September 30, 1971 Historic Battle Lends. Names To Buildings Dobbins Hall To Begin Service Next Month University Park, Pa., June Two new buildings on the Behrend Campus of The Penn sylvania State University have been given names associated with the Battle of Lake Erie in which American forces won control of the Lake in the War of 1812. The Board of Trustees of the University has designated a 200- student residence hall, the third on the Campus, as Lawrence Hall, after the flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Perry Hall was opened in 1968 and Niagara Hall the following year. Lawrence Hall, which will house male and female students in separate units, is due for completion by September. A new food services building at the campus will be named Dobbins Hall, after Captain Daniel Dobbins, the man who constructed Perry's fleet. The building will contain kit chen facilities and a large dining room for Behrend's 600 resident students. It also will be com pleted by September. The Lawrence began as Goals Announced B The Faculty Senate The Behrend Campus Faculty Organization is looking forward to a promising year. The Faculty Senate is expecting a certain amount of student participation (as advice.) Richard Tomsic, Chairman of the Behrend Faculty Senate, stated that the goal of this year's organization isto satisfy the needs of all students and interact students and faculty for "the best education possible.'

Halberg Jr., Behrend's former Security Officer. Halberg resigned July 16, 1971, ". . . for personal reasons." according to Robert C. Baughman, Business Manager for Behrend Campus. Halberg, who had served thirteen years in the Navy, and as a Pinkerton Guard at five dif ferent colleges, was hired originally as a Pinkerton Guard early in November 1970. At that time, the Pinkertons heralded the end of the infamous "rent-a cops" who formerly had handled security at Behrend. Halberg was noted for his in terest in his work and in students. On December 7, 1970 he was formally hired to fill the position of Security Officer which had been created the previous summer, but had remained open until that time. Under Halberg, Security quickly established itself as an important and viable part of Behrend. Baughman said, "Considering what he faced, he built everything out of nothing." Halberg established the position of student marshal to handle incoming calls after hours and to be available in the case of Perry's flagship, but was reduced to ruins during the battle in 1813. Perry then transferred the flag to another ship, The Niagara, and shortly forced the British to surrender. It was following this -battle, which gave the United States control of Lake Erie, that Perry made his famous statement : "We have met the enemy and they are ours." The Behrend Campus tradition of naming buildings after historical events can be traced partially to Alfred S. Brownell a leading naval historian. Mr. Brownell was the brother of Mrs. Mary Brownell Behrend, who donated the land for the Campus. Mr. Brownell had more than 30 years experience in model shipbuilding, giving great at tention to detail. In 1955 he donated a model of The Niagara to the campus, where it is on display. Mr. Brownell spent more than 3,300 hours working on the model. A series of models by Mr. Brownell is on permanent display in the Providence, R. 1., Public Library. and advises the construction of buildings and parking areas on campus; Academic Planning Committee, which decides what is important academically; Student Service Committee, which emphasizes the interaction of student, faculty and advising; `this committee is considered the most important for students); Library Committee, which directs all things concerning the library; the Improvement of Teaching Committee, which relates itself with the adoption of new teaching methods; and the Faculty Affairs Committee, which is concerned with the social events and welfare of the faculty. emergencies. policies of Security were However, during the building of reviewed and rewritten during the Security Office, evaluations the Spring Term last year. became necessary as a drifting At the moment, the post of away from the philosophy of Security Officer is open. security was noted.
