BEH REND—Dr. , Richani
Bollinger, professor of
mathematics at Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College, will speak
to his colleagues and the public
in a lecture entitled, "My First 12
Billion Years in Mathematics,"
on Tuesday, April 2 at noon in
the College's Teed Union
Building Commons. Bollinger
will make his presentation as
winner of the 1995 Penn State-
Behrend Council of Fellows
Faculty Research Award. The
lecture is free and open to the
public.
The professor plans to touch
on a number of unsolved
mathematical problems during
his talk, and examine several
mathematicians whom he terms,
"eccentric and otherwise." The
title he selected is a reference to a
childhood memory. Bollinger
recalls that the universe was
thought to be approximately four
billion years old when he was a

years," he says.
A widely-Published scholar,
Bollinger hold a Ph.D. in math
from the University of
Pittsburgh. He has served. on the
Penn State-Behrend faculty for
more than thirty years.
His most recent work is a
translation of Generalized Pascal
Triangles and Pyramids; Their
Fractals e Graphs and Application.
The original book, a Russian
monograph by internationally
recognized mathematician Boris
A Bondarenko, includes a
discussion of several papers
published by Bollinger. •
Bollinger felt the Russian had
done the mathematical
community a service by
publishing this survey of more
than 500 results and references,

SGA Report
The Student Government Association holds its weekly meeting
every Wednesday at 5:15 in Reed conference room 114.
The question of presidential authority and the extent to which it
should reach was raised at last night's SGA meeting.
In light of an incident last week in which President Timothy
Mallon voiced the posibility of vetoing an SGA resolution. Multi-
Cultural Council President Lourdes Tirardo moved to amend the
SGA constitution to restrict presidential veto power. As a
constitutional amendment, the motion will automatically be tabled
for two weeks. If passed. the president will only be able to veto a
motion at an SGA meeting within one week of the motion's'
mew.
The motion that sparked the amendment was passed last week
with the intent of requiring Behrend CCSG representatives to vote
against the . proposed SGA stipend. Mallon had announced his
intent to vote for the stipend, and according to Tirardo threatened to
veto the motion after the meeting.
Mallon said he was merely contemplating the issue, and didn't
think SGA should effectively tie the hands of CCSG
representatives. Mallon Says SGA sentiment kept him from
following through with the veto.
CCSG defeated the stipend proposal in committee.
In the president's report, Mallon also announced CCSG had
passed a resolution to doubte the computer access fee to $7O if the
University does not receive $4.5 million in state funding next

Senator Michael Zampetti is researching Behrenfs

ceremony includes a prayer. SGA will discuss the topic at next
