Two years ago, the Division
of Student Affairs and the
Student Government Associa
tion provided students with a
survey of what new services
and provisions they would
like to see occur on campus.
These "future" provisions
included many entertainment
based facilities, on-campus
services, and additional exer
cise rooms.
Many current students,
however, are unaware of these
improvements, especially

CAROLYN ZAFFINO
senior reporter
Since August groups of
students in Prof. Ursula
Davis' Public Relations
Media and Methods class
(Comm. 471) have been
working on getting the U.S.
Senate candidates to come
speak to the Behrend stu
dents.
Even though the candi -
dates themselves were un -
able to attend, they had their
own representatives come.
Mr. Dan Alfaro and Ms.
Judi Roth, representing Mr.
Pat Toomey and Rep. Joe
Sestak respectively, drove in
from Pittsburgh to answer
questions that Comm. 471
students wrote up.
Both were very happy to
be able to come talk to the
younger generation with
hopes of having us "take our
right to vote" as Ms. Roth
stated.
Roth pointed out that it is

those that are still in progress.
Currently, the copy center,
Jageman Fitness Room, DVD
Kiosk, and an additional game
room are still under way.
Behrend's copy center, for
instance, is not yet fully up
and running. This may be sur
prising, as many students al
ready have the opportunity to
copy magnets, t-shirts, and
easily access the copier
through the Rub Desk.
Directors are hoping to
move the center to the Reed
Union Building, where stu

enjoy these advantages with

The questions asked by
the student organizers
mainly focused on the candi
dates' stances and their
goals for education.
Ms. Roth said of how Rep.
Sestak wants to increase Pell
grants by more than $5,000;
whereas Mr. Alfaro said that
Mr. Toomey is more focused
on lowering taxes and rais
ing the child tax credit. Both
are very concentrated on
creating more jobs in Penn
sylvania and keeping them
here, which is of particular
interest to college students.
Another group from
Comm. 471 is sponsoring a
"Get out and Vote event"
next Thursday, Oct. 21 in
Bruno's café.
They will have a live show
with the bands Serenity Ren

performing.
There will also be live de
bates on Oct. 20 and 22 at 7

and Rep.'Sgak; and will

update on the DVD center is
that Behrend is currently sav
ing money and working with
Time Warner as a means to
provide the movie selections.
The good news: Behrend's
chancellor is aware of our
growing anticipation, and, as
Ken Miller put it "wants it
done sooner rather than
later."
Lastly, Behrend is still in the
process of creating the game
room for Lawrence Hall.
The renovations were set to
take place last year, but have
been delayed because of last
fall's fire accident at Dobbins.
For now, the game room re-

On a higher note, Ken

Behrend directors "...set up a
meeting a few weeks ago to
discuss future renovations."
Hopefully, this game room,
along with the rest of these
unfinished projects will be
seen on campus in the near
future. Students can defi
