The main entrance to the campus
will also he moved. It will he
relocated to the site where Jordan
Road now meets Station Road, and
the roadways leading into campus
will also he altered.
Finally, a bike- and walkway will
follow alongside the highway,
starting by the Jordan Road Parking
Lot and continuing through campus.
It will follow the highway all the way
to the Bay front Highway. This
walkway will connect with a campus
walkway by the ARC and cross to the
entrance. Then, it will split and
pedestrians can either follow it across
campus through the Playing Fields or
cross the highway via a bridge and
over to Shannon Road.
After construction begins in May,
the portion that crosses campus will
be finished in approximately one
year, while the bridge that crosses the
Gorge will take about two years.
Aside from the changes being
made to accommodate the highway,
several other areas of growth will he
changing the campus. One such area
is housing. Rumors have abounded
for several years now about what
plans are being made to add onto and
to improve the state of on-campus
housing.
According to Ed Mu'finger,
assistant director of Housing and
Food Services for the western
Commonwealth campuses and
Behrend's former manager of H&FS,
the plans have been altered several
times in the past few years -- which
might account for the various rumors.
Originally, when Almy and Ohio
Halls were planned, a third hall
Trippe Hall was to be added as well.
Mu;finger pointed out that most of
the residence areas on campus have
been built in sets of three Perry,
Niagara, and Lawrence: Tigress,
Tiffany, and Porcupine; even the
apartments were added in sets of
three. The same was originally to
occur with Almy. Ohio, and Trippe.
The plan for Trippe was to build on
the west side of Ohio. more or less
making the three halls in a row
However, upon
consideration, a new plan was
brought up. Perry Hall, the oldest
residence hall on campus, is in need
of renovation and modernization.
Also, while scenic, the hills on
campus have created a difficult
situation. As Dr. John Lilley. provost
and dean, stated, "our beautiful
elevated campus is an inspiration,
but it is a handicapped access
challenge." Before the elevator in the
Stairtower, handicapped students
weren't able to get from Perry to
Dobbins and the upper residence
area. Also, it was difficult to get from
Perry to Reed

Sunday will be highlighted by
Brunch in Dobbins Hall and
Catholic and Ecumenical
Services. Throughout the
weekend there will be campus
tours and Blue Bus Tours of Erie.
While this is the first year for
Parents and Families Weekend, it
is really a continuation of various
events held past years. Until
recently this weekend was
traditionally Homecoming and
last year was called Fall Fest. But
now the school is trying to get
parents more involved on
campus. Motta said, "this year in
the spirit of parents and families,
we are calling it just that, Parents
and Families Weekend.' The
schedule has changed to contain
events geared more towards
Parents and Families, however,
everything scheduled is open to
all students, faculty, and staff and
could be enjoyed by all."
Parents and Families Weekend
is expected to have about 200
families participating.
The new plan is to renovate Perry,
adding wings so that the building will
accommodate more students. What
the current thought is, according to
Mulfinger, is to level the terraced area
and steps between Reed and Perry,
add the wing on to the north side of
Perry, and drop the lowest level of
Perry to the upper level of Reed.
Therefore, Perry would essentially he
four stories, and an elevator could be
added to make it accessible to all.
Then, the area between Reed and
Perry would probably become a
gathering area or large patio.
This plan hasn't yet been finalized,
but Mulfinger thinks this is the plan
that will carry through. Trippe Hall
probably will be built eventually, but
not before the traditional residence
halls Perry, Niagara, and Lawrence
are brought up to par.
One other major change that may
he on the horizon is moderate
alterations to the eateries on campus.
When the REDC Building is built on
Jordan Road, it will he in nearly a
direct line with Dobbins Hall.
Mulfinger is waiting to see if this will
then mean that business at Dobbins
picks up. If so, changes or additions
may follow to Dobbins and/or
Bruno's. Also, as the campus houses
more students, dining hall hours may
he further spread out in order to
prevent jams during peak meal times.
When speaking of the "Campus
Master Plan," Dr. John Lilley,
mentioned changes to the classroom
buildings on campus. When the
RED(' Building is added, the School
of Engineering and Engineering
Technology will move there and the
vacated space they leave behind will
become home of the School of
Science. When this occurs, "Ithe
School oil Humanities and Social
Sciences will be the school with the
greatest unmet need for space."
Lilley added that the "very earliest
planning for a new addition to the
Academic Building - has begun. The
addition plans are far from final - in
fact, it has not yet been approved -
hut they will hopefully include more
office space, a psychology lab, a
communications lab, and possibly
more classrooms.
Other areas that will he renovated
in the future include Turnbull and the
walkways on campus. The U.S.
Office of Civil Rights recently
surveyed the campus and cited ways
to make the walkways more
accessihle.
Finally, Lillev is "determined to
remove all of the temporary buildings
in the next five years: the two
Carriage House annexes
Turnbull annex with the adjacent
little white building, and the three
Otto Behrend annexes."

