Page Two TAXATION BUT NO REPRESENTATION On the front page of the paper is a story that should interest every student at the Center who paid an activity fee, especially the sopho mores. The activity fee which you pay is pooled with every other stu dent's to pay for the expenses of col lege activities. But just how much should be alloted to one particular social affair is another proposition. That is decided by members of the Council which you elected. However, due to three vacancies in the sophomore class wing, the sopho mnres have only one representative in their ranks. The Council has made it quite clear that no election will be conducted unless the students de •anand it! At the last meeting of Council a suggestion was made to cut all "un necessary" expenses even more this semester than the past one. Is that 0. K. with you, sophomores? Your representative expressed her opinion that not all of you think the same way. There is action in unity. Now is the time for you to speak up unless it makes no difference what Council does with your money. Your repre sentative wants to know.. SHOULD SEE ADVISER Many students who failed subjects might have prevented such misfor tune if they had only seen their ad visers. For the convenience of the students, advisers have been posted on the bulletin board but heedless students paid no attention. Advisers are appointed and are 'iling to help the student with any problem he might have. If he is fail ing, the adviser tries to plan his work with him so that he can pull his grades up. At the four-weeks mark ing it would prove fruitful for many doubtful students to go in to their counselors and see how their grades stand. AN OPEN LETTER What is "School Spirit?." That is the qfiestion I'm asking the student body of our Hazleton Undergraduate Center. The cheerleading squad is only as good as the student body makes it. We tried to build up the school spirit this season. I think we did succeed a little bit. It was very gratifying to have a crowd respond so well and willingly. We have a championship basket ball team this year and I'll bet 85% haven't even seen them play one sk*, HAZLETON COLLEGIAN PUBLISHED SEMI-MONTHLY BY THE STUDENTS OF THE HAZLETON CENTER Editor June Reinmiller Sports Editor Dick Bagby Photographer Walter Stone Typist Anna Peifer _ BROAD STREET BUREAU Joe Olivia Gene Kostick STAFF WRITERS Beverly Silverman, Sheldon Vilensky, Mary Lou Pollock, Bill Baran, George Sarkis, Ernest Denke, Bob Sacco, Sam Cerminaro, Ursoline Imbriac, Stan Pasda game. Yes we do have a gang of school spirited fans but that isn't enough support. We need everyone to help the Hucsters carry our college to fame. Now let us introduce the members of the team who worked hard during the season to keep the good reputa tion of the Center. First of all we have "Pete" Garber who takes the major role both of Pen sively and defensively; he is relieved by "Whitey" Gerhard. At the for ward positions we have "Bill" Gard ner and "Satch" Kostick who play bang-up games. These two boys are assisted by Brice Martin and "Chichie" Lamonica. At our guard position s "Jackie" Sipple and "Swish" Talerovich play hard ball with their sensational basket markers. Petcavich and Makofsky come to their aid. Our sport season of 1948-1949 is almost over but we * still have " - our most important games to play. On March 4 and 5 the team will go to Dußois for the PJCAA Tourna ment. In order to have a winning team give the boys your word of con fidence and encouragement. Pm sure the basketeers of the Ha zleton Penn State Center will carry home the championship trophy this year so— Good luck! Captain of Cheerleaders, Grace Heppe COMMENTS ON DANCE Favorable comments were heard following the Valentine Dance which was held at Genetti's. The gay Valen tines hanging from the ceiling evid enced the 'work done by the people on the Activities Board. They are also deserving of all the sincere re marks passed along later about the cozy and inviting atmosphere Genet ti's affords. THREE LITTLE WORDS According to a recent survey the sweetest trios of words in ,the English language are: I love you. Dinner is served. All is forgiven. Sleep till noon. Keep the change. Here's that fiver. And the saddest: Buy me one. Out of gas. Dues not paid. Funds not sufficient External use only. Rest in peace. HAZLETON COLLEGIAN Offer 'Awards To Women.

But number Three had twelve good friends, And number Eight, eleven, And Willie found to his surprise He now was Forty Seven. And tho the people far up front Were moving quite a lot The longer Willie stood in line The farther back he got. This struck the boy as mighty silly But lunchtime never came for Willie.

All good things must end, and so it was with our wonderful ten day semester vacation. Now we are back with hopes of making threes. One can dream, can't one Welcome to all new students at Hazleton Center and welcome back all students who have survived from last semester. It is nice to see your smiling faces. As anyone can tell you, it's "what you do with what you got." So for the few remaining rnianths that we will have in our present buildings, let's do just that. If we are not so fortunate to have Highacres as our future home, then plans would be made to liven up the lounge. Did you hear that Janet S. spent the last weekend in Philadelphia? Miss Margaret Wood flew home to Boston last weekend to attend a wedding. Who is it that fouled Polly up when she was given wax for can dy? Here is the luck of the Irish: Cissy McGee lost her wallet at Thomas' on the way to the Keystone game; how ever after Coach Syd Rudman phoned from Keystone, Cissy was as sured that it will be waiting for her after the game. Certainly was a good excuse to stop on the way back home. What is this about Brice Martain following the footsteps of Magellan in navigation Brice was the navag ator on the basketball trip to. Key stone Junior College. While the team has lost Squirrely for manager, he tries to attend most of the games chaperoned by his Cute little sister. Watch for it! H.U.C.'s basketball team had their pictures taken for the city newspapers. Incid ently Pete Garber and Swish Talero vich have been elected co-captains for the team. Congratulations, fellas. In one of the Comp. 5 classes Mooney states he is in love. Hidden talents? Expose them. What do you say, J.S.? The Colle gian can use your original cartoons and poems. I am sure that Delores Lee, one of last semester's cheerleaders, has the best wishes of all her friends for a speedy recovery. If you want to buy, sell or lend books, tars or whatever the case may be, let us know by putting an ad in the classified section of this paper. This is another accommodation to you free of charge. Deposit your ad in the Collegian office; someone is always there. On behalf of the student body the Collegian is extending congratula lations to Mr. and Mrs. Mattern on their recent marriage.

The Nittany Lion, a store monu ment on the campus sculpted by Warneke, once again has suffered at the hands of malicious vandals; they poured a can of red paint over his head and front paws. Sports editor Stan Caughey and reporter John Maher of the Stan dard-Sentinel, local newspaper, en rolled at the Center in February. The first year the Hazleton Under graduate Center was established it had a library of three volumes.
