Expansion
for
Behrend
by Bryan Harkins
Collegian Ssaff
Expansion may be on the
horizon for Behrend College.
Two proposals, one dealing
with possible budget cuts and the
other with projected growth. have
been submitted at the request of
Dr. Graham Spanier, university
president.
The fug proposal addresses a
one percent reduction in
Behrend's permanent budget and
was submitted in January.
The second proposal, also
submitted last month, outlines
areas of growth in the future of
Behrend College.
The Strategic Planning
Committee, charged with drafting
the proposals, was asked to
address possible mergers between
Behrend and two Penn State
campuses.

Plans unveiled
Campus mergers possible
by Sean Siekkinen
Collegian Staff
Current restructuring plans will
change the face of Penn State
University's Commonwealth
Education System with the
creation of a multi-campus
commonwealth college.
A "Plan for the
Commonwealth" describes these
propokd plans for resturcturing
the commonwealth.
Beaver, Dußois, Shenango and
nine other CES campuses will
join the multi-campus college,
which will oiler the schools
greater autonomy than the current
CES setup. Behrend will not
join the multi-campus college.
Although each campus will
have a primary mission of lower
division undergraduate education,
every campus is expected to offer
a selection of four year
baccalaureate programs. Most

campuses will also offer several
associate degrees.
College campuses with
regional ties will be encouraged
to form operational ties,
including shared programs,
jointly appointed faculty and
joint use of facilities.
Joseph Strasser, Dußois
campus executive officer, said
that the reorganization will help
his school become more
responsive to local needs.
"Our recent planning effort
showed great interest in Dußois
being able to offer baccalaureate
programs," Strasser said. "This
will certainly help us do that."
CES campuses not joining the
college are also planning
reorganization.
Allentown will merge with the
Berks campus. Abington-Ogontz

Coming to America
BEHREND-This year,
George Washington's birthday is
cause for extra celebration at
Behrend College, for it marks the
one hundredth anniversary of
Ernst Berhend's emigration to
America.
On February 22, 1896, Moritz
Berhend, his wife Henritte and
sons Ernst and Otto arrived in
America from their hometown of
Coeslin, Germany.
Their goal, to establish an
American paper company in the
city of Erie, Pennsylvania with
its abundant supply of fresh water
and access to forests of the Great
Lakes region and Canada, was
soon to be realized in the
founding of the Hammermill
Paper Company. .
"The Behrcnd family left many
great legacies to the Erie
community," said Dr. John M.
Lillcy, provost and dean. "Their
spirit lives on at Penn State-
Behrend as a place on inspiration,
beauty and introspection."
Although Lillcy did not have
the opportunity to meet Ernst
Bchrend or his wife Mary, he
commented recently that he feels

as though he knows them.
"I can't tell you how many
jpeople have told me stories
about how graciously the
Berhends treated people," he said.
Lilley is constantly reminded
of the generosity expressed when
Mary Behrend gave the family's
400-acre summer estate to Penn
State in memory of Ernst.
Today, the College has grown to
725 acres.
Ernst and his family were
indeed well-loved by the Erie
community, and he and his
brother set exemplary work place
standards.
The Hammermill Paper
Company was one of the first in
the nation to establish paid
vacations, medical benefits, profit
sharing, and bonuses for its
employees.
Throughout the depression,
their commitment to providing
work for as many employees as
possible was legendary. In some
cases, Ernst personally hired mill
