4 THOUGHTS IN THE BREEZE Hello again to our readers of last year and a hearty welcome to the new members of the faculty, the Freshman class, and all the other new readers. The paint job given the corridors, rooms and furniture brightens our outlook and has been enthusiastically approved by all. A cute little Freshman lass was heard to remark: "They should make those handsome Sophomores wear name tags, too, then I might get to know some of them." Careful, fellows, we have heard that she was having trouble with her German lessons so is probably looking for a tutor. We suggest she contact "Red" Mcßride who has announced that he has dropped the subject in order to in struct and aid other less fortunate students of the subject. Our prediction of the week is that "Duke" Sipple will become one of the world's renowned psychiatrists. The mere layman is left in the clouds when the Duke settles into conversa tion with Mrs. Hazelton. We are proud to have in our midst Clifford Buff, who is determined to' get a normal education despite the fact that his vision has failed. Our praises to his buddies, Conrad Balliet, Harry Herring and Charles Wilson, - who have volunteered to read lessons to Buff. Dr. Ramsay is confident that the world will be safe when the present students of HUC are ready to take it in hand.. The Doctor has been flooded with inquiries concerning the Inter nationl Relations Club,• yet she insists that she is merely a member. -. Watch the bulletin boards for an nouncements of club. organizations. HUC will offer Much in the line of extra curricular activities: sports, dramatics, music art and radio among others. You're a dead pin if you don't get into something. The greatest faux pas of the year will be to inquire what is meant by HUC. For the benefit of our new readers, this paper will consistently refer to the Hazleton Undergraduate Center as HUC. Karl Wagner was stumped in speech class the other day when he appeared before the class to say a few words. What we want to know is, was he stage struck or just stuck ? Know ing the Speech instructor will help one to understand. "Y" Privileges For HUC The Undergraduate Center' has made tentative arrangements with the local Y.M.C.A. to secure "Penn State .Membership" status for those students who wish to join the organi zation and who are willing to comply with the following terms: The Penn State students will be accorded all the privileges of the reg ular Young Men, Young Women and Senior members. The membership will be on a semes ter basis. A, Penn State membership will cost interested students $1.50 per semes ter. The students must comply with all Y.M:C.A. rules and regulations. Those students who are interested in becoming Penn State members of the Y.M.C.A. should contact Mr. Rudman immediately and make the necessary arrangements. Don't pass up this splendid oppor tunity. HAZLETON COLLEGIAN Blind Student At Center Clifford Buff of Drums, (right) blind student attending the Hazleton Undergraduate Center of Pennsylvania State College, receives assistance from Harry Herring, a classmate. Herring, Conrad Balliet and Chas. Wilson have volunteered .to assist Buff by reading his lessons to him. For the-first time in the history of the Hazleton Undergraduate Center of the Pennsylvania State College a blind student has been enrolled. He is Clifford Buff, 22, of Drums, who will study agricultural education and aim to specialize in 4-H club work. Baum, whose vision began to fail when a junior at Hazleton High School, has - What is known as "travel ing sight" and can distinguish light and dark and find his way through doors. However he cannot read any type and for his lesson work must depend on the assistance of class mates who have volunteered to read to him. So far Harry Herring, Con rad Balliet and Chas. Wilson have ar ranged to help. Buff was able to gradfiate from Ha zleton High but later while doing of fice work and maintenance for the The Voice of the People Editing a newspaper is a pleasant thing. If we publish jokes people say we are ignorant and immature. If we don't we are old fossils. If we print original material they tell us we don't give them enough syndicated selec tions. If we copy selections they say we are too lazy to write. If we remain in the office, then we ought to be out looking for news. If we go out, then we are not attending our business. Truly, a newspaper is the voice of the people. Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. realized that his sight was failing. He studied this summer under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Heeremans of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind and learned chair caning and some Braille. Despite his handi cap he has done a great deal of work for the association.

Here's what they have to say— do you agree? What's your opinion of the new women's styles? Richard Waechter, freshman—"On some women they are all right—but on coeds—NO!" Bud Shermer, sophomore—"l don't like the new styles. They shouldn't cover Niature'S beauty." Sieg Knies, Jr., sophomore "The new women's fashions are completely agreeable• to me. Of course it all de pends on how the girls wear them, too. Long skirts on tall girls; short skirts on short girls." Marguerite Rondish, sophomore "I agree with a friend of mine that skirts should be long enough to be de cent and short enough to be interes ting."
