Memorial
Behrend student will be
missed immensely
Sandra Charlotte-Anne
"Stour Smith, a 24-year
old Accounting major in Pm
judor year at Behrend, was killed
in an auto accident over spring
break.
Smith was on her way to the
Pacoima to be with her fiance.,
Craig Marco, and his family
when she was trapped in gridlock.
Once stopped in traffic, Smith
got out of her car and stood next
to it.
While she was out of her car,
a man driving a Jeep quickly
approached the stop in traffic and
swerved to avoid slamming into
the stopped cars. In swerving to
miss the cars, the Ohio man
struck Smith who was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Though the investigation is
continuing, no charges are being
filed against the man driving the
Jeep.
Sandra Smith grew up in
Jenkintown and while she was
there, she frequently gave blood
to the American Red Cross. She
also did volunteer work for the
elderly at an old age home.

While Smith had a strong
interest in art, her forte was
math. After assisting her father
with his book for his real
astatelmsurance business, she
decided that she wanted to become
an Accounting major.
After attending Kutztown
University for a year, Smith had
some difficulty focusing on what
exactly she wanted her career to
be. She then decided to take
some time off of school and get
involved in sailing.
Smith came home three years
ago and that was when she really
got involved with DiMarco, a
childhood friend. She did not
want to get married until she was
out of „school and the two never
set a wedding date.

Pollution prevention
HARRISBURG-Pennsylvania
Environmental Protection
Secretary James M. Seif
announced yesterday that
Pennsylvania's 1996 Earth Day
celebration will emphasize
"Taking the Next Step" from
measures to prevent pollution.
The series of events will
culminate on May 27, birthday of
environmental pioneer, and
Pennsylvania native Rachel
Carson.
"In 1962, Rachel Carson of
Springdale in Allegheny County
sounded the nation's
environmental wake-up call with
her book, Silent Spring, and with
varying speed the country
reponsded," Seif said. "By 1971,
both the federal Environmental
Protection Agency and our
predecessor agency, the
Department of Environmental
Protection, had been formed and
the regulatory era was underway.
Today, after a quarter century of
progress, we are 'Taking the Next
Step' to recognize both her
legacy and our future."
According to Seif, stressing the
prevention of pollution, rather
than merely promulgating
regulations and punishing
offenders after pollution occurs,
Student Events
is the way to move
environmental policy forward
into the 21st century. This
policy is at the core of the
transition occurring in
Pennsylvania under DEP's
leadership.
Appearances will be made by Seif
and other DEP officials around
the Commonwealth during the
months of March and May,
enphasizing the — Take the Next
Step" theme. Earth Day will be
celebrated on April 22.

its Office of Mineral Resources
Management and six Regional
Offices during the week of April

the Office of Water
Management's pollution
prevention activities will be
highlighted. Beginning April 15,
