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.

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.

certain that a finer choice could not
