men’s volleyball as a varsity
sport when the NCAA declared
it would offer a D-111 Champi
onship to men’s volleyball.
“The athletic department has
discussed making it a varsity
sport for the past few years and
now is the right time,” said Phil
Pisano, the head coach of
women's volleyball.
Pisano will take on twice the
amount of coaching duties once
the men’s team is formed.
“I have never had to start a
program from scratch before,”
Pisano said.
“It will be difficult, but we al
ready have a lot of interest from
recruits. The western Pennsyl
vania and New York regions
are good for finding volleyball
talent.”

“The labels will educate stu
dents so that they know they
can be a part of our movement
towards a greener Behrend,”
said Ann Quinn, a staff member
of Greener Behrend. “We want
them to know that they can be
an important little factor in a big
picture.”
While single-stream recycling
can make disposing products
easier, there can be disadvan
tages to it.
Quinn said that the disadvan
tages are only apparent when
single-stream recycling is at
tempted on a small scale.
“Big businesses, such as
Waste Management, wouldn’t
do single-stream recycling if it
did not benefit them,” Cerroni
said.

their biggest issue as that it's up

Steeter said he hopes that

out for the team in 2011.
“Hopefully the men and
women volleyball
teams... build a winning
bond at Behrend.”

“There will be some club
members who won’t want to
compete at the varsity level due
to time commitment," Steeter
said. “It will be Coach Pisano’s
job to recruit on campus and in
the surrounding regions.”
The second largest obstacle
want to recycle or not.
“Not everyone has to believe
in single-stream recycling," Cer
roni said. “But everyone should
be aware that Behrend has it.”
Greener Behrend plans on
promoting single-stream recy
cling and exponentially increas
ing the number of recycling bins
as part of their movement.
The club is applying for a
$l,OOO grant to place recycling
bins in every room in Niagara
Hall and compare the amount of
recycling there to Lawrence
Hall.
“We need quantifiable data to
show how much more will be re

men’s season plays out while
Behrend’s basketball teams are
in season.
“We will utilize the Junker
Center and Erie Hall during the
men’s volleyball season,"
Streeter said. “We will play
once at home against every
team in our conference and up
to 10 more home games.”
Pisano says that he wants to
be able to boast Behrend as a
volleyball school to recruits.
“Coaching year-round is
going to be a real challenge, but
everyone in the athletic depart
ment works hard all of the
time,” Pisano said. “Hopefully,
the men and women volleyball
teams support each other and
build a winning bond at

Quinn said.
The only control factor in the
pilot program will be recycling
trash cans in every Niagara Hall
room, while Lawrence Hall
maintains the same recycling
system it has now.
"The question we have to ask
is, is the lack of convenience for
students prohibiting them from
being more efficient recyclers?"
Cerroni said.
Greener Behrend and resident
assistants will work together to
promote the single-stream recy

When the men returned to
the court, they were deter
mined to finish the game and
maintain the lead that they had
in the first half.
"In the first half we came out
and scored and with the will
that we needed to win,” said
junior Chris Saltzman.
“We also shot the ball ex
tremely well in the first half and
continued that throughout the
game that was a huge part to
our success in that game. We
also played good defense."
The Lions’ were capable of
doing that with senior Adam

points in the game. Junior

standout with 17 points and five
rebounds. Freshman Russ Con-

Before starting the Dob

one of the co-founders of the
now famous series of Cali

blown choatic winds of heat

countless American homes
over the last 10 years.

While Behrend had a minor
breakdown in the second half,
allowing Alvernia to narrow the
point deficit, the Lions were
still able to maintain the lead
for their win through free
throws and easy shots towards
the end of the game.
