THE SPECTATOR
The voice of student opinion at Edinboro State

Teachers College.

Editor-in-Chief
Faculty Adviser

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Another half school year will be ushered in when this semester closes
about the middle of January. At that time a number of new students will
seek enrollment, while a few of the present student body will drop out, the
latter unfortunately evident at every mid-year.
Cooperation Is Solicited

In order to maintain and enlarge upon the present enrollment at Ed­
inboro, it has been customary fojr the administration to solicit the coopera­
ac­
tions of the cqllege, asking the students to suggest any among their
t---- —
quaintances who might be interested in a higher education but who foi
a variety of reasons are not in college. With the assistance of the stu
stu-­
dents, the college has, in the past, been able to lead many newcomers to
Edinboro.
It is profession ally ethical that the student body does lend its fullest
cooperation to the administration in boosting its own numbers. However,
to attain the desired ends, a far more reaching and efficient plan can be
exercised, namely, a personal campaign enlisting the efforts of EVERY­
ONE to act individually in gaining new material for Edinboro. This can
be accomplished if every student pledges his responsible support and de­
velops a sincere enthusiasm about the mattejr.
Certainly, building up an institution such as a college is a worthwhile
and inspirational activity, rendering profit to the institution itself as well as
personal benefits to the lives of prospective students.
One need not go far to speculate the increase in our Student Activity
Fund and the subsequent growth of our activity program if the college en­
rollment were doubled. This is only one of the many obvious advantages
of a reasonably large student body. Then too, the cultural development
and professional training, coupled with the low cost of educafon in a state
institution, should offer an impetus in canvassing our friends who might
presently be unaware of the opportunities found at Edinboro. And the
high percentage of high school graduates who are not informed as to their
state educational facilities is indeed surprising.
College Life Is Desirable

Perhaps none of us regret that college has become a part of our lives.
Many of us must consider that the college classroom never would have been
ours had not someone before us been instrumental in lead.ng us to where
we ap*e now. We can do the same for others.
Christmas and New Year holiday season offers the occasion for all of
us to contact old acquaintances and put in a good word for Edinboro. It
is an opportune time for you, students, to BOOST YOUR COLLEGE LIFE

The Raiders, who were never in
any difficulty and seldom had to
work hard to penetrate the St.Mary’s
defense, held a 26-21 lead at half
time. However, a determined drive
in the last five m nutes of the game,
with Abbahazi, Soscia, Volitich and
Casoli sinking consecutive goals
while holding St.Mary’s scoreless,
widened the breach to twelve points
mnutes before the game ended.

from the floor. He was replaced by