However, if University Park asks us
about a particular workstation we can
find out who was using it and for how
long, but not what they were doing on
the workstation, - stated Mr. Ron
Hoffman, F3ehrend's manager of
network and information systems,
Even at campuses that have banned
Napster, students are finding ways
around the block. A program called
Napigator reroutes the Napster service.
The tree service Nettcro is another
alternative.
"University Park has very good
monitoring software and will
eventually he able to track other
programs. It is somewhat of a cat and
mouse game, but the security office
can get the programs students use and
analyze them. The University is on
top of it," added Hoffman.

that the price of a full CD is too high.
Also, recorded music sold worldwide
in 1999 was at a record high of $4O

for the first half of this year.
The arguments are strong on both
sides of this debate. Penn State has
inlOrmed students that anyone using
the network is subject to review
through special software. If a student's
computer is responsible for trading
copyrighted materials, then that
student is subject to a more thorough

to work out any further problems. Any
further infringement of copyrighted
work after this process will result in a
suspended account.
Matt Smith, 05 Computer

State wants to curtail its use to free up
space. To me it is illegal to scan
individual computers, hut Penn State
can monitor individual ports, so if the
Napster port does not change, then
they know you are using Napster. If
Napster were completely eliminated
the Penn State system [could] still
crash on us . . . anyone who knows
anything about computers will find a
way around it."
Thom Sargent, 03 MIS, said, "The e
mail was very carefully written
because Penn State seems to be limited
in what they can do. It seemed like an
effort to scare us. As long as you have
passwords on your files placed on the
network, then it is illegal for Penn State
to peruse through your files."
Hoffman disagrees with Smith and
Sargent. He feels that there is a way
to make the Penn State network better.

Jazz quartet kicks off
Music at Noon Series
On Monday, September 25, the
Logan Wintergarden Series: Music at
Noon kicked off in grand style thanks
to the help of the musical group
Bassoon in the Wild, a quartet of
musicians who did their best to jazz
up the crowd.
Bassoon in the Wild is headed up
by Michael Rabinowitz on the
bassoon, and includes musicians
Diana Herhold, who
,plays the
vibrittiottetd The madrrilt; Grisha
Aleximon'the drums; andbe Fonda
on the bass. Rabinowitz and Alexiev
also write songs for the group. They
recently released a CD entitled
Bassoon in Orbit, which was recorded
earlier this year in Staten Island
Bassoon in the Wild played five
songs at Monday's concert. One,
which was written by Charlie Parker,
was called "Blues for Alice," and
demonstrated a be-bop, twelve
measures blues song. The other four
songs in the series were written by
members of the group, with three by
Rabinowitz and one by Alexiev.
The second song was by
Rabinowitz and was titled "Indian
Waltz." This song was a rework of
the jazz standard Cherokee, with a

MEMO
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2000
"If programs like Napster were
eliminated, the performance
improvement would he noticeable. If
a student account were used solely for
academic use the network would show
significant improvement, especially in
the residence halls. Computer games
can also he a problem, hut they are
minor concerns at this point," stated
tioffman.
Even if the court in San Francisco
upholds the initial decision banning
Napster, the battle will continue.
There are many other similar programs
on the Internet, and even the best
tracing software has its problems.
Needless to say this debate is tar from
over. This nit:ails Penn State will have
lot more hugs to work out on this
issue, but for the time being the
University is standing firm on their
decision to tree up bandwidth.

change from the fast 4/4 rhythm to a
waltz, which gives the song an easier
to-listen-to flow.
The third of the five songs, also by
Rabinowitz, was "Nica's Rainbow,"
which was written and named for his
eight-year-old daughter. This song
was the slowest and most dramatic of
the songs played and really helped to
demonstrate the extremes of the
bassoon's range. It also featured a
beautiful solo by Rabinowitz.
The fourth song written was by
drummer Grisha Alexiev and was
;Ow ".y.eming Curve." This. was
the song that the audience seeimed to
most appreciate. Alexiev was the
soloist for this song. When the song
was over, the applause was
tremendous and outlasted that of any
of the other songs by a wide margin.
The last song performed was
another by Rabinowitz titled "First
Night Blues." This song had the
audience clapping along to the beat
at the beginning, thanks to
vibraphonist Diana Herhold setting
the example and clapping along to the
bassoon and drum. The entire song
was the fastest-paced song of the day.
The next edition of the Music at
Noon series is on Wednesday, October
25, featuring the Cypress String
Quartet.
