dent photo capture will begin April

full-time faculty and staff to have
their photos taken prior to April 1 to
avoid long lines in August. ID+cards

tem (white card), it is not necessary
to have your picture retaken. We will
print your photo on the new stock and
distribute it on April 27. The ID of

Students will receive an offer from
AT&T for a calling card number to
be printed on the ID+ card. The post

Penn State’s Creamery, renowned for
its delicious flavors throughout Lion
Country and beyond, has agreed to
let Penn State-Behrend rename one
of its flavors on a temporary basis in
celebration of Penn State-Behrend at
50: A Golden Opportunity. Students,
faculty, staff alumni and friends are
invited to submit ideas for both the
flavor and the name in the Name the
Ice Cream Contest. Entrants can se
lect from these flavors: Vanilla,
Chocolate, Strawberry, Peach, But
ter Pecan, Bittersweet Mint, Peanut
Butter Swirl and Coconut Chip. For
inspiration consider the following:
famous Behrend personalities includ
ing Ernst, Mary or Otto, buildings
and programs at Behrend; and the
fact that for the first several years at
Penn State-Behrend, the fields at the
campus entrance were laden with
wild strawberries. The theme for the
anniversary year is “ Penn State-Be
hrend at 50: A Golden Opportunity.”
Entries will be accepted by e-mail at
axw6@psu.edu, by fax at (814) 898-

Committee will serve as judges for
the contest. In addition to the fame
and fortune and the chance to be
among the first to serve up the Penn
State-Behrend flavor, the winner will
receive free cones of the winning fla
vor for 10 friends.
