'aße 2 - The Behrend Colic., Erie Zoo plans aquarium Erie-The Erie Zoo announced plans Tuesday to install a $l5 million dollar aquarium. Zoo spokesman Scott Mitchell said that the facility should be open by 2000 and house from 700 to 800 animals. The facility will be 20,000 to 30,000 square feet and contain approximately 70,000 gallons of water. Located on the bank of Mill Creek, the building's exterior will be designed to look like a 19th century mill. The zoo plans to look for help from the state capital budget and also raise funds locally. The zoo's project will not change the plans of the Erie- Western Pennsylvania Port Authority. They are also looking into funding for a bayfront aquarium, according to Ray Schreckengost, executive director of the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority. Schreckengost said that a lot will depend on what the community wants.

CARRIAGE HOUSE e Col'man Thursdau, Februaru 27. 1997 Something bad happened Graduation dilemma Poor planning can hinder graduation by Colleen Fromknecht Collegian Staff As students enter their final semester at Behrend, some find that they have a problem with the graduation process. During the third week of classes students receive their audit and find they are short of graduation by one or two credits. Robert R. Schenker, College Registrar, says that the reasons for this problem are varied. Each student who is admitted to Behrend enters a common year major in the Department of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), Business Administration in the Smeal College, or Liberal Arts. Theoretically, the student spends the first two years of his or her college career taking General Education (Gen Ed) classes to prepare for upper-class level work. Once a student enters his or her junior year, the student chooses a major and then takes classes relevant to that major. Most problems which occur regarding the fulfillment of degree requirements are the result of poor academic planning. Students seem unwilling to take advantage of the resources available to help them successfully complete a course of study at Behrend. The Baccalaureate Degree Program Bulletin, or Blue Book, is issued by the University each year. The Blue Book is a listing of all the majors, classes, and policies which Penn State offers to students. A section in the book is designated for Behrend majors. Under the heading for each major is a section which describes the „,. p o il c p • col • a c 241 t rxmaibia sae at 41: Pace end Safe ty ome fficers liorated to om&int the Snell controlled substance In Lawrence Mali.
