and Marguerite Rondish. Unfortunately, such key personnel as Tomsho and Wizda will not be back this semester; but on the brighter side of the ledger we find that most of 'the older, experienced staff members will be back to carry on the work of the Collegian. It is hoped that these people, together withi new blood from the freshman class, will make this year's COLLEGIAN even better than last.. A new faculty advisor has been appointed to assist the COL LEGIAN staff, and am editorial room has been secured for the use of staff members. Good luck, COLLEGIAN. HAZLETON COLLEGIAN ADD 0 To College Newspaper OUR LIBRARY By MISS MARGARET CAMPBELL Library Undergoes Face Lifting Last ,year's students will no doubt notice the changeS and improvements in the library. It has undergone al most a complete fa.ce-lifting. New chairs, tables, shelves and a large circulation desk add to the at tractiveness of the reading room. The most striking new feature of the library is the mural painted by Mr. Arthur Carpenter, art instructor at the Center. The mural symbolically portrays the struggles and sorrows in the lives of the miners of the anthra cite region. The great increase in the number of books last year created a problem in the stacks.

As usual, the library will be open each day for study and browsing from eight A. M. to five P. M. A. student librarian will be on duty during these hours. Library Rules The same system for checking books from the library as was in ef fect last year will be used this year.

Books may be 'checked out for a period of one week, except in the case of reserve books. They are on hour reserve during the day. They may be taken from the li brary at three P. M. and must be re turned by nine o'clock the following morning. A fine of two cents per day is charged for each day a book is over due. For books on reserve the fine is five cents for each hour or fraction thereof that the book is overdue. New Library Books Many new books have recently been placed on the library shelves.
