Spangler. Spangler was hired as director of the PUB by the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) and Lock Haven University. In his new position, Spangler will oversee the offices and activities held in the PUB. He will also work with the SCC to organize student activities. One of Spangler's goals as PUB director is to expand the building. He said that this • idea will involve a lot of planning, and he would like to see students form a committee to help plan the expansion. Spangler said he wants to make the PUB into a place where the students want to go. The expansion should also give the commuter students who frequent the PUB a "change of atmosphere," he said. Spangler would like to see students take advantage of the PUB facilities and of the planned student activities. "I'm a strong advocate of student activities because it improves the retention rate of our new students," said Spangler. Spangler's short term goals include getting to know the student body, the organizations, and the goals and responsibilities of the students. He would like to see the students "have a more efficient use of their organization." Leiand C.
