Huber Boasts Unusual Record
By BILL SNYDER
Playing Rec Hall and fraternity
dances is unexciting stuff to a
man who has toured 43 states
with Tommy Tucker’s orchestra,
helped, to wax Columbia Records,
and personally known Marilyn
Maxwell and other show people.
That’s the unusual record of
Jack Huber, who still entertains
with his own band but. devotes
most of' his time to his job as
Student Employment director.
Actually Huber might still be
with Tucker’s band if it hadn’t
been for the night club. recession
in ’47, which saw the cash cus
tomers throwing around fewer
sheckels in the entertainment
rrieccas. Tucker was forced to
trim his payroll, and Huber was
out of a job.
Huber came to State College in
1948 to get a degree in music edu
cation and then planned to go
back to his hometown, Philadel
phia, to teach electric guitar. But,
like the “Man Who Came to Din
ner,” he stayed, and is still here
—and the College has never had
cause to regret his decision.-..
His “extra-curricular” activities
here include being Red Cross fac
ulty adviser and remaining active
in the local Heart fund, the State
College Junior Chamber of Com

Board
said yesterday
Individual students, dormitory
counselors, - Leonides, Panhellenic
Council and other campus organi
zations are also asked to consider
recommendations, Farrell and
Miss Shusman said.
The board will begin revision
of customs regulations Nov. 14,
after recommendations from Hat
Council, the regulations board.
Freshman Council and the soph
omore and freshman class offi
cers have been handed in.
Hat Council has completed its
recommendations and will turn
them over to customs board be
fore Nov. 14, Richard Gibbs, pres-,
ident, said.
The customs program will be
revised because of dissatisfaction
of the freshmen and upperclass
men with this year’s program.
The customs board reported the
program was obviously lacking
in enforcement since the response
by upperclassmen \ and freshmen
was so weak this year.
Miss Shusman said that recom
mendations from freshmen will
be especially valuable to the
board, because the frosh have
“lived with this year’s customs”
and know what is lacking or over
emphasized in the program.
Recommendations from dormi
tory counselors are of special
value to the board, Farrell said,
because they have lived with
freshman men and are particu
larly familiar with freshman opin
ion. I

He originated the Sunday af
ternoon jam sessions in the Tem
porary Union Building, when he
was a resident dormitory counse
lor in 1951 and started the all-
College_ dance band, now defunct.
His original music compositions
include two swingy, full-of-bounce
numbers, “Brainstorm” and
“Jack’s Idea,” played by the Blue
Band when it is seated in the
stands during football games.
He played solos in such popu
lar Tucker Columbia recordings
as “Countrystyle” and “Take
Care.”
There’s a story behind the
“Countrystyle” solo. The record
called for him to play an instru
ment brand new to him—the ban
jo, and not his beloved electric
guitar. He had only two hours
to master the instrument before
the record was cut.
Fortunately the solo was very
short, and Huber got by all right

after a very hectic two hours.
Life with a big name band isn’t
all beer and skittles as many
people think, Huber says. It’s a
life of sleeping on buses, living
in hotels and eating irregular
meals.
He remembers that an average
one night stand would last from
9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Afterwards the
.bus would be’ loaded with tired
musicians and bulky instruments
and would travel all night 300
miles to the next stand.
. Strangely enough during his
days at West Philadelphia Catho
lic High, Huber didn’t even play
the electric guitar. A friend had
a guitar which he kept mostly at
Hubers house, and Jack started
to fool around with it. Soon he
was playing it better than the
pwner. He’s been playing one
ever since.
In addition to his guitar ability,
Huber, has a talent for arranging.
He does all the arrangements for
his own band.

Annex Nears Completion
THE ANNEX of the Mineral Science Building, now 85 per cent
complete, may be occupied before the start of the spring semester,
Elbert F. Osburn, dean of the School of Mineral Industries, has
announced. The annex is being built by the Baton Construction
Co., the company which started original building five years ago.
Work on the annex was started in the summer of 1952.

Nears Completion
The addition to the Mineral Science building is over 85 per cent
complete and may be occupied by the start of the second semester,
Elburt F. Osburn, dean of the School of Mineral Industries, has
announced.
I The new unit, which join's the Mineral Science building on the
south, will complete construction
of the Mineral Sciences building.
It is being built by the Baton
Construction Co., the same com
pany which started the building
five years ago
The building is being completed
under the auspices of the General
State Authority. GSA is a state
.agency created for the purpose of
borrowing money from the na
tional government, for public
works construction over the state
constitutional debt limit. The
money is usually paid back by
rentals collected from the pro
jects.
The wing will mainly contain
facilities which were orpitted
from the original building because
of lack of funds. The presently
occupied part of the Mineral Sci
ence building was completed in
1950.

but, those who haven’t tried Wimmer’s Sunoco yet
here’s the answer:
It’s because every time a student stops at Wimmer’s for
the first time he finds high quality products, low, low
prices, and, best qf all, wonderfully friendly service all
the things that have made Wimmer’s Sunoco a favorite
at Penn State.
That s why Jack Wimmer can afford to give away five
gallons of High Test Blue Sunoco every day—he knows
that the student who comes in to register will soon be a
regular customer.
So, if you’re not already a Wimmer’s customer, stop in
