...And then there wasn't one. Despite interviews and visits from four candidates, the Provost Search
committee has not yet reached a decision on who the next Dean of Behrend will be. Meanwhile, Interim
Provost and Dean Jack Burke (right) continues to lead Behrend while the interviews continue. Burke, who
has chosen not to pursue the provost position, assumed his current role after long-time Behrend Dean John
Lilley announced his resignation in April of 2001 to assume a position at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Candidates who have been interviewed so far include (from left), W. Hubert Keen, Kendall Blanchard, Peter
Kasvinsky, and Sandra Gleason.
Schenker retires as Behrend's registrar,
Bayuk assumes role
Bob Schenker, Behrend's registrar since July 1, 1979, sits between the two most important women in his life (his
mother Clara and wife Carolyn) during a farewell gathering in the McGarvey Commons on Sept. 19, 2001. Schenker
served the Penn State community for 33 years. "I was pleasantly pleased to see all my family and friends, and I loved
the comments of the speakers," said Schenker. Major Zangus from ROTC presented Schenker an award for out
standing support of the ROTC program. Other speakers included Dr. Jack Burke, Mike Chiteman, and Dr. James
Kurre and his wife Gail.
Mary Ellen Bayuk, Schenker's replacement, has been in the Penn State system for 14 years. She was the Registrar
for Penn State's McKeesport and New Kensington campuses, as well as a substitute Registrar at the Beaver campus.
She was also the Registrar at St. Vincent College in Greensburg, PA. Bayuk has also had experience teaching English
for the women's division of a teaching institution in Saudi Arabia.

Two new fields dazzled the entrance of Penn
State Behrend. The softball and baseball
teams were overjoyed to start their 2002 sea
sons on these pristine additions to the cam
pus.
It was awhile since both teams were able to
host games, but that was forever changed. En
thusiastic players and coaches, as well as fans,
were ready to walk on the untouched fields as
a season packed with many games started in
late March.
