for the phrase, said in a poem, "First in
war, first in peace, first in the hearts of
our country." Butts used this well-known
quote as a basis for his speech.
He elaborated on "first in war" by
pointing out "nobody wants to go to war,
but somebody better know how to fight."
He further explained war is protection of
the privileges and freedoms we enjoy as
Americans but often take for granted.
Butts, a major advocate for ending
homelessness and poverty, explained
many people are sent off to war because
they live in poverty and cannot afford a
better way of life. "If you are going to
send Americans off to fight, they have to
have something to come home to fight
for," he said, referring to citizens who live
in poverty and have nothing to look
forward to but more misery when
returning home.
Butts next addressed the line "first in
peace" by saying we, as American
citizens, must learn to live with one
another, to stay strong as a nation, and to
stand up against terrorism whether it he

a representative from the ACS came and personally reviewed the
entire chemistry program. Finally, Behrend was granted the ap-

Since the approval, the science program has made some addi
tions to the chemistry program that are required in order to meet
the standards set by the ACS. Analytical chemistry and biochemis
try have been added to the curriculum, and physical chemistry is
now offered every year. The labs and classrooms have been up
dated and expanded with the newest technological equipment. The
library also subscribes to specific chemistry and science journals
and has extended collections in these topics.
Behrend must continue to keep up with the requirements of the
ACS, which change as materials are improved and national cur
riculum for the program alters. The School of Science must com
plete a report and submit it to ACS, stating what has been done or
completed, any new changes, and the courses that are involved with
chemistry. If the college does not uphold the standards of the ACS,
its national approval can be withdrawn.

across seas or in our homeland. He told
the audience to "hold onto this fragile
unity; pray hard." He said that the enemy
lies within, and the enemy is ourselves
and our hatred toward each other. It is
only through understanding and mutual
respect, he said, that we can stay united.
He concluded his speech by again
asking, "What's next?"
"We are going to the next level;
America will be the land of the free and
the home of the brave," he said.
After Butts concluded his lecture, a
question and answer forum was opened.
Moses began by asking, "What can we do,
as students at Penn State Behrend?"
Butts replied that we must look at
foreign policy to begin to understand what
we did as a nation to make so many people
angry with us. He reiterated American
citizens must deal with the issues of
poverty in America before money is spent
on war and on other countries. He finished
the question by pointing at the audience
and saying, "What's next is on your
shoulders."
