Students express views
on Iraq resolution

On Sunday, February 22, the U.N.
made a deal with Saddam Hussein for
unlimited access to Iraqi weapon sites.
President Clinton gave his approval
of the agreement on Monday, but sev

worked out. Problems like Iraqi na
tion security, leaks warning Iraq about
surprise inspections by diplomats, and

Despite the possible agreement, U.S.

pus, included inventive new ways of
spreading the word around campus.
With the funding the committee
has obtained they have planned
many exciting events including a
concert series which will bring bands
to our school including one big name
band. Another spirit booster the
committee has planned is the "Tail
gate Parties." The "Tailgate Parties"
will mean bringing in large screen
TV's into the dorms, Bruno's, and
Erie Hall for major sporting events
such as football games for Penn
State, Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo
Bills, and Monday Night Football.
They will also have food at these
gatherings such as wings, subs, and
nachos. Other ideas in the works are
karaoke in Bruno's, Mocktails (non
alcoholic beverages such as daiqui
ris) during weekend entertainment,
ways to improve homecoming, and
celebrating the 50th anniversary of
Behrend.
Dr. Reber encourages any student
to come share ideas as the meetings
are open to anyone interested in mak
ing campus life more exciting. The
next meeting is Monday March 16th
at 2:30 in Reed Room 114. The com
mittee is always looking for new stu
dents who can lend perspective and
insight into what we find interesting.
Dr. Reber is hoping the Spirit Com
mittee will become a permanent fix
ture at Behrend to represent student
interests.
Admission continued
majority of Cornell students are Lib
eral Arts majors. Linda Mallett, the
Senior Associate Director of Admis
sions at Cornell said, "Most students
apply to the College of Arts and Sci
ences, that's our largest undergradu
ate division program."
The selectivity of students offered
admission to the Behrend College is
and has been rising. Mary Ellen
Madigan confirms, "Over the past
few years our admission criteria here
at Penn State Behrend has in
creased."
Proof of this may be through the
growing number of students opting
to remain at Behrend for all four
years of their Baccalaureate educa
tion. Madigan said, "A large num
ber of students admitted to Penn
State Behrend in the past two or three
years have listed Behrend as their
first campus choice, the percentage
of students choosing to stay at Be
hrend all four years has continued to
grow as well."
The applications for admission to
Behrend have already been upgraded
making way for a more selective pro
cess. Melissa Grimm addressed this,
"Recently on applications we have
added a 200 word personal statement
[in which students can write about
whatever they would like] and re
quired students to provide a list of
work, community service and extra
curricular activities."
they will because they don't have an
option". Phillip Heller, 03 CMPSC,
said, "I think it will all blow over".
So far, everything has gone well,
and most major conflicts have been
avoided. Only time will determine if
war can be completely ruled out per
manently, or this is only done to buy
time for Iraq.

Commencement announcements,
simple but informative
by Dylan Stewart
sports editor
Students who are getting ready to
graduate this year are almost ready to
mail out their commencement an
nouncements to family and friends to
let them know of their graduation
plans.
Commencement letters can only be
sent out if they are purchased through
the school. Students have the option
of purchasing announcements at
$0.35 apiece, with no bulk rate for the
announcements.
The commencement forms are
fairly simple looking, with all of the
relevant information.

When asked about the look of the
announcements, a Media and Instruc
tional Support Center staff member
that helps make the announcement ex
plained that they are kept simple to
keep the costs held down. If the an
nouncements were made to be fancy
and personalized, it would be a much
more costly fee for the students to pay.
It is thought that it is just better to keep
the announcements simple and keep
the costs down. A number of Behrend
students seemed to agree that it's a
good idea to keep the price of the an
nouncements low.
"As long as the commencement an
nouncement gets the point across, I

don't really mind what they look
like," said senior William Vitron.
"I'm so broke it's a complete joke,"
said senior Marc Burchanowski. "If I
had to pay more than $0.35 a copy, I
wouldn't be able to afford them and
would have to make my own," added
Burchanowski.
The general consensus among those
interviewed was that as long as the
announcements get the job done, the
look isn't all that important. Price
seemed to be the main issue, as stu
dents seemed to think the price was
fair as long as it didn't go any higher.
