Hopeful rumors have been flying
thick and fast about building a bigger
and better HUC, but where ? When
we asked a few of the students where
they thought would be a good location
for a new center, we got some excel
lent and varied answers.
QUESTION: What do you think
would be a good site for the new
HUC ?
John J. Corrigan—"l think a good
location would he along the Berwick
highway or on the route to Drums
where we could have, nice scenery for
a campus."
Cyril Sernak "A new center
should be built where there is plenty
of space for a campus, for instance
Hazle Park or the , Conyngham Val
ley."
John, Watro "What's wrong with
the Heights ? The Heights will be one
of the nicest sections of the city in
the future."
George Kora "A center in
, Conyngham, with a campus, would
bring about more unity among the
students. Also, like state College, •a
center there would offer great possi
bilities for a greater Hazleton."
John ;Shawarko "Since the
Heights seems to be the most prom
ising section in Hazleton, I think the
new HUC should be built up near the
armory."
Le Cercle Francais

the French Club, announces that the

A recent advertisement in the local
newspapers stated that a family leav
ing for Florida for the winter would
like to rent their six room home. Miss
Hilda Lee James wasted little time in
getting out to Cranberry Avenue and
as- a result of her observations, she
and three other feminine members of
the facultly are moving in next week.
Miss Margaret Liechty, Miss Mary
Margaret Wood, and Miss Joy Bonn
are going to share this "hacienda"
with Miss James. The little household
tasks are to be equally divided among
the four ambitious young ladies. The
duties of the night fireman have not
yet been assigned, primarily because
none of the four young ladies has
ever seen a furnace before. Any sug
gestions? Miss James had a course in
Home Economics which included some
cooking, so she will supervise the
"kitchen work".
It is •rumored that there will be a
house-warming and that everybody is
welcome; however this rumor has not
been confirmed.

Did You Know:
That last school year at the HUC
the G. I. students on the whole aver
aged better than the non-G. I. stu
dents ? Let's see this year Who'll come
out on top.
That way back in 1936 when the
RUC was in its infancy, the library
consisted of a mere three books which
Mr. Pugh, supervisor of the Penn
State Undergraduate Centers carried
into the IMarkle Bank Building, the
first location of the Hug ? During the
period of time which has elapsed, it
has swelled to the total of 2400 vol
umes and in addition receives forty
two periodicals and six newspapers.
That the Penn 'State campus, filled
to the proverbial brim with students,
numbers them at 1,500 gals and 6,000
guys ? We're about in the same boat
here at HUC with the ratio of 437
males to 37 females. (Then, too, the
five very capable office girls can't be
left out, by any mean s.) That the week of September 22,
1947 will long be remembered by the
.HUIC freshmen? After all, they did
fill out an undeterminable number of
forms, and signed their names to
them no less than TWENTY-SIX
times.
'That the four undergraduate cen
ters have twenty percent of the
whole Penn State student enroll-
ment ?
In the HUC we have a larger en
rollment at present (474) than our
parent university had in its first half
century of operation?
That 2100 degrees have been con
ferred by the college at commence
ment exercises held since the first of
the year?
—George N. Demshock
