United Way begins campaign
Wednesday, Oct.lo, marked the beginning of Penn State Behrend's 2001 United Way
Campaign. This effort will last for three weeks, during which time volunteers will ask for
the donations of students, faculty, and staff to help meet this year's goal of $35,000.
More than 700 organizations and companies are taking part in the 2001 campaign for
United Way, whose Erie County chapter funds programs at 39 member agencies. These
funds go towards aiding children and seniors, strengthening families, increasing self-suffi
ciency, and promoting health and healing.
This year, donors are asked to consider giving additional funds to "The September I I
Fund," which will direct resources to the efforts in New York, Washington, D.C.. and Penn
sylvania. All money contributed to this fund will go to aid in the disaster relief. Requests
for additional information should be directed to campaign coordinator Catherine Nanhauser
at x 6172.

Contributors are asked to leave their phone books on the floor next to the wastebasket
or the large paper recycling containers.
Film Series continues
Behrend's International Film Series will continue on Monday, Oct. 22, with a 7 p.m.
showing of "Time Regained" in the Reed Lecture Hall. The film is an adaptation of the
final volume in Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time."
The film, which begins in 1922, is set during and after World War II centers around a
group of French aristocrats. It tells a tale of one man's memory of lost love, old friend
ships, and dark secrets. The film begins in 1922 on Proust's deathbed. By the end of the
film, the lives of the characters in his novels take precedence over his own, and fact
succumbs to fiction.
The series, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the School of Hu
manities and Social Sciences. For more information, call x6lOB.

Yes, this is a picture of some Beacon editors reading the BUDPOT. No wonder it now takes us until 2 a.m. every Thursday to
get the Beacon off to the printer the BUDPOT is distributed early Thursday afternoon and we spend all day reading it!
Maybe the BUDPOT people are trying to sabotage our paper! But seriously guys, why don't you come on down and introduce
yourselves? Maybe we can get together for a collaboration for April Fools!
