Female safety on-campus BEHREND-Due to the heavily wooded local of the Behrend College campus, many female students feel may uncomfortable walking across campus alone at night. Behrend has had a relatively low crime rate in recent years, but for many women, these statistics don't give piece of mind. Imagine the following scenario: It is one o' clock in the morning. You are twenty-year old female who has just returned to campus after studying at a friend's. There is no parking lot close to Niagara Hall, the dorm in which you live. The only available parking is in the back lot, behind the apartments, meaning that you have to walk through the deserted parking lot, surrounded by woods You must then walk all the way across the sleeping campus to your dorm. As many women can attest, this is a nerve wracking experience. Gina Leone, an eighth semester student at Behrend said, "I often find myself looking over my shoulder when I'm walking alone at night. Sometimes I get a little nervous." One way to feel more confident is to find someone willing to walk with you. You may also try to call Police and Safety for an escort. However, these two solutions aren't always possible. Attention Seniors!!! COME TO A PARTY IN YOUR HONOR!

Self-defense training does not necessarily mean karate, or learning to kill a person with one hand. There are many programs geared toward women that teach easily executed moves that can enable women to safely escape an attack. Theta Phi Alpha sorority will be sponsoring such a work shop on Monday, April 21 in the aerobics room of Niagara Hall. The workshop will be taught by an experienced instructor.

Entertainment Editor Mike DeSantis Collegian Staff When I (Tim) came to Penn State-Behrend in the fall of '96 I had aspirations of running my own radio show. I soon realized the dream would never materialize. After a week of getting settled into college life, I met with the station manager, Ron Slomski. I asked him about the possibility of having a student-run music radio show. He was reluctant to even consider a format switch, but said that if a student organization were formed and investors and advertising clients found there would be at least a consideration. Not long after I met with Mr. Slomsky, I participated in a "Coffee With The Provost" at Lawrence Hall in September of last year. I put the same question to Dean Lilley, adding that the station, in my opinion, should be for the students. Lilley basically said that the station is not for the students; it's for the college. He went on to say that the college benefits from WPSE in the repertoire the school develops with local businesses. The only qualm I have with his later in the night. The same thing answer is how can the station be would go for comedians. for the college when the students The reason I believe that this is have no say in how it is run and a good idea is sometimes the , don't even participate in the day- entertainment isn't too good, and to-day operation? because of it less people show up 141111111111111111111111111111N1111111111111111141111111111111111011M1111111111111M11111111113111111111111111111111INNIIMINIMM11111111111111 1 1 1 INNIUM 111 i textbooks Arc Expensive... aand, unlin - ttmately, like everything else, they continue to get more expensive each year. Though textbook prices have gone up, studies show that over the last 20 years, they have only gone up about as much as moss( other things we buy. Surprisingly, high prices for textbooks do not mean high profits for bookstores. Publishers take the 1 biggest bile Out of every textbook dollar you spend.

A student-run music station would develop a camaraderie among the students of the Behrend community along with providing many possible services. Who would be helped? I (Mike) can think of two to start. First of all I think that the people running Bruno's would love this. The radio station would be able to have the bands come into the studio and play a song and talk with the DJ. This way the students could hear who is going to Bruno's and then if they liked them be sure to go hear more 76% OF EVERY NEW TEXTBOOK DOLLAR GOES TO THE PUBLISHER AND AUTHOR.

Working in parallel ' with Bruno's, the Gorge would then be able to profit if more people started to come to the activities. Not only those, but other organizations would also be able to put ads on the air to get the people's ear. Furthermore, student organizations could hold forums and broadcast them. That way people who could not make it to the function could at least know what went on. There is a ton of work that needs to be done, but it is possible. Make no mistake, this is a call. Listen to me my brethren, petitions are floating around the campus. Be sure to sign and show interest.
