Erie Insurance Group Leadership
Scholarship created
This spring the first Leadership Scholarship created with a $300,000
endowment from the Erie Insurance Group will be awarded. All outstand
ing undergraduates who are in the mathematics or management informa
tion systems program or plan to be so are eligible, with special consider
ation given to students whose parents work for the Erie Insurance Group.
Provost and Dean Dr. John M. Lilley expressed his gratitude to Erie
Insurance for an “investment that will forever benefit students and create a
pool of skilled employees for the region.” ERIE President and Chief
Executive Officer Stephen A. Milne, meanwhile, cited the benefits of the
company’s association with the college.
“Many outstanding Erie Insurance employees have graduated from Penn
State Behrend,” said Milne. “Relationships like the one we have with
Penn State Behrend help us establish connections with outstanding candi
dates early in their career development.”
Lilley addresses First Amendment
rights on campus
At the Provost’s Advisory Committee meeting on Friday, March 2,
Provost and Dean Dr. John M. Lilley expressed his commitment to main
taining a better balance between community standards of decency and
First Amendment rights of students in campus events.
Praising University President Graham Spanier for the skillful manner in
which he addressed the question posed to him at the legislative budget
hearings in Harrisburg, Lilley reiterated that First Amendment rights will
always be upheld while finding an appropriate way to present events to the
college community.
Director of Student Affairs Ken Miller added that he and his staff have
frequent communication with student groups, and they work together to
determine where an event which may be deemed offensive to some may
be placed so as to accommodate all parties concerned.

by Andrea Bolton
staff writer
Musical notes bellowed throughout the
Reed Wintergarden on Monday, March 26,
during the Triple Helix performance,
which was a part of Music at Noon: The
Logan Wintergarden Series. Students, fac
ulty, and community members sat in as the
group expressed a variety of moods and
emotions through the use of three instru
ments. The group consists of violin played
by Bayla Keyes, Lois Shapiro on the pi
ano, and cello played by Rhonda Rider.
The group explained each piece, the his
tory on why it was written, and the mood
that is portrayed in each movement. The
first piece, by Joseph Haydn, was very
light and happy, whereas the second piece,
by Dmitri Shostakovich, was about World
War II and Soviet Russia. Keyes explained
