Page Two TAKE AN ACTIVE IN TEREST IN STUDENT COUNCIL On the Front page of this issue of the Collegian is an account of the first Student Council meeting which was held Tuesday night. It would pay every student to read this story. Student Council opened its season with a rather active meeting on the part of every member. It was a con glomeration of ideas which must be expected at the initial meeting. The only solution to future prob lems is that these many ideas can be co-ordinated for the benefit of the students. These members have been elected to represent the students and the oa' way these conditions can effi e ciently represent the student body is to have the students make known their, desires. If you get the time attend these council meetings! It might be well if the parliamen tarian of Student Council would re serve a certain time during the meet ing when ,any visiting :students would be able to speak. One special time is advisable so students won't be breaking in on dis cussion at any time during a meet ing. This would not delay council in its. business. Students! Take an active interest in your student council. The corner down the cellar will get no one any thing because walls actually have no ears. TICKETS FOR GAMES Students here have expressed a de sire for tickets to football games in which Penn State's Nittany Lions are playing. This is an old and annual request but it might be worth considering on campus now, more than ever before. State College is more and more drawing in its Undergraduate Center chain as a really integrated part of the college. To increase interest in main cam pus activities, regardless of the dis tance involved, might pay any col lege dividends. The students at the centers would appreciate recognition and consideration on this matter.. ~ 3 1 Sr tdritk HAZLETON 5 .f..W) COLLEGIAN PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTHLY BY THE STUDENTS OF THE HAZLETON UNDERGRADUATE CENTER EDITOR WILSON BARTO Sports Editor Dick Bagby Photographer .

BREEZE By June Reinmiller For the benefit of the freshmen who do not know what a bluebook is, it is a pamphlet distributed after a period of time to determine how much knowledge has been diffused and absorbed. The color is self explanatory. The idea is to write as much as possible with as few mistakes as grades allow. Recommended by experienced groups is skipping every other line and writing large. In view of the mouth-watering fad being gulped across the country, here's hoping Miss Grace Thomas has her grasshoppers all locked up in formaldehyde. Mike Arlotto is very happy that he doesn't have any Biol ogy •class this semester. Bugs always make hiin itch so. We've often heard students ask what they wanted around here, blood? Well, three cheers for John ny Sabia. He very willingly parted with a pint of blood. Anyone desiring to know • -how to tie his tie, Robert German will be only too glad to oblige. German gave a very enlightening speech in class on this subject. We know it was en lightening because prior to its deliv ery, Johnny Parvensky admitted openly that his father tied his tie for him. 41/iSlib 0 HAZLETON COLLEGIAN Leisure T me Class Walnut Street Building.

November 1, 1948 The Real Student Tells Officers What He Thinks When asked by an 'inquiring re porter , what he did to earn his fifty thousand dollar salary, the executive of a large corporation replied that he was not paid for the things he did, but for the things he did not do The executive who can keep his board of directors or his subordin ates from doing foolish things is worth as much if not more than the executive who does things himself. A high-priced man has two sides to his business nature, ; the , positiye and the negative. - , The positive can be seen by _re sults. The negative can be seen be cause it, does not exist, It is just. as valuable . to have unwise policies pre vented as to have wise policies put into operation. The credit man who can throw out the unsafe credits is as valuable to his concern as the sales manager who. gets the business, perhaps more so. As this is true for an executive it is so for students at H.U.C. since for the time being, H.U.C. is in businesi. Help make it the duty of everyone at H.U.C. to be active in the activi ties program. If "you" are interested in a club activity that has not been formed, make inquiries about form ing such a club. The Student Council and the class officers have been elected. The, re maining part of the job is to see that they have the cooperation of all stu dents and the only way they can have this cooperation is for "yea" to inform the officers what you think. Compliments as well as gripes should be received for the benefit of H.U.C. Center Float In Mummers Pageant Th e Hutleton Undergraduate Center contributed in no small way to the success of the recent Mum mers' parade held in Hazleton. The float sponsored by HUC appeared in natural sequence in the parade. In fact everything was in natural sequence. The float was directly be hind the Tamaqua Redskins. As one sideline commentator exclaimed, "First came the Indians, then comes the corn." There were strings attached to the deal since behind the float was the Philadelphia string band. Most com mon of tre remarks heard along the line of march was the "Penn State or state •pen?" query. Sitting among the •corn stalls were Jean McGrory, June Reinmiller, Anella Miraldo and Mary Lou Pol lock. Seriously, though, . much credit goes to Bob Vilushis and Denny Conahan for their work in decora ting the float. The gathering of sup plies was done by Aaron Deitch, Don Kump, Jim Goeffert and Bob Holman. Drop in at the bookstore and have a look around. It's there to use.
