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.

HAZLETON COLLEGIAN

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.

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.

Five Members of H.U.C. 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.
