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.
Elections for the Senate position will be held at 5:15 p.m., at the
February 15 SGA community forum.
The weekly SGA forum is open to all students. Attending students
are encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussion. Students
with specific requests for guest speakers may submit requests to the
SGA Student Activities Office.
