Friday, March 30, 1951 Hastings Hitting It As everyone probably knows, Mr. Rudman, our coach, is scheduled to leave for Germany sometime in April. His leaving brings up the question— What will happen to sports at HUC? Sports should be an integral part of all college activity. If you will just look at our own Penn State campus, you will readily see what an im portant part sports play in the col lege life. There are not only the varsity teams of football, basketball, etc., but there are also the intra mural sports. If one isn't good en ough to make the varsity team, he can always go out for one of the intra-mural teams. If one isn't quali fied for a particular sport, he can always find another sport which will appeal to him. For instance, if a boy would like to play football and he is too light, there is usually a place in basketball for him. We must also consider that participating in sports builds better citizens. It tends to teach us to respect the rights of others and develops community spirit by developing team spirit. Will we get someone to replace Mr. Rudman? By the looks of things I would say not, not until next year at least. In the meantime what will we do for spring sports? Fordham Tops H.U.C. Under the combined assistance of local boys Jerry Moye and Tommy Breslin, the Rams of Fordham U. were victorious over the Rudmanites on March 12, in the preliminary game of the annual Dream Game. The score was 80-72.

Committee On Books A committee to study the high cost of books to students has been ap pointed, the President told the facul ty. He said he had been disturbed both by high book costs and by the practice of frequent minor revisions in texts, which prevented students from saving money by buying used books. The President said he had talked o students who had paid up to $6O or books in one semester. "See you at the Barr's Loss Shocks Campus "What? You're kidding!" "I thought he'd never lose." "I never believed I'd see the day when he would lose." "I couldn't believe it. I thought it was all a mistake." "I was shocked to beat all hell." These. are a mere sampling of the quips Daily Collegian pollsters re ceived when they asked campus stu dents, "What was your first reaction to the news of Homer Barr's loss ?" Shock, surprise and disappointment reigned across the hills of State Col lege. The heretofore invincible wrest ler Homer Barr had been conquered by Dick Clark of Cornell. In the dressing room after the meet Clark stated that he felt as though he had wrestled three men. Clark's victory was one of sweet revenge. Two years ago, Barr had pinned him in 1:10 of the first period. Clark withdrew from competition last year in order that he might have one more year of eligibility left and in order that he would be in better con dition for his next meeting with this illustrious Homer Barr. For three years Homer Barr had not been beaten in Eastern wrestling competition. In these three years he had won twenty-three dual meet matches. For the first time in three years, Homer Barr looked helplessly up at the lights of a gymnasium. Fellin Testifies (Continued from page 2) knowledge of these clubs, I refuse to answer this question on prev ious grounds. Q. Have you made a contribution to the gym drive ? A. Yes, I pledged ten dollars. (A look of amazement covered the committee's face as the witness gave his first straight-forward answer.) Q. What do you do for your school? A. I walk up the hill. (The members of the committee and the specta tors roared with laughter.) Q. Where did you learn to give such replies ? A. On the television broadcasts of the Kefauver investigations. Fellin arose from his seat and ask ed how many more questions Mat tern wanted answered. Fellin pleaded with Mattern to allow him to leave the investigation proceedings if he (Fellin) would answer the next ques tion. Mattern replied that he had only two more questions to ask Fellin. Q. Are you acquainted with Rita Bradish? A. I know "a" Rita Bradish. Q. Are you aware that Rita Bradish, in her testimony, revealed to us that you had given her a dirty test tube caked with burnt sugar to put in her purse and throw away when she arrived home? A. I never gave Rita Bradish a test tube; I never gave her a thing. Furthermore, I never owned a test tube with burnt sugar. I nev er did an experiment with sugar. Mattern rushed out of his chair, pointed his finger at Fellin, and shouted, "Someone is lying, and I aim to find out whom!" Because Student Council did not appropriate funds to the Mattern committee, the committee dissolved that day. FN. Pts. 0-0 10 0-0 0 1-1 17 1-3 13 2-3 8 1-4 29 1-2 3 6-13 80 Fis.

