SR Students and area residents attending the program present- ed by John Kolisch, noted hypnotist ‘and mentalist, ex- pressed their enthusiasm for the two-hour denomstration on the powers of hypnosis evidenced in his performance. Mr. Kolisch, returning to the local campus for the third season, asked for volunteers from the audience in order to demonstrate the various feats that could be achieved by subjects under the power of hypnosis. After presenting several tests done under light hypnosis, Mr. Kolisch selected 10 finalists who he put under deeper hypnosis and then proceeded to prove through his subjects how he demonstrated such actions as projecting into the future, going backwards in time in the lives of persons, power of suggestion as to temperature, and how it is possible to control weight, reduce feeling of pain, and various other accomplish- ments. At the conclusion of the first eight games, Wilkes-Barre Campus basketball team has a record of three wins and five losses. To date, they have won games from Pinebrook Junior College, York Campus-PSU, and Allentown Campus,PSU, while losing to Lackawanna Jr., College, St. Pius X Seminary, Mt. Alto Campus, Schulykill Campus, and Scranton Campus. With 10 games remaining in the season, Coach Boughton is optimistic about improving in the win column starting with this week's schedule, which finds his quintet competing against PSU Hazleton Campus and PSU Schuylkill Campus. He is particuarly pleased by the fine scoring of Dan Barbera, Scott Lefko, and Mark Kray, top scorers on the varisty five. Local readers will remember Scott from his excellent varsity record at Dallas Senior High School where he played for three years and was selected on the All-Scholastic Team for 1970, his senior year.

He transferred to the local campus during the fall term of the present academic year and is enrolled as a student in the physical education curriculum. He plans to transfer to Univer- sity Park next term. The six foot five, 240 1b. student has scored 139 points in the last eight games for an average of 17.4 per game ranking second to Dan Barbera, 6’1"’, 170 Ib. student, who has a total of 178 points for an average of 22.3.

Representatives from many national and local businesses and industries have visited the few weeks to interview seniors in the associate degree cur- ricula. The demand for associate degree graduates by top or- ganizations in the country has increased over the past several years and is evidenced by the fact that approximately 90 percent of the graduates desiring employment are com- mitted to positions through the campus job interviews prior to their graduation in June. Michael Grenci, second year mass communications broad- casting student, has been ap- pointed editor of ‘‘Campus Voice’ the students’ newspaper.

Kozemchak Sr. , 1972 Kathleen Newman, The extensive civic improve- ment activities of Wyoming Valley have been acclaimed tops in the country by the distin- guished panel of judges in the 1971 National Clean Up Contest. The city’s comprehensive scrapbook entry was selected to receive a national trophy for the highest degree of achievement shown by a city of over 250,000 population, after being placed in competition with hundreds of other entries from throughout the United States. The National Clean Up Con- test, which is the oldest and largest such competition in the United States, is sponsored an- nually by the National Clean Up-Paint Up-Fix Up Bureau, a non-profit foundation es- tablished in 1912. This year’s distinguished panel of judges was most impressed by the scope and variety of the com- munity’s accomplishments and the close cooperation shown by various participating groups. hievements, a handsomely designed, engraved trophy will be sent to the city’s Clean Up chairman to be permanently displayed at various civic func- lions. Each city which entered the contest was required to submit a scrapbook showing evidence of all civic improvement ac- tivities undertaken during 1971, along with a written report out- lining the specifics involved. For judging, the entries were divided into three population calegories representing the total number of people covered by their programs: under 25,000; between 25,000 and 250,000; and over 250,000. Using a point system, the entries were graded by a panel of seven judges based on the degree of achievement and scope and participation in such areas as community-wide beautification, property improvement and youth activities. - Ten trophy winners were selected in each of the three population categories.
