STAFF EDITOR JOHN MOONEY ASSOCIATE EDITOR, this issue LARRY LIDZ WRITERS: HENRY PAVLICK. DAVE EVANS, JEANNE McGRORY FRANK FELLIN, MARION JANOSKY SPORTS RALPH PERILLA PHOTOGRAPHER -HAROLD FILBERT A MODEST PROPOSAL Students, administrators, and faculty members all agree that some form of all-college assembly is desirable, even necessary, in any school. I quote from page 12 of The Pennsylvania State 'College Bul letin for Credit Centers "Assembles—Provision is made in each Center for regular student assemblies planned and conducted by the student ,bodies. Programs of interest, featuring student presentations, education al motion pictures, prominent speakers, and the like, will be pre sented throughout the College year." We have never had an all-college meeting yet. There are two concrete obstacles to any form of school meet ing here at the Hazleton Center—namely ; the time and the place. Up until the present time these two considerations have preven ted any such program; but even concrete can he blasted with dy namic planning and action. The following suggestions are offered, not as a panacea, but rather as an example of what might be done. The time . . . Because the class schedule runs continuously from 8:30 to 4:30, no suitable free time is available. Why not, then, suspend one class, preferably in the 12:30-1 :30 time area when most students are on the campus. The day and hour of each as sembly could be varied to distribute these "cuts" widely. The place . Botany 101, our largest single classroom, would be taxed to the utmost by a meeting of all sudents and faculty—but it could be done. With the advent of spring ,no housing problem need exist—the campus lawn or the athletic field could serve nicely. If and when the proposed gymnasium is erected, this part of the problem would be permanently and comfortably solved. That this sort of arrangement would cause a great deal of work and inconvenience is evident, but worth of such an un dertaking far outweighs the trouble. The sense of unity and fa miliarity bred by such all-college assemblies would boost sagging school spirit, insure a well informed student-body and finally make each student feel that those persons charged with his guid ance are genuinely interested in it. Last semester the Student Cou i ncil had actively solicited stu dent interest and participation in council activities by publicly posting the time of meeting and extending a general invitation for all to attend. The response was negligible, and with good rea son. ... Or Two HAZLETON COLLEGIAN AS , Stf IT ,t One of the major cigarette compa nies was 'generously handing out sam ples. We can't mention the brand name but some "lucky" students man aged to garner more than one pack. I== Ray. Bodner's Valentine Party seemed to be two floors below the school-sponsored affair. CM= Miss Garbrick has evidently added a new musical instrument to her,rep ertoire the -castanets . She's quite good. Sissy and Beau have replaced Hank and Joyce as "Highacres Honeys." EMM:3 Rollie Turnbach manages to coax his "Green Monster" through the storms all the way from Sheppton every day. En= George and Charlie have developed into real short-order men in short or der. The cheers were heart-warming when John Adams brought the first busload of eight o'clock commuters all the way to the door of "Old Main." Why didn't someone think of it before? IM:Mri Chad McCracken seemed to have appointed himself "Ambassador of Good Will" to, the visiting Pottsville co-eds. The phone for student use—a pay phone—is in a poor location for pri vacy and a fine location for noise. =MI "The Berwick Bus Is Best For Bussing" . . . . that's , a new song written by Marie and Steve. Sam Bass has really met his "Ca lamity Janet." I== Miss Neifert really didn't start the congestion on the hill one icy morn ing; she was a victim of circumstan tial evidence. CM:=l The campaigning by all candidates certainly won't annoy anyone. I hear Syd is going to give Charles ton lessons at the Dance Club. Council meetings are held on alternate Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. Due to the transportation conditions, commuter stu dents leave for Hazleton as soon as possible and by the first means possible. The last bus is scheduled for 4:35, and the ma jority of students has gone before that time. In a few words—it isn't plausible to expect studepts other than the dormitory men to remain after 4:30. If the council wants to be seen in action why not schedule a meeting for the student lounge at some period which will cause the least inconvenience to council members? With the wider par ticipation of students in council activities then possible, true student desires and opinions can be ascertained.

HARRISON, Librarian WELCOME MILT (Continued From Page One) dined to disagree with him, but sel dom dislike him. Even though we haven't seen much of him because he doesn't officially become president until July, we are certain that a finer choice could not have been made.