HAZLETON COLLEGIAN Skaters Enjoy Council Party The Student Council sponsored a Roller Skating Party at the Arcadia Rink on Monday, March 5. Council really hit the jackpot in discovering the sports interests of H.U.C. stud ents, for 135, over 50% of the entire enrollment, whirled and twirled on their ball bearings. Many boys had to sit on the sidelines because their "dogs" were too large or their shoe sizes were too popular. The two medals for achievement should go to Mr. Steele and Gene Gibbons Mr. Steele for being champion of the non-floor-wipers and Gene for win ning his first encounter with a pair of wooden rollers. Eisenhower Answers (Continued from page 1) that suggestions would be welcomed "When he is appointed," said Camp bell, "some will be satisfied and some will not." He then read that since the successor will have "two strikes against him from the start" he will, however, with student co-operation better conditions all around. Student Reaction After Campbell read his prepared speech, he folded his speech, slipped it into his pocket, and left the room. His leaving was a great blow to the students who had been lured to the room by posters reading "Hear Mr. Campbell discuss our problems." Campbell felt that his speech would answer many questions in the stu dents' minds, but it gave them no in formation that they had not heard in rumor form. Discussion developed on the floor after Campbell's exit, Henry Giul iani's questions about obtaining cam pus approval for the removal of trees from the grounds and the painting of Main building had been left unan swered. Raymond Deitch inquired whether a fee for the upkeep of the building was not included in the $187.50 paid each semester by the students. In regard to the problem of painting the building and improv ing the blackboard space, Bernard McGee asked whether the Center, which has courses in Army and Air R.O.T.C. units, received any approp riation from the Federal Grant given to The Pennsylvania State College each year for carrying a curriculum in R.O.T.C. Because these students had expec ted answers to these questions and because Campbell had refrained from answering any questions, the stud ents unanimously approved Bernard McGee's demand for resolute action in the form of a petition that would secure a competent authority from the Main Campus to explain college policies. Petition Committee Formed A Petition Committee consisting of Paul Williams, Lewis Giuliani, Hugh ie Brennan, Joseph Hastings, Frank Thomsen, Nick Kramer, Carl Chris topher, Bernard McGee, and Eugene Kantner drew up a petition appealing to President Eisenhower to send a campus authority, preferably J. O. Keller, to answer questions in an open unbiased discussion. The over whelming response of the students to sign this petition revealed the vast interest of the student body in this project.

Faculty Affected by Retrenchment Five faculty members were notified that their contracts would not be renewed next year because of the expected drop in enrollment for the fall term. They are Joseph Pavone, Syd Rudman, Anna Erlemann, Frederick Ciletti. and Joseph Fisher. Last year eight other instructors were released, bringing the total drops to thirteen within two years. Instructors who remain at the Center have been warned that they may have to split their teaching assignments between Pottsville and Hazleton Centers. Who will teach engineering, drawing, German, English composition and literature at the Center next year is not known at this time. Appoint ments will probably be made from the instructor surplus on the rolls in Central Extension. Joseph Pavone Joseph Pavone, instructor in en gineering drawing, is one of the five instructors who will leave the Center upon completion of the Spring Sem ester. Mr. Pavone received a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering at Clarkson College of Technology, Pots dam, N. Y., in 1929. He has been a member of the faculty at H. U. C. since 1946, and is known to many of his students as "Uncle Joe." When ever problem arises, Mr. Pavone is always ready to sit down and talk it over. He will be missed by the en gineering students. Anna Erleman Miss Anna Erlemann, instructor in German and Spanish, received her B.A. degree in 1944 from Adelphi College, New York, and her M.A. de gree from Columbia in 1945. Miss Erlemann has been with the Center since 1947 and has gained the love and respect of every student. A woman of great enthusiasm and energy, she has excelled in her wil lingness to help out in extra-curri cular activities -- social and educa tional here at the Center. Miss Erlemann plans to go to Penn State this summer for further study in chemistry. Beyond that her plans are indefinite. Frederick Ciletti Mr. Fred Ciletti, another instruc tor who leaves at the end of this semester, received his B. A. from Penn State in 1949 Mr. Ciletti, in structor in English composition and English literature, has been with the Center for the past year. His great efforts to enlarge the library and its facilities have been appreciated by all. Mr. Ciletti's plans are indefinite. Joseph Fisher Joseph Fisher, instructor in Eng lish composition, came to Highacres in 1950 and has been with the Center only a year. However, he attended the Center as a student in 1946 and 1947, and for this reason, can look at H.U.C. from two points of view. Mr. Fisher's other undergraduate work was done at Georgetown Uni versity in Washington, D. C., and at the Pennsylvania State College where he received his B.A. in English Com position in 1949. He is now writing a thesis on "The Social, Economic and Political Background of Hazle ton" for an M.A. degree at the Campus. Mr. Fisher, in addition to teaching, serves as Publicity Director for the Center and as faculty advisor to the Hazleton Collegian. Page Three
