backups happen more during the early afternoon
hours when most classes are letting out. By the time
students walk to their vehicles and try to pull out,
they are stuck in a commotion of traffic.
Parking lots are backed up with students trying
to pull out of every row. Others try to pull onto the
main roads while waiting for a Good Samaritan to
allow them to pull out. With all this commotion
comes the fact that many of these students leaving
are on their way to jobs. If there is a long backup of
traffic, there is an issue with time.
"Traffic does not help when you have to go to
work or to an appointment, - Landon said. "We have
other places to be and in the end speed to make it
on time."
"There are cars backed up beyond Police and
Safety ever yday," said Chad Seidler, DUS 04.
"Once you get past the stop sign, you have to wait
at the lights near the new highway. It's not any faster
than what it used to be."
What can be done? In light of the fact that there
have been new projects here on campus, a new road
built toward the back area of Behrend is just one of
many ideas
"With a new entrance and exit road, traffic would
become less congested and it would be quicker for
students to get in and out of the lots," said Landon.
Would adding a new road help? Or would prob
lems still stay? Teresa Toro, COMBA 06, does not
think traffic is that had, but she thinks a new road
would make things easier.

to and from class, especially when coming from
the new highway, - Toro said. "You could pick
which road to take depending on which side of cam
pus you need to be on. -
"I think a new road would just add more traffic,
which is what we are trying to get away from," said
Seidler. "Other drivers will drive through just to
see the campus closer and then there will be argu
ments about whether or not new lights or stop signs
should be added."
ENGINEERING...
With five CAD labs, four electrical labs and a
Senior Design lab room, the School of Engineer
ing keeps the technology extremely current, updat
ing systems and equipment every two to four years.
"Our facilities are really strong, excellent, and very
available," said Dr. Ralph Ford. professor of Elec
trical and Computer Engineering.
Also new is the Nanotechnology minor offered
by the School of Science.
"Many of our students from computer, electrical
and software engineering will he interested in this
minor," said Ford.
There are also strong ties between the School of
Engineering and School of Science. Many of the
engineering students must take various physics,
chemistry and math courses to complete their de
gree requirements.
"Behrend has a relatively young, relatively small
engineering school with wonderful opportunities,"
said Lasher. "The students have really responded
well to the environment. -
