As the cold wind stings
in our faces as we walk to
class on the other side of
campus, one cannot but
wonder how Behrend will
prepare for the inevitable
winter weather.
Luckily, Behrend has
managed to fight back the
snow with the help of our
maintenance staff, but how
do they manage to keep
Behrend up and running

Geering, the Behrend's
maintenance supervisor,
knows all there is to know
about preparing for snow.
" With thirty-seven
maintenance and opera

help of Housing & Food
Services staff in certain
areas, we have the man
power for the job." Geering
said.

rely on using just snow
shovels. They will be
equipped with a fleet of
