Cut In Budget Ded ;-.1•
Funds Requested Halved
Funds requested for the
Behrend Campus 1971 - 1972
budget totaled approximately
$10,500, but the University Park
alloted only about half of the
requested sum $5,800. This
sum has been divided in half to
suit the needs of the various clubs
and organizations in the first half
of the year when there are more
activities occurring, and the
second half of the year when the
majority of money raising
projects are put into effect, and
activities slacken off.
For the first half of the year,
sums totaling $3,150 have been
alloted, and the remaining $2,650
has been set aside for distribution
for the second half of the year.
Because of the drastic cut
made in the sum originally
requested for the budget, the
budgets submitted by the 17
different service clubs and
organizations had to be reviewed,
and funds distributed according
to need. This job was done by
four people Al Quinlan, SGA
president; Joe Zani, vice
president SGA; Sandra Stewart,
SGA treasurer, and Bruce
Zimmerman, a member of the
Student Union Board. Zim
merman's assistance was asked
for because of his past experience
in handling financial matters for
certain clubs on campus.
Of the 17 service clubs and
organizations, only one club
the Behrend Readers had their
budget refused. Quinlan said that
the reason was because of a very
vague outline of needs and ex

When questioned about the
Readers budget application, Mrs.
Marion Flaherty, club adviser,
said that she simply followed last
year's procedure. Mrs. Flaherty
emphasized that there is no pre
set procedure for club advisers to
follow in forming a club's budget.
Also, Mrs. Flaherty suggested
that a system of checks and
balances be set up for allocating
all funds.

Service Committee
Initiated at
The SGA passed a resolution
creating the Behrend Community
Service Committee at their
second official meeting this year.
As briefly outlined within the
resolution, it is hoped that the
committee can coordinate the
desires and needs of a number of
segments of the Behrend and
Erie communities.
The initiation of the Com
munity Services Committee is a
logical step in the trend toward
greater student citizenship in this
country. The "establishment"
has finally conceded the right to
vote to eighteen-year olds. Just
as important, the college youth
will be allowed to vote in the
locale of their college (at least in
some states). Hand-in-hand with
these newly found rights are the

been the only Commonwealth
Campus to suffer cuts in its
budget, and the curiosity of many
is being aroused. It is a fact that
University Park has been ac
cepting fewer freshmen on"
campus each year. Why then,
with more and more freshmen
pouring into the commonwealth
campuses, are the budgets being
cut instead of being met? Al
Quinlan is presently writing a
letter to John W. Oswald,
President of PSU, in search of an
explanation.

responsibilities of increased
citizenship: greater participation
in activities which benefit the
community as a whole.
This participation is also vital
in the fulfillment of a student's
responsibility to his own
education. Actual experiences of
the dynamics of the diverse
elements of a community such as
Erie is an invaluable learning
situation for such subjects as
sociology and political science.
The Committee will work with
two other segments on the
campus: the faculty and the
administration. An integral part
of the coordinating effort will be
to inject active student par
ticipation in the community as
part of relevant courses and to
create new courses which deal
with this as their main theme.
Finally, the Committee will be
charged with coordinating the
needs of the various community
agencies with the desired volume
and level of participation ex
pressed by the students, faculty
and administration of Behrend.
Active acceptance and par
ticipation in the endeavors of the
Committee are necessary if this
innovative project is to be a
success.
The Committee will consist of
three persons to be appointed by
the President of SGA. All in
terested persons should pick up
an application at the Union Board
desk beginning Friday. All ap
plications should be returned
there by October 22. All ap
plications will be interviewed by
a screening committee the
following week. The an
nouncement of those appointed to
the Committee will have to be
approved by the SGA at their
October 27 meeting.

Byrd Quintet
SUB presents the Charlie Byrd Quintet in concert on
Wednesday, October 20, at 8 p.m. in Erie Hall. The Quintet
blends jazz, classical and popular music in their "blues and
Bach" performances.
"Blues and Bach"
Live at Behrend
The Charlie Byrd Quintet will
be coming to Behrend Campus on
October 20th, at 8 p.m. in Erie
Hall. Admission will be 50c for
Behrend students with activity
cards and $1.50 for other Behrend
students. Admission for general
public will be $2.
In the past decade, Charlie
Byrd has emerged on the in
ternational music scene as a
guitar giant. Byrd has captured
virtually every major award
available to a guitarist, including
DOWNBEAT magazine's IN
TERNATIONAL CRITIC'S
POLL and, for several year's
running, the PLAYBOY JAZZ
POLL.
In 1956, _Byrd produced an
album on - the SAVOY label,
BLUES FOR NIGI-IT PEOPLE
which markeda turning point in
his professional career. He has
since produced more than
twenty-four albums of his own
and has been featured on more
than two dozen others.
Byrd's versatility in the
literatuie of the guitar is said to
surpass that of anyone else. He is
a masterful jack of all guitar
trades, for, as well as studying
composition and music theory at
Manhattan's jazz -oriented
Hartnett National Music School,
he has also studied under the
great Spanish classical guitarist
Andres Segovia. Because of his

intensive training in classical
guitar in addition to a formidable
jazz background, Byrd is a
guitarist who works with equal
ease in the idioms of both
classical music and jazz.
Byrd does not attempt to
synthesize - jazz and classical
elements into a midstream of
modern music. Rather, he tries
to keep the work com
partmentalized, playing both
"blues and Bach" in the same
program. The technical
proficiency derived from - his
classical training opens up a new
level of performance—jazz
played on a classical guitar
without a pick or amplification.
A perfectionist, Byrd practices
at least three hours a day, and
even more when his schedule
allows. He is a compulsive ex
perimenter, and in recent years
has been studying the work of
Ravi Shankar, the sitarist. In the
summer of 1967 while in Los
Angeles, Byrd studied with
Shankar. Mr. Byrd and hiS
talented sidemen have done 200
or more college concerts and is
currently touring the U.S. college
scene with a very successful
quintet, doing a mixed program
of classical, jazz and the music of
today.

`Wild Bunch'
William Holden, Ernest
Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond
O'Brien and Warren Oates star in
an explosive adventure drama
"The Wild Bunch", about the last
of the legendary lawless breed
who lived to kill and killed to
live.
Pike Bishop (William Holden)
and his gang are outlaws of a sort
whose exploits 10 or 15 years
before might have been con
sidered heroic. But time had
passed them by. Even their arch
enemy, Deke Thornton (Robert
Ryan), thought they were
reliving past glories.
Director Sam Peckinpah is a
natural for a picture like "The
Wild Bunch". He comes from a
California family peppered with
judges, ranchers, and out
doorsmen. Beginning his career
as a writer, he emerged as a
director for the stage, television
and the screen. Pecldnpah's aim
in "The Wild Bunch was to
rejuvenate the Western film from
its tired image, known to every
American who owns a television
set.
He explains, "We're teling a
tale of hardened veterans of
Western outlawry. This is a story
of violent men who. lived during
the Mexican Revolution. The
brutal story must be told
honestly. 'The Wild Bunch' will
make Bonnie and Clyde' look
like a church picnic."
"The Wild Bunch" - will be
showing 7 and 9p.m. on Sunday,
October 17 in the RUB lecture
hall. The price of admission will
be 35c for students with activity
cards and $1 for students without
activity cards.
