old twins from Adah, Pa. The brothers, now seniors, hope to qualify as Navy jet
pilots. The bell is from' the battleship USS Pennsylvania, a gift to the University from
the U.S. Navy.
Terrific Twins
Grant a set of , University
twins their wish, and the
U.S. Navy will soon have two
new jet fighter pilots.
The boys, Donald and Ron
ald Riffle, are seniors en
rolled in the Naval Reserve
Officer Training Corps pro
gram. Upon graduation in
June, with commissions as
ensigns in their pockets, they
will enter the Navy's train
ing center in Pensacola, Flori
da, where they hope to quali
fy as jet pilots.
If they should be sent to
Vietnam, they might meet an
other member of the Riffle
family. Their uncle, James,
is a Marine lieutenant colonel,
stationed at Da Nang. An
aviator with more than 26
years experience, James
sparked the twins' interest in
the service and flying with
the tales. he told on his peri
odic home visits.
Home is Adah, Pennsyl
vania, near Uniontown, where
the boys and their older
brother, Earl, _were raised.
Earl, a 1960 graduate of the
University, preceded Ron and
Don into the Navy. He is a
lieutenant, instructing ROTC
units at the University of
South Carolina.
Although they are frater
nal twins, not identical, Ron
and Don have been doing
things together for most of
their 21 years, and they are
fierce competitors. They have
traded between them first
and second place standings in
the Navy ROTC program
here, and maintain the same
scholastic average.

Campuses Growth
Several construction programs have been planned to
aid the expansion of academic programs and increases in
the student population on the University's Commonwealth
Campuses.
The new Scranton Campus will begin work this spring
on two buildings—a facility for physical education and
large lectures halls, and a classroom-library building.
The Behrend Campus has planned a classroom build
ing which will house drafting rooms, two biology labora
tories, and faculty -offices.
A study center and a residence hall are already under
construction.

The McKeesport Campus, which expects to have an
enrollment of 1,000 students by 1970, is planning an ad
dition to its student union building. The addition will
expand study and recreational areas.
A new $900,000 classroom building for the New Ken
sington Campus will be started soon, the fifth new struc
ture to be started in the last three years. In addition to
housing classrooms, the buildings will provide space for
physical education courses and recreation.
The Hazleton Campus has announced plans to pur
chase a 30-acre tract of land adjoining the campus for the
purpose of much-needed plant expansion. The campus is
