CLASSIFI EPAGED ADS , ateton ' 4 , Vol. XI. No. 3 Last year after the Christmas holidays, students returned to the center aglow over a new project—their own recreation alb, which was already to swing into action the next Friday. It re mained only for a few names to be scratched upon the dotted line. Unfortunately, plans for the club vaporized, and there fol lowed a weeping, a wailing and a gnashing of some teeth. , Eventually the club was forgotten. Every so often discussion groups are heard wistfully visioning another recreation club for the students. Such a project, if it ever materialized, would probably fall flat on its face Where are the facts to support this charge? They're down at the Y.M. indoor swimming pool on Thursday night when, not one of 34 women students appears to take advantage of a much coveted privilege in the community, The facts stare you in the face in the two bowling alleys at the Y.M. reserved for the wo men Friday night. They echo through the barren Y.W. gym with a juke-box and smooth dance floor at the command of Club X, Ping pong tables, cards, dart boards and refreshment stand evidence no interest. Is it because these activities cost too much? On the contrary, fees are at a minimum; in some cases, reduced. Don't students have the time? Fraternities and sororities at the campus contra dict that alibi. Don't students enjoy good, clean fun? Previous dances nullify that. Therefore the student body is found guilty of the only re maining reason, lack of interest. Where do the students' inter ests lie? Students who do not participate in extra-curricular ac tivities are not genuinely interested in their college! A Challenge You say this isn't true? It's your right to disagree. Here is a challenge, an opportunity to defend your school spirit. It's a challenge to you to swim and bowl at the Y. to pack Club X and to make things hum. It's a case of put up or—that's right—do without the aid and co-operation of others if you won't go half way.

(Continued from page 2) THE PHILADELPHIA rig an STORY, PAGE 3 •- HAZLETON, PA. A college-wide social will be held next Friday evening in the Hazleton YWCA. This will be in the form of a dance with music by Larry Klatch's combo. During intermission the Penn State' Jesters will present a program of "'Gay Nineties Review." Refresh ments are to be available. This is the first dance to be held at the YWCA and marks a change in Activities Board policy. The board, which staged previous dances in larger halls, believes the smaller hall, with other activities for non-dancers, will be better for the student body. The smaller hall is cheaper, the board points out, and money saved can be used for refreshments. Dress for the affair is to be informal. Fifty nurses and telephone oper ators have been invited to the dance. The hall is to be decorated by a com mittee made up of James Geffert, Grace Hepp, Mary Louise Pollock, and Beverly Silverman. Other standing committee chair men are: hall, Jack Sipple and Red Williams; band, John Wersinger and Williams; refreshments, Paul Pueillo and Burt Minehin; invitation, Ken (Continued on page 4) November 15, 1948 Students To Plan Spring Schedules Students returning to •the Hazle ton Center for the next semester, which starts in February, have been asked to fill out a tentative schedule of classes.
