The College Council of the Hazle
ton Undergraduate Center held its
first meeting of the 1949-50 term at
Highacres.
The first issue discussed was the
measure passed by the College Coun
cil of the previous year, to have a
"Customs Effigy Dance". By unani
mous decision, it was decided to out
law the idea of a customs dance, and
change it to a Halloween Dance.
Committees were appointed and offi
cial rules for the council to follow
were discussed. The meeting was then
adjourned until the next meeting.

met on October 24, in which an ac
count was itemized and presented of
the Halloween Dance.
The Council was then informed
that all buying must be through the
central agency, the cafeteria.
A problem was then brought up
concerning the dance checkers and
doorman. After several suggestions,
the prblem was solved. The next top
ic for discussion was that of safety
and smoking regulations.
A committee was appointed by the
Council to penalize all violators.
A social committee was then ap
pointed to plan all dances and acti-

The last regularly scheduled class
of the 1948 Fall Semester will come
to a close at 12:20 p.m. on Saturday,
January 28. Final examinations will
commence shortly; in the afternoon,
to be exact. Last lectures are being
delivered, term papers and notebooks
are being whipped into shape, and
much midnight oil has been ordered.
All these are true portents that it will
be no great length of time until the
work, sweat, tears, yes, and even
laughs of "one-half year of college
will be memories.
Eveyone should, if he hasn't done
so, make out a schedule of the time
and place of his particular final ex
amination from the schedules posted
prominently around the building. Do
not be caught glancing furtively into
every classroom, looking for familiar
faces. Why not be sure?
Over fifty students, mostly sopho
mores, are leaving lofty Highacres
for crowded Campus. Many of these
transferees are technical students
who must take certain courses una
vailable here.
STUDY PARTIES
ARE IN VOGUE
If you haven't already been doing
it or made plans to do. so—why not
investigate the "Study Party" plan
of reviving dead and marshalling
scattered facts ? From personal ob
servation the past several days this
reporter notes that informal groups
of students from one particular class
have been gathering for one or two
hour seminars to go over the work of
the semester. This sounds like a fine
way of hearing other people's view
points and garnering a few facts
which someone else has stored in his
sub-conscious. You might help some
one else, too, in the process.
This is just a suggestion offered in
the interest of better grades for all—
a truly noble motivation, no?
A few details follow; and that's all
the details there are, a few. Get to
gether a group of four to six people
who are fellow-sufferers in some
course (making sure at least one of
the group is.pulling a three), find an
empty classroom, library. table, aban
doned yacht, or living room (eve
nings only), fill your pen and start to
talk—the rest should come naturally.
THE GERMAN CLUB held a so
cial gathering here at Highacres on
Wednesday evening. There was danc
in the dining room, and light re
freshments were served. Miss Anna
Erlemann, club advisor,. planned the
affair and informed us that this was
the last affair of the semester for the
organization.
