In Scenario C, the
enhancement section, the
Computer Center will receive a
budget increase; a classroom
technology/equipment fund,
which will allow the classes to
keep up-to-date with recent
instructional technology; and the
coaching staffs of the various
collegiate teams will be
augmented.
Although the possibility is
that the University will initiate
the full 7.5% cut, the Behrend
Futures Committee is confident
that only a 2.5% cut will occur.
A contingency plan has been
made for just that occasion. Cuts
will primarily be made in support
areas and the bus service; the
pool will be closed, the radio
station will become self
sustaining, and University staff
assistant positions will undergo
changes.

environment. He felt there
should be an Earth Day every
thy.
The red maple tree that was
planted during the Earth Day
ceremony is located in the
triangular area between the
upper and lower Reed parking
lots. There is a plaque by the
tree which reads, "Dedicated to
the Preservation of all life,
Campus Ministry."
The ultimate goal of Earth
Day was to remind people that
they had a responsibility to
preserve all life. Many people
who attended the Earth Day
festivities felt the celebration
was meaningful, and it helped
them to better see their
obligation to the environment
and to the earth.
"I felt that we accomplished
our goal in reminding our
students, faculty and staff of
their responsibility to preserve
all forms of life," said Sue
Anderson, Coordinator of
Protestant Campus Ministry.
