THOUGHTS IN THE
BREEZE
On April 25 Remember
On April 25 remember the early
bird gets the worm—but who wants
a worm ? Speaking of annelids, stu
dents of Miss Thomas' zoology clas
ses looked twice at the nightcrawlers
which were washed out of their sub
terranean habitats by the rains this
week. The zoology students dissected
specimens recently. Preserved, of
course!
OBITUARIES
A member of the faculty related
to one of his classes an amusing inci
dent that occured during his college
career. His class, realizing their pro
fessor had poor eyesight, gave him
an extra name, Schulty, for his roll
call hook when he asked if he had
missed anyone. After that someone
always recited for the imaginary
Schulty until the final exam. Fast

obtain a talented speaker to provide
after-dinner entertainment.
3—lf any expenses should be in
curred in securing a speaker, use the
funds which would have been provi
ded for the dance.
Upon inquiring about last year's
commencement program, the Activi
ties Board learned that whatever
apathy students displayed toward the
affair was the product of these fac
tors:
I—Mixing academic awards and a
speaker with a dinner presented a
too lengthy program.
2—The dinner was limited -to 'up
perclassmen 'and .their guests.
3—After. the dinner it was neces
sary to travel to Hazle Park for the
dance.
4—lnsufficient dance music.
2—More honors and awards at the
dance.
Separation of Events
Anxious to promote more success
ful social events, the Activities
Board and the College Council piti
tioned the Student-Faculty Board
for a senaration of academic and so
cial interests.
Mr. Goss' attitude toward a convo
cation of awards is favorable and the
majority of the faculty appreciate
student efforts to recognize more for
mally the academic honors won by
their classmates. (A convocation of
awards should not be confused with
traditional, large-scale college com
mencements.)
Is there any reason, since these
awards are being made, why they
should not be made publicly? Do we
want our school to progress or do we
want it to retire to Broad Street af
ter so many of us leave ? Any living
thing grows better under supervi
sion. Let's see to it, then, that we
cultivate ourselves in the public eye.
Let's not hi-jack our own cause.
thinking was necessary. Shortly be
fore the exam, a group accosted the
innocent professor and said, "We're
sorry to inform you, Professor, but
Schulty died."
To this the professor replied,
"What a pity. Schulty was such a
good student!"
Many students took part in the
recent Open House held at HUC.
Shown here is Henry Zazetski
who was attached to the ECon
omics exhibit as he explained
the use of Consumer's Research
Magazine to Joe Olivia and his
mother... Another outstanding
student project during the two
night affair was the actual per
formance of chemistry experi
ments in the Broad Street School
Building by students.
Large Displays
Highlight Open
House Exhibit
Large displays at the Walnut and
Broad Street Buildings highlighted a
two-night Open House exhibit at
HUC last Thursday and Friday eve
nings when parents and friends of
State students were able to see work
being carried on here.
The committee in charge of plan
ning the program was headed by
Ralph Krecker. Krecker stated that
results of the project were satisfac
tory and that he wants to extend the
appreciation of the committee to the
students and faculty members who
provided exhibits for display.
Displays at the Walnut Street buil
ding included those in the fields of
psychology, philosophy, history, po
litical science, economics, ROTC,
languages and music. Of particular
interest was a puppet show produced
by members of the French deipart
ment under the direction of Miss
Emma 'Phillips.
Activities were represented with
displays on sports activities, interna
tional relations research, and public
relations work.
Elaborate displays at the Broad
Street building drew large groups of
visitors to see exhibits in engineer
ing, chemistry, art, drafting, and
botany and zoology. Members of the
chemistry sections performed actual
experiments both nights being super
vised by Miss Mae Fauth and John
"Carr.
A variety of electrical instruments
were demonstrated by the physics
majors and a colorful art exhibit was
set up in the studios there. This open
house project was the first post-war
visitation program held at this
school.
ROTC TO ATTEND MEETING
Jack Kramer, head of the Local
Reserve Officers' Corp, has extended
an invitation to Sgt. John Vasko and
members of the college ROTC pro
gram to attend their regular meeting
on Tuesday evening at the American
Legion Home. Military movies and
lectures are scheduled.
ON THE BALL
Gladys Lorah wasn't resting when
spectators at the HUC-Marywood
game saw her sitting on the ball. She
either had no choice in the matter or
was hiding the ball from the oppos
ing sharpshooters.
She (awkward dancer) : "This
dance floor is certainly slippery."
He: "It isn't the dance floor. I had
my shoes shined."
