His coach, Greg Cooper,
expressed a similar senti
thent, "You can certainly
say that not having a fa
cility has limited our suc
cess, but I don't like to use
the phrase 'held us back.'
Track and Field has been
a varsity sport for the past
12 years at Penn State
Behrend, and in that time
we have had a few ath
letes qualify for and com
pete at the NCAA
championships... I know
with a track and field fa
cility many of those ath
letes would have received
that little boost they
needed. Our athletes
have been dedicated to
being better, overcoming
the obstacles set before
them and improving
every year. I think a new
facility will make us
stronger."

It would be an
honor to be on
Student Government Association as an Upperclass
Senator. I have held several leadership positions
throughout my school years including: vice presi
dent of the Excel Club, a philanthropy organization;
treasurer of the Future Business Leaders of America;
and editor of The Chancellor newspaper. As a trans
fer student, I would like to become more involved
by representing my fellow students at this school. I
have excellent ideas to contribute for helping to im
prove campus life. By becoming a senator on SGA I
can begin my journey towards making great deci
sions to influence the future of Behrend.
On the other side of that
coin, a new stadium
would also support and
service a larger gathering
of spectators.
Garrett Fiscus, a fresh
man center midfielder for
Boys Soccer said, "The
addition of the stadium
would improve our fan
base since the field will be
in a more central loca
tion. Also, the stadium
will certainly raise the
level of soccer for our
team."
Behrend Athletics is
competitive' and repre
sentative of the Blue and
White in every day deci
sions to sweat, bleed,
train and study hard.
Support is available to
these players from fellow
students. The faculty and
community are as com
mitted to the class as they
are the growth and devel
opment of each student
and the university as a
whole. This stadium
would be a monument to
that growth.

far, I would like to try and further improve
Behrend for future students. Something I would
like to change at Behrend, because I have expe
rienced this as an education major, are the limits
of some majors. Many students, myself included,
have had great experiences at Behrend but have
to leave due to the fact that they cannot finish
their major here. Therefore, if elected, I pledge
to work toward getting more complete majors
offered at Behrend to allow more students to
stay.

make."
She says that even though
she is the manager of
Bruno's, she still never
knows if she will need to help
money for their "bail". Al
though participants will be
allowed to leave after their
bail is reached, they will be
encouraged to stay the entire
time. This fundraiser will
narrow the court down to
eight males and eight fe
males, according to who
raised the most money dur

on Sept. 16. The committee
also aligned with the
Behrend Alumni Society, who
generously 'donated 500 dol
lars, adding to the previously
raised funds and making it
possible for thousands of dol
lars worth of prizes to be dis
tributed during homecoming
week.
The highlight of homecom
ing week is to take place on
Sept. 16 at 9:00 p.m. in the
Junker center: the white-out
homecoming dance.
"The white out theme is ap
propriate not only for Penn
State but also for Behrend
specifically. You have a
greater appreciation for the
term 'white-out' if you have
spent a winter in Erie," said
Jams. The dance is semi-for
mal, and the crowning of
homecoming king and queen
will take place at 9:30 p.m.
Tickets for the homecom
ing dance will go on sale on
October 4 and 5 from 11:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Reed and
the Jack Burke Center. They
will be available at the R.U.B.
desk on the following days
preceeding the dance.

When I hear the words
Student Government, I
think of campus leaders who represent and observe
the needs of the student body. In high school I held
positions in multiple clubs and organizations that
made me an effective leader. I want to continue to be
a leader here at Penn State. I am a dedicated and
hard working individual that wants to make Behrend
full of opportunities for the students. I believe I can
help accomplish this by becoming a SGA Senator. If
elected, I will dedicate the time and effort to fulfill
the needs and wants of all students.
