Behrend benefactor Fasenmyer dies
Behrend alumnus and benefactor Richard Fasenmyer died during the holiday
break and was buried in Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery on Dec. 31, 2002.
Two years ago, Fasenmyer was named a Distinguished Alumnus by the Board
of Trustees. Behrend nominated him for the distinction, the University’s highest
award for alumni.
Fasenmyer attended Behrend from 1965-67, then went on to earn a bachelor’s
degree in accountng in 1969 from Smeal College of Business. Over time he
became a successful business leader, serving as chairman and CEO of RJF Inter-
national
In 1992, Fasenmyer became the first Behrend alumnus to contribute $1 mil
lion to the college, and the college named its new plastics processing laboratory
building in his honor. In 2002, Fasenmyer pledged an additional gift of $1 mil
lion to help purchase property for future campus enhancement in accordance
with the college’s master plan. Burke said Fasenmyer’s estate may provide fur
ther support for the college, but it will be some time before details are known.
M.I.S.C. makes duplex copying standard
One goal of the Greener Behrend Task Force is college-wide reduction of pa
per use. To help meet that goal, the Media and Instructional Support Center will
begin duplexing (making back-to-back copies) as a standard procedure begin
ning this semester.
For some projects this may not be acceptable. If your project requires one
sided copying, specify that on the copy request form and your request will be
honored. Otherwise, any jobs not specifically requesting single-sided copying
will automatically be done back to back.
If you have questions about this new policy, call M.I.S.C. at X 6121 for clarifi
cation.

Other colleges and universities have
also suffered from hackers. According
to an article in PCWORLD.com, during
February of 2000, a student from
Northeastern University in Boston was
able to break into NASA's and the
Department of Defense's computers via
a hijacked corporate account. The
student also downloaded personal
information of more than 9,000 students
and faculty, which had social security
numbers and dates of birth among them.

calendar page editor
“Reaching the Dream One Step at a
Time" is the theme for the Martin Luther
King Jr. Birthday Celebration 2003,
sponsored by the Office of Educational
Equity and co-sponsored by the Multi-
Cultural Council.
“The idea is to spread diversity and to
understand that he was a great leader,”
said Fdalia George, president of the
Multi-Cultural Council.
The celebration began with a
presentation by critically acclaimed
filmmaker Spike Lee, director of award
winning films such as “Jungle Fever,”
“Crooklyn,” “Malcolm X,” and “Do the
Right Thing.” The Lion Entertainment
Board and the Multi-Cultural Council
co-sponsored the showing of “Do the
Right Thing” on Monday and “Malcolm
X” on Tuesday, both at 7:30 p.m. in Reed
117.
The annual Family Breakfast will take
place on Monday for students, faculty
and staff, from 7:15 - 8 a.m. in Bruno’s
Cafe.
Traditionally, Martin Luther King
celebrated his birthday with a breakfast
that included his family and friends. The
celebration will begin the same way to
symbolize our coming together as a
campus community to honor this great
leader.
The Annual Celebration Program,
“Reflections on the Dream; America
Through Their Eyes,” will take place on
Jan. 30, from 4-5 p.m. in Erie Hall.

Burleigh and Carol Crockett Elementary

to do with the youth, and this is a way to
get the children involved with the
celebration,” said George.
In addition, students will visit the City
Mission to assist in different capacities.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
Celebration has been going on for many
years. At least 1000 people attend,
making this one of the biggest events
on campus.
“This event has always been
successful, but could be better,” said
George
Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday is
celebrated at all of the Penn State
campuses, as well as many other
colleges. However, most of the other
colleges have the day off, in which the
event is celebrated on that day.
Penn State Behrend would like to
thank the Office of Educational Equity,
along with Andy Herrea, Chris Rizzo,
Stacey McCoy, Cambell Bullock, Carrie
Paine, Scott Soltis, and, members of the
Multi-Cultural Council, including
Edalia George and Sharise Finley, for
their time and support of these events.
All of the events are free, they are
open to the public, and all are welcome
to attend.
“Please come out and support the
celebration,” said George. “The
commitment of Martin Luther King Jr.
needs to be honored.”
