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..

THOUGHTS IN THE .
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.

give her as token of remembrance.
Available also are auto tags and
stickers; stationery with Penn State

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.
