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.

Bureau Serves
Students Here
Ralph .Krecker
The Hazleton Center's Employ
ment Bureau, operated by Econom
ics Professor Ralph Krecker, main
tains a constant contact with Hazie
ton's Merchants' Council and the
city Chamber of Commerce. This
college service, for use by students
here, is being used as a clearing
house for incoming requests for stu
dent part-time help.
Krecker pointed out that students
desiring part-time employment can
file this information with the college
bureau:
- 1. Type of work desired.
2. Experience in work desired
3. Hours available
With the approach of the holiday
season, there is usually an increased
demand for student help in many o
the city's business places. It will be
through this service that requests
will be 'passed on to the students of
the Hazleton center. It has been ad
vised that students who might be
seeking holiday employment or part
time work throughout the year
should submit the needed informa
tion to the student bureau,
The bureau headquarters are lo
cated in Professor Krecker's office on
the first floor of the Walnut Street
building. To date several positions
have been filled with students
through the school's employment
clearing house. Desk clerking and
radio station assignments have been
among the types of positions taken
over by center students.

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

ton Center for the next semester,
which starts in February, have been
asked to fill out a tentative schedule
of classes. These students will be in

general class schedule can be laid out
for the entire school for the Spring
semester.
Students who are eligible for
transfer to the main campus at State
College are to report to Administra
tive Head Amos Goss during the
week of December 6.

This schedule has been issued for
students remaining in Hazleton:
Week of November 29—a1l third
semester students.
Week of December 6—All second
semester students and first semester
liberal arts students.
Week of December 13—All first
semester students, except those ta
king liberal arts.
Both the offices occupied by Goss
and Kostos are located in the Walnut
