"We try to have our faculty members talk to the employer about our academic programs because some [employers] are not familiar with Behrend. However, many hiring companies always come back for recruiting once they get their foot in the door," said Watters. "We'd like to focus on reaching out to more companies, especially to [provide] more oppor tunities for students in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences."

Students venturing to the computer labs need no longer worry if they brought their floppy disk. Plus, no more wasted hours of re-typing reports because the disk has been corrupted or left behind. The university has started providing network space, called "P Drives" for all stu dents at Behrend. This storage space was, until recently, only offered to students majoring in the engineering fields. Now all that is needed is for any student to access this space is to pick up an instruction sheet from the computer center or the Check out ll T E E A':: 7 ,iiii :-----:•-•-- ONLINE www.clubs.psuiedu/ Forgot to pick up your copy of the Beacon before leaving campus?

P Drive space is limited to 5 megabytes for students. Access of the drive is restricted to the lab areas and the computer kiosks located around the campus, hut that hasn't stopped 20% of students, with the number slowly increas ing, from taking full advantage. "It was popular with engineering students," remarked Todd Say, computer lab coordinator, "so we wanted to pro vide the students with a way to check their e-mail without a disk." P Drives are not only limited to saving email; one may save any file format that can be stored on a computer. Say also added that "since the information is stored on the net work, it is backed up daily... floppy disks are so fragile, it is easy to lose the information."
