Council- Attends
Harrisburg Confab
The Student Council of the Hazle-
Penn State Center attended anrnter-
Center conference in Harrisburg on
March 17, 18 and 19. This jneeting
was called by the Inter-Center Coun
cil to discuss and draw up a basic
constitution to serve as a model for
all of the various Penn State Centers.
Erie, Potts Ville, Harrisburg and Haz
leton were represented at this con
ference.
A rough draft of this basic consti
tution was compiled and is being dis
ctiesed and modified to meet the needs
of the individual centers by their re
spective councils. More on this doc
ument will be released later after due
deliberation and modification.
JESTERS DRILL
DILLIGENTLY
By DAVE EVANS
The Penn State Center's Dramatics
Club is holding long and hard re
hearsals to whip into shape their
spring presentation, "The Importance
of Being Earnest." This comedy will
be presented on two consecutive even
ings, April 19 and 20, at Genetti's
Theater - Restaurant. "Importance"
will be staged in arena style.
The story revolves around the fact
that Gwendolyn-and Cecily have fal
len in love with the name of Ernest
and have decided that they will not
marry anyone /with another name.
Because they are in love with these
girls, Algy and Jack both pretend to
be named Ernest. All of which leads
to many complicated situations and
produce one of 'the sophisticated com
edies for which Oscar Wilde is so
famous.

Six Days of Leisurely
Lolling Indicated
Shortest Week Of Year
Now Begins
Like an oasis in the middle of the
Sahara, the spring vacation has come
in the middle of the semester. This will
be a greatly-appreciated stop for the
travellers judging from comments of
the camel drivers. Students oast revel
in the luxury of six days without addi
tional assignments and recover from
the effects of air d-semester exams.
This mid-season stopover is usually
the time for renewed promise to one's
self of harder and more intelligent
study. In short, •the famous saying
of this period will be something like,
"I hereby promise to myself that I
will faithfully and dilligently do all
of the assignments; even keep ahead
of the class. I will now buckle down
and raise those eight week grades to
`threes.' All it takes is a little. will
power, and I can do it!"
A note of caution—the oasis simile
was meant to be literary only, not ne-ddlilli
cessarily indicating that the "travel
lers" should now catch up on the
drinking which they have been forced
to abandon on the last eight-week
desert.
Seriously, . . . . take yourself a
real vacation, rest, play, do anything
you, please, but have fun doing it.
There is just one thought to carry
with you—the caravan resumes the
trek on Tuesday morning April 11th,
promptly at 8:30.
Mooney, Gallagher
And McGee
Win Election
"Shades of St. Patrick"
The. elections which were held to
fill the positions vacated at the end
of the first semester resulted in the
following selections:
John Mooney—President of the So
phomore Class.
Neil Gallagher Sophomore Class
Council Member.
Dolores Kobrick Sophorore Class
Secretary.
Ed McGee Fretshman Class Sec
retary.
The most outstanding aspect of this
"election" was the fact that the only
office which was contested by another
candidate was that of the Sophomore
President. The rest of the budding
politicians of the student body must
have fallen asleep.
