The problem with finding a better
way is that each solution has its own
dilemma. Housing has been talking

different viewpoint came a scenario
with a loophole. Mu!finger says he
wouldn't mind having a lottery
system if every student was
guaranteed housing.
Last year, there were 11(X) students
with 1230 housing facilities. The year
before, there were 1100 students with
1100 housing facilities. This year
there are 1230 students with 1230
housing facilities. It is proposed that
next year there will he 1230 students
with 1500 housing facilities.
Behrend housing is gradually
getting better according to the
numbers, and along with the growth
will come more halls, such Ohio Hall
by the year 1999 and Trippe Hall by
2001.

gave, such as having the camp out on
weekends, Mulfinger pointed out that
many students go home during the
weekends and they wouldn't be able
to get anything. If it were later in
the day, then there is the problem of
classes. Students have different
classes different times of the day.
The problem of distributing
housing by semester rank is students
of different semester standings
requesting'a room together. Either the
person of lower semester standing
would have to be chosen before others
ahead of him or her or the two
roommates would he unable to live
together.
Mullinger understands that many
students, especially freshmen, want to
leave from the dorms but he advises
that it is better for the first year to be
in a dorm from a programming point
of view. Multinger sees that the dorms
arc socially better than the suites and
they are financially cheaper than the
suites (about $3OO cheaper, which
could he used for books).
Does the question, "Why not just
make the dorms better?", come up?
Mulfinger pointed out how it would
be cheaper to build a new building
than to renovate the halls and stated
that, "I think most students are all
right for their freshman year."
Mulfinger thinks that it would be a
good idea for students to give
suggestions on improving the present
way of getting the room that you want
along with the roommate you want.

Wood is an Emeritus Trustee and
Kochel was the Administrative Head

until 1980 when John Liffey arrived
Dr. Lilley said of Junker and his
appointment of Chairman, "Ted has
a long and generous record of ser

rest of the community. His love of
the University is unsurpassed and I
am very pleased that he has this op
portunity to serve all of Penn State."
Now that Junker leads the Penn
State Board of Trustees, he doesn't
plan on neglecting the Behrend cam
pus nor does he plan on favoring it
in any way. Of his new position and
how he plans to handle it with re

I've been involved with Behrend
since I moved here in 1964... My
heart's here but my role is as the
Chairman of the entire University, I
can't be more partial to one college
than to any of the others."
In addition to his appointment as
the Chairman to the Board of Trust
ees, Junker is currently working as the
Chair for a seven- year Capitol Cam
paign at Penn State Behrend. At
present the campaign is in the "quiet
phase" of of the fundraising stage. A
quiet phase is when a strategy is laid
out and committees are formulated to
lead the fundraising effort. Junker's
acceptence of the chairmanship in
Penn State Behrend's part of the cam
paign should have a positive impact
on the Behrend College. Anne Marie
Welsh said of Junker's position, "This
is a really critical role because he
knows everyone and can go to them."

speech was very informative, warm;
he made the audience feel like he
genuinely cared about what he was
talking about. He seemed like he
genuinely cared to educate. He an
swered questions with honesty, and
was very open to take and answer
questions. The major point that sticks
out in my mind was Johnson's com
ment on King's drum major sermon:
