Greetings, hepcats! Here is a new

latest in music here at the Center- as
well as the best selling records and
sheet music uptown.
As you may have heard by now,
Miss Pearl Garbrick along with two
representatives from the Center are

tion conference in Baltimore, Md.
We hope to have the highlights of
this conference in the next Collegian.
Prof. Fishburn, president of the
association, has scheduled 119 events
for the four-day period so that there
will be something \of interest to ev
eryone in the music teaching field.
The convention will have general ses
sions and sectional meetings devoted
to various levels and fields in music
teaching. Concert groups from public
schools and colleges from all over the
East are attending.
Did you know that the "Genetti
Hour" with Fred Houser at the
Hammond has left the air for a short
while? When N.B.C. schedules are
adjusted you may again hear this
popular organ wizard over WAZL.
Also to change programs is Miss
Pearl Garbrick and her "Serenade
From the Pen of the Masters." For
merly heard at 10:30 p.m. Wednes
day nights, she has switched over to
8:30 p.m. Monday nights in place of
Allan Roth.
From Woodring's "Melody Cor
ner" comes the word that "A, You're
Adorable" and "Need You," both by
Jo •Stafford and Gordon McCrae for
RCA Victor, are tops on the list of
best-selling records. Also high•on the
list is Galway Bay by Bing Crosby

Front
And
Center
Up front with bank Zeigler and
the latest Center chatter.
Rumors are flying at the Center
about this one and that one. The old
gossip is really buzzin'! A few of the
students in the social light are:
Janet and Joyce who had a hard
time getting to the Tournament at
Dubois. Just why did they want to go
in the first place?
Ed Erotus, an ace at sociology,
startled everyone including Dr. Ram
say when he recited in class the
other day. But then w(ho wouldn't re
cite when the subject was Lana Tur
ner? Ed's comment was rather favor
able.
A new club has beeil formed at the
Broad Street building called the
"Mummy club." It wat3 inspired by a
magazine cartoon. Ruinor has it that
Mr. James Steele is the acting ad
viser.
Since A. John learned to play pi
nochle at the beginning of the semes
ter, he has been going at it hot and
heavy. He is willing to teach anyone
his newly found recreation. Mr.
Aruffo can be found in the lounge
six hours a day.
Four cars traveled caravan style to
York. Joe, the manager, was in Mrs.
G's car. She brought up the rear
since she wasn't sure of the way.
She consulted Joe who was quite sure
of the directions. When the group
stopped to eat at Childs' Restaurant
(which Swish said was "a restaurant
for children") Mrs. G was no longer
with them. What was the matter,
Joe ? Get lost ?
Speaking of cars, Bob Breisch
drove his into a snow bank on James
street. Now ; wasn't that stupid ?
Looking at the women again, Bob, or
did the snow blind you ? Hmmmm?

Campus CaMpaign
A week ago several Hazletonians
began spreading the good word
among themselves to "vote for Mary
Lou." It took about 24 hours for the
fire to spread and Saturday morning
pictures of Hazleton's entry ap
peared on every post in the large .
mess hall serving , Nittany Dorms and
Pollock Circle.
Friday night a Hazleton boy who
attended the Bible Fellowship meet
ing claimed he had "50 votes lined
up." During the weekend Hazleton
students were swinging the dorms in
line for a last ditch' stand for Mary
Lou.
The morning that pictures of the
five entries appeared, comment heard
'by Mountain City students in all
classes was "The one on the right's
the prettiest." The one on the right
was Mary Lou.
Working on these encouraging de
velopments, the Pollock backers
started a second concentrated drive
early Monday morning and the out
come will be known tonight.

In these days of psych analysis
ev
eryone is entitled to at le t one com
plex. If you wake up in the morning
greeting grandma with/an axe in
stead of the usual kiss, we propose
you take complete inventory of your
personality by reading "A General
Introduction to Psychoavalysis" by
Sigmund Freud. In it he has given
a new conception of infancy, ado
lescence and character and has pro
vided a better understanding of the
unconscious and phenomena of sleep,
dreams and reveries. Another of
equal enlightment is "Brain and
Intelligence" by Ward C. Halstead
who sets forth a new theory concer
ning the brain and adaptive intellig
ence. If this supplementary reading
hasn't improved your lot we suggest
you head for Danville or some similar
institution of learning.
Yet perhaps your brains have sud
denly ,become petrified. In this case
you are a student of geology. There
fore we solve your problem by rec
ommending Hind's Geomorphology.
This book contains abundant illustra
tions supplement to the detailed in
formation of the origin and evolution
of the physical features of the earth.
"College Geology" •by Chamberlaine
and Salisbury has endeavored to pre
sent a general story of the earth's
history. •
Good books are the guide posts on
the road to happiness and knowledge.
Use the library.
OPENING A NEW BOOK
Here's an adventure! What awaits
Beyond these clouded, mysterious
gates?
Whom shall I meet, where shall I go ?
Beyond the lovely land I know ?
Above the sky,' across the sea ?
What shall I learn and feel and lie ?
Open, strange doors, to good or ill!
I hold my breath a moment still
Before the magic of your look
What will you do to me, 0 Book?
