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*,

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!

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.

—High Points
There was a line, a mighty line
Before the lunchroom door,
And Willie, waiting for his lunch
Was number Twenty-four.
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.

Hi, all. 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

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.

for the team. Congratulations, fellas.

I am sure that Delores Lee, one of
last semester's cheerleaders, has the
best wishes of all her friends for a
speedy recovery.
