THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR LOVE
A 34-year-old teacher in Helgeland, Norway, took full advantage of the fact that the
teenage girls in his classes had crushes on him. He had sexual relations with at least five
of them. He would have gotten away with it had he not taken pictures of one of the
- ncounters and had the film developed at a photo lab. He was arrested when a technici
turned him in. He said he was in love with the girls.
THAT'S ONE FINE-LOOKING GOVERNOR
A mural on a hotel in Helena, Mont., features a nude woman dancing in a brothel, a
depiction of the rough-and-tumble days when gold miners populated the place. But the
nude dancer is wearing glasses and has short hair with bangs, and, some say, looks
exactly like the state's governor, Judy Martz. The artist says it isn't so, but among those
who see a resemblance is the governor herself, and she doesn't like it much.

The hassles of
ehrend constructio
by Megan Loncaric
staff writer
If you live on campus at Behrend, it is
very hard to miss all of the construction
that is going on next to Perry Hall. The
end result of all this construction, which
started late in May last year, is going to
be a new five-level (mostly freshman)
residence building named Senat Hall.
This new building will house 150
students and raise the amount of students
living on campus from 1,500 to 1,650.
As a student currently residing on
campus, you may have found the west
side of Perry off-limits. Now it takes
more time to walk to classes in the Reed
Building than last year, especially if you
live in one of the upper residence halls
like Almy, Ohio, the suites or any of the
apartments.
Even though the "million-dollar
staircase" is still open and operable,
students living in these upper residence
halls have to walk around to the other
side of Perry just to make it down to the
Reed Union Building.
"I am glad I don't live in the traditional
dorms anymore, especially in Perry.
Being woken up early from the noise
would be a huge distraction when I am
trying to sleep and when I am trying to
keep up on my studies," said Patrick
Cortopassi, a third-semester business
management major who currently lives
in Ohio Hall.
Perry Hall residents find the
construction to be difficult to adjust to
as well
"I have to leave for classes earlier,"
said Philip Tullai, a current Perry Hall
resident, "because I have to walk around
What once was a place to hang out on sunny days is no more
The steps to Perry Hall have been replaced with trailers and
construction.

the construction instead of just going
down the stairs."
Tullai, a second-semester computer
engineering major, also said, "The
construction usually wakes me up in the
morning because of the noise. There is a
lot of dust and dirt in the air, which
sometimes comes in the windows. The
view out the window is bad because
Behrend is such a cool place, then you
see the construction."
Another Perry Hall resident doesn't
like the fact that the steps in front of Perry
are closed
"I can't walk directly to the Reed
Union Building, I have to walk all the
way around and then go down the hill.
The hill isn't bad now, but come winter
it will become even more difficult to
walk down because of the massive
amounts of snow," said Sean Mihlo, a
first-semester DUS student who also
lives in Perry Hall.
"I don't know what time they start
construction in the mornings," added
Mihlo, "but I can definitely hear them
when I get up for my Ba.m class."
Other students find that a trip down
the hill in front of Perry often ends with
someone falling.
"I hate it when I fall down the hill,"
said Christina Hakel, a third-semester
communications major who lives in Ohio
Hall.
The new building, which will have 16
single rooms, 24 double suites and
offices for Housing and Food Services,
is set to be completed before the start of
the 2004-05 school year-unfortunately,
not in time for the hassles of the
construction to end.
