This time the bridegroom is Milton Eisenhower. The name Eisenhower brings to mind Milton's brother, "Ike," a general of wartime fame, now retired as head of Columbia University. Milton is known for his ability to make friends with students by chatting informally on the campus with them, and his famous "open door policy" where students are free to consult him at any time. Public speaking seems to have a great demand for Milton; this is only natural for he is one of _it's top organ izers. He likes to paint with water colors and oils when time allows. At home he enjoys playing Bach and Beethoven on the electric organ. A very rabid sport fan, he injured a leg when he became excited during a bas ketball game last year at Kansas. While attending Kansas State he was city editor of the Abiline Daily News, then became managing ed itor of the Collegiate, the campus newspaper, and founded a student humor magazine, Brown Bull. Public speaking earned him the extempora neous speech an•d oratorical contests award in Missouri. After graduation he was assistant journalism professor while he continued his studies. He served as Associate Director of the Office of War Information until 1943 when he became president of Kansas State. The students at Kansas State were soon captured by his ami able charm as he seemed to mingle with them on the campus or be seen enjoying a milk shake with them in some obscure spot. His personality is hard to , describe—people may be. in- (Continued On Page Two) a3tetott HAZLETON CENTER, HIGHACRES, R. D. 1, HAZLETON, PA. ROTC This semester the Collegian will pursue a policy of featuring one of the departments or programs in cluded in the curriculum or under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania State College in Hazleton. We will present the past achievements and proposed projects of these departments along with some of the human interest high lights of each. In this issue we will feature the military side of the cur riculum—the compulsory elementary R.O.T.C. courses. The Scope The Reserve Officers' Training Course is indeed a compulsory course for all Freshman and Sophomore male students who qualify physically. Many people are under the impres sion that the work covered in class pertains only to military life and mil itary •courses. This is a common falla cy as the veteran Rotocee student will gladily testify. The R.O.T.C. manual includes many things that are equally applicable to the life of a civilian as y(mi DA E cac We print herewith the Official Col lege Calendar to inform our readers of the exact dates of, a few important occasions: April 4 Tuesday ....

First aid, map reading, and life-saving are in the make-up of a first-class citizen as well as a first-class fighting man. Ob jection has been and always will be raised to the drill work; however, we must keep in mind that the prime ob ject of drilling is the development of discipline and leadership. Who can deny the importance of those quali ties to anyone? The military training is, therefore, to be regarded not only as a military preparedness measure of the government but as a material ad dition to the educational resources of the college. Approximately 1,000 hon or graduates of R.O.T.C. units will be offered Regular Army commissions annually. Here at Highacres we have two separate branches of the service. There is an Air R.O.T.C. Unit in structed by Technical Sergeant Flar tey, and an Army Unit with Master Sergeant Gordon in command.

Elections Will Be Held The balloting for selection of candidates to fill several offices vacated last semester is being held Tuesday, March 7, and Wednes day, March 8. The actual voting will take place in English composition and litera ture classes. Any student who is not enrolled in either composition or literature classes can obtain a ballot in the Hall of "Old Main." "A Tale of 2 Cities" HUC ENTERTAINS POTTSVI LLE ROOTERS Immediately after the Hazleton- Pottsville basketball game Monday, February 22, an informal party and dance was held in the lounge and snack bar here at Highacres. Details of the game, won by HUC, appear on the sports page. The details of the "Welcome Potts ville" party include bus transporta tion which was furnished out to the campus from the A. D. Thomas School gym. A "midnight snack" at ten o'clock was prepared by one of the kitchen staff she won't allow her name to be used—but the barbe cue wasn't bad. Dancing to the music of Miss Garbrick's "juke box" was en joyed and much conversation, intel lectual and otherwise, was exchanged. The Pottsville and Hazleton Under graduate centers have staged recipro cal "welcomes" following basketball games for the past several years. These welcomes are unique to us in that they are our only contact with a brother institution. The enjoyment and broadening of 'contacts which this affair afforded would seem to indi cate that more inter-school affairs would be in order. YORK ROOTERS WOW HAZLETON An impressive display of solidarity and team spirit greeted those few Hazleton rooters who were on hand to witness the York-HUC battle on Saturday night, February 25. When a team travels approximately 150 miles to play a game in a confer ence which they have already won, and its rooters far outnumber the home-town fans—that's enthusiasm. The fired York students organized a band and marched noisily around the gym floor. The band uniforms were a bit unorthodox shorts, long underwear, brogues, tuxedos, swords, ad infinitum .... but the total effect was very comical. Scores of student and adult rooters kept things moving all through the bitterly contested game. The margin of victory of York's basketeers wasn't large. How large might it have been if there were an equal number of Hazleton rooters to balance the cheers? And thereby hangs the tale. ON LEGS AND CONTESTS The Collegian has received an anonymous note suggesting that it sponsor a school-wide contest to de termine which of our co-eds has the most beauti f u 1 legs. Strangely enough or perhaps not so strangely the handwriting seems to be a wom an's. A committee has been appointed to study the proposal. Any volun teers? We hope that we are not going too far "out on a limb" with this matter. MARCH 7, 1950
