YOU PAID! NOW VOTE FOR .GOOD MANAGEMENT Every student in the Hazleton Un dergraduate Center has invested $7.50 in the activities program here for this semester. Veterans, flor the first time, have been required to pay, this fee, according to the most recent dictates of the Veterans' Administra tion. The usual question has been ex pressed many times already: "Where Does This Money Go?" and "Who Manages These Funds?" Where the money will go and who will manage it will be answered next Week when more than 400 HUC students vote for their class officers. The money has been paid and now the students deserve the answers which they themselves must supply through their ballots. The important post, and for which there are several candidates, is that of Sophomore class president. This person will head the Student Coun cil, the guiding light for everything. From this post, and its auxiliary posts, will originate the final action for—or against—the best interests of all concerned at Penn State's branch in Hazleton. This undergraduate center hit a new high in activities and progress last year. Most of the leaders who watched over the purse strings and the programs are gone from these halls. The students, in all fairness to themselves, must replace these peo ple with competent officials to carry oft ! The key officials must echo stu dent opinion and yet dare not suc cumb to fly-by-night ideas of' a few. Everybody has purchased an interest in this year's program and everyone should receive the dividend due him. Next week when the final tally has been taken the students will know whether they have won their rights to a bigger and better year— and it will have to be good to rank above the record set last year—or whether they have sabotaged their own chances to a memorable part of their college lives. The main officers, once elected, will be the trademarks of this college. When visiting groups come here, the officials will be called upon to act as hosts, conduct meetings and build up co-operation between this school and other state institutions. The students of this school should have the best to do the best. International Relations Club Meets Wednesday "The Berlin Crisis" is expected .to be the topic of discussion when the International Relations Club holds its third meeting next Wednesday at noon in room W-17. An invitation is issued to HUC students and faculty members to take part in the IRC's round-table confabs. No officers have been elected and the group is making an early bid for new members before officials will be chosen. Adviser Dr. Hazel Ramsey pointed out that Freshmen especially are invited to take part in the activi ties so a group of club leaders can be developed for next year. The club has been organized again this year as a panel group on world affairs for students here. The forum meetings are held during the noon hour and members are invited to bring their lunches. Outstanding topics developed last year included "The Marshall Plan," "The Communist Coup in 'Czecho slovakia," "Universal Milit a r y Training," and "The Trieste Issue." A constant review of UN activities is maintained. Bob Timlin Pres. Of Drama Club Bob Timlin has been chosen presi dent of the Penn State Players, this school's thespian group. Miss Mar garet Campbell is adviser. Other officers are: Michael Buggy, vice president; Joyce Schofield, sec retary; Dolores McGee, treasurer. The players will make their first appearance before the student body November 19 when they will stage a skit during a dance intermission. The committee arranging for the productionette is made up of Nick Cabello, Joe Skiptosky, Niel Lewel lyn, Dolores Kolisick, Eleanor Wag ner and Beverly Silverman. Other activities on the club pro gram for the semester are the pro duction of three act plays, several WAZL radio shows, theater parties, trips to the campus to see stage pro ductions, and attending one of Mari an Brown's readings.
