Club Rush: Spring recruitment for clubs continued from front page "Different clubs will be stationed in their offices, and prospective members can go see them in those offices," says Fedders. "That'll let stu dents know where those loca tions are for future involve ment in those clubs." Then, the effort becomes getting students to go to those offices, and that's where the prizes come in. "There's going to be a con test for prizes, where every one gets a card at registration and they have to go around to learn a little about different clubs, whether it's in the SGA office, [Lion Entertainment Board] office, or the Beacon office or any other," SGA President Stephen Burger says. "Then we'll have a little survey and students will have a chance to win a prize. We want to make it more inter active than just having tables where clubs hand out infor mation."

"I've had [Faculty Council Chair] Traci Halmi contact me about it and she was con cerned," he said. "Other administrators contacted me too. I haven't heard a word from any stu dent about them, but a lot of the faculty and staff were un hPPY•" ' Burger admits, though, that while intentions were right, the flyers were a little too callous.

Alli Heitzenrater, director of the Academic Affairs Com mittee, says that the reaction wasn't expected at all. The Behrend briefs Bruno's manager visits SGA Elizabeth Kerns, manager of Bruno's Cafe, visited the Behrend Student Government Association the week before Thanksgiving break, speaking about plans to improve Bruno's and fielding questions from senators.
