Question of the Week—
Do you think
every time
the honor
“No, ldo not think it's fair. Everyone
should get an equal shot at living at
the new housing being built,
especially those who are on the on
campus waiting list.”
-Iris Spinier, 07, BLASC
“I don't agree with this question. I
believe that those students who sign
up for housing first receive it. Last
year I was a freshman living in the
suites, and I am not an honors
student. I just signed up early.”
-- Kelly Rossman, 03, MTHBD
‘I don't think it's fair because
everyone should have a fair chance.
The least they could do is have it
based on a first come first serve basis
or a lottery like they do at main
campus.”
- Elana Hodor, 03, DUS
“No, housing should concentrate on
finding rooms for all students, not just
a small group of honor students.”
-- "J” Slagle, 05, Aersp
‘lt is not fair that honors students
are the first in consideration for new
housing. Just because some
students are in the honors program
doesn't mean they do any more work

anyone else and shouldn't get any
special treatment. They're just
students, same as everyone. They
should wait like everyone else.”
- Brian Bukoski, 05, M.E.
‘lt's very unfair. In a way it's a bit of
discrimination against the rest of us
and in favor of the "elite" students. It
seems that all the extras go to them or
the non-alchol, non-smoking
students, and it is not an appropriate
judgement.”

Blood drive
successful
BEHREND-On October 18,
109 donors rolled up their sleeves
and gritted their teeth at the fall
blood drive in the Wintergarden.
“This is the best response that
we've had for a one day event
since 1990!” said Lisa Graff,
mobile blood drive coordinator at
the Community Blood Bank of
Erie County. “We went into the
day with just 53 donors signed
up. At the spring drive last
March, we saw a total of 75
people for the day. Last week a
total 125 moved through the
process. We appreciate the donors
being patient about waiting at the
drive. Now that we know we are
going to have this kind of
response with the 'Campus
Challenge,’ we’ll take steps to
accommodate that crowd better
next spring.”
“It’s energizing working with
students at Penn State Behrend as
they plan and attain their goals,”
said Patty Pasky McMahon,
director of the Health and
Wellness Center. “This drive if
just one example of these
students’ true commitment to
being involved in community
service that benefits Erie
County.”
Although the real winners are
local transfusion patients, all the
organizations on campus are
commended by the Community
Blood Bank and the Health and
Wellness Center for getting
involved. Tau Kappa Epsilon
