GRIPE BOX CAN BE
WORTH SOMETHING
This newspaper has initiated a
gripe box, the results of which were
'printed for the 'first time two weeks
ago. Through it the people of this
school are being given the Chance to
bring out in the open some pet idea.
Although the word "gripe" may
not connote the most 'desirable con
dition, the gripe box column has not
been established with the idea of
causing trouble in general.
The editorial • staff of this newspa
per visualizes such a move as a way
through which improvements can be
accomplished at the Hazleton Cen
ter. The staff agrees with the ed
itors of the Penn State Extension
News who claim that "Education is
everybody's business." Only when it
is everybody's business can educa
tion serve the most people.
' Hazleton Center's family of over
400 people are urged to submit sug
gestions to the gripe box column.
To rightfully give the box a chance
to function 'properly, the suggester
and the suggested to must approach
the, subject from all angles with an
open mind.
As the term progresses, more stu
dent leaders appear on the scene and
this newspaper believes firmly that
these leaders have received, and are
certain to receive, the support of a
fair—minded faculty and student
government group. This school has
thrived for many years with a stu—
dent-faculty relationship impossible
at larger schools. •
This success which has been noted
in extra-curricular activities can be
duplicated in the actual business of
education. To this end the services
of the gripe box column have been
dedicated.
GOOD FOR US
Let no one think that a college re
tires to its classrooms and test tubes
when it's time for community service
—at least not this - college.
Tomorrow night a group of Penn
Center students will take part in the .
"Hazleton Talent On Parade" show
It's for the benefit of a building fund
in no way connected with the college.
The students and teachers are doing
it as a community `service.
It's good advertisement for the
college and it's a good example for
the town.

THOUGHTS IN THE
BREEZE
Mention has been made by way of
the Gripe Box of the limited amount
of tickets available to Penn State
games. A few facts about tickets for
the past football game, Penn-Penn
State, leave no traces of mystery
over circulation. Penn State College
was allotted exactly -,000 tickets,
according to a member of the facul
ty. Secondly, faculty members and
students number more than 9,000
combined. Hint: 2 and 2 egual 4.
What really is up to this point inex
plicable is why Penn State was al
lotted 2,000 tickets when the seating
capacity of Franklin Field is an es
timated 80,000 ? ? ?
On November 22, Marquis Childs,
author and lecturer of world-wide
recognition, is going to speak at the
Teachers' Forum. Rumors have it
that his speech will concern the re
cent presidential election. History
students particularly and speech stu
dents are intending to sit in for fur
ther development and better under
standing of their courses ...
In case any student is faced with
the question of how to get to the
campus, there are two possible routes
he can take if he travels by bus.. .
They are• by way of Wilkes-Barre,
Capitol Bus Line, and Berwick. Ber
wick, however, is thought to be the
better of the two. On this trip, pass
engers get on the Berwick bus in
Hazleton and change at Berwick,
where the Greyhound bus goes di
rectly into State College. The time
required for this trip is between 3
and a half to four hours.
COLLEGIAN STAFF WILL
MEET TODAY AT 4
There will be another meeting of
the Hazleton Collegian staff this
afternoon at four o'clock. The meet
ing will be held in room 13 in the
Walnut Street building.
All members of the newspaper's
staff are urged to attend this session
in order to plan for the November 24
edition of the collegian.

BLUE BOOKS AT THE
COLLEGE BOOK STORE
Students have been wondering
just where are their Blue Books
and what became of the money
they paid for these books.
For the information of all who
have not as yet learned of their
where-a,bouts, they are at the book
store.
They have not been passed out to
the instructors as in previous years,
because the method of distribution
has been changed.
Students are now 'required to
pick their blue books up at the book
store and bring them to class when
ever their instructors inform them
to do so.
