At the February 8, 1995 SGA community forum, the student senate and attending students had the opportunity to listen and pose questions to Helen Crayton, manager of the Behrend bode store. Crayton, accompanied by John Ream, Director of Business Operations, opened by listing general information about bookstore services and procedures. The Behrcnd Bookstore is owned by Penn State University and managed by Barnes and Noble, Inc. When asked about the benefits of this merger, both Crayton and Ream claimed increased benefits from the new and powerful computer system that Barnes and Noble supplies. Questions about the actual benefits of the system, specifically, the time table associated with book orders, was discussed at length. Crayton referred also to the bookstore’s power to buy quantities of Penn State clothing at reduced prices. Some students had specific requests for clothing and other Penn State apparel. Crayton offered to review requests and agreed to work with the students in ordering the items. There is a University Faculty Senate position open. Any junior of senior student that has some knowledge of the Penn State Behrend and University system can apply at the SGA office. Bring a short resume.
