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

"The Berlin Crisis" is expected .to

International Relations Club holds
its third meeting next Wednesday at
noon in room W-17. An invitation is

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.

their heads it's names of rocks'
The geology classes are planning a
trip to Crystal CaVe October 26.
Good luck to State grad, Ted Alex,

radio when no one is listening. Re

the student body.
Bet you never knew five of the
freshman coeds are majors in physi

Watch for it! Starting next week
a gripe box is going to be placed in
