Editorial Opinion
Optimism A ire d
For Winter Term
A review of the past term can be summarized-"better
planning through better communications." With this in mind
Behrend has finally begun to turn the wheels toward the
fulfillment of their four-year status. Utilizing both old and
new methods, the administration, faculty, and students have
successfully strived to implement those necessary direc
tions.
Leaders have continuously stressed this need for better
communication. An encampment was held prior to the
beginning of the term. A campus council was formed and
work has begun. Faculty committees stressed participation
as a means to this goal. A "Daily Bulletin" is set to roll for
winter. And an encampment review will wind up this term.
Thus the gap in communication has slowly closed, and
much effective planning has already evolved. Obviously,
there is much more to be done. The Collegian remains op
timistic in that this is only the beginning. we hope we are
correct.

Upcoming Final Examinations
See the 'All-Niter' Ordeal
by Doug Leichliter
Managing Editor
Fall term is soon coming to a
close and the Christmas season
draws nigh. However, if any
Behrend student is so foolish as to
think that any of the elusive
Christmas spirit is going to rub
on Behrend professors when it
comes time to pass out the
grades--baby, you're only kidding
yourself ! The time has come
when everyone should drag out
those dusty books that you paid
outrageous prices for at the
beginning of the year in an effort
to resurrect the term before your
parents crucify you when that
little packet of grades comes.
As any Behrend student worth
his salt knows, the only time to
start studying for a final is the
night before--about midnight,
right after you get back from
Kelly's. By now, you don't give
much of a danin what happens,
but for the sake of that $605 that
you have invested in the affair,
you will decide to give it that good
old college try.
There are certain prerequisites
necessary for any all-night study
session: Five gallons of scalding
hot black coffee, a quart bottle of
Vivarin, a gross of sharpened
pencils, and an empty
wastebasket. The windows
should also be wide open so that
you might remain awake just a
bit longer.
You, the student, will sit .and
stare at the book until you swear
that you know the thing front
wards and backwards. Every
little detail is in your brain, each
in its own little slot. With a
tremendous feeling of security
and poise your depart for your
meeting with destiny, walk
through the door-and everything
falls out. Your mind is a complete
washout.
Some students take the other
side of affairs and go to
tremendous lengths to get out of
studying. Anything else is more
important than sitting down with
that stack of five novels that you
have to read for English 131. You
will do your laundry, clean your
room, write letters to your first
grade teacher; anything but
Music Scene:
Barry Drake
Barry Drake, the 26 year old
"song" writer, performed at
Behrend on November 29, 30, and
December 1. Although Drake
writes "2 3" of what he does, his
sound seems to be a blend of
James Taylor, the Beatles,
Ernest Hemmingway, and Glen
Campbell. Originally from New
Jersey, Drake travels quite a bit.
For the last ten years his entire
scene has evolved around music
and he has moved from city to
city, broadening his musical
experience. He is traveling
through Erie ("Why is everyone
here when they can be
somewhere else?" ! on his way to
California. While in LA, Drake
plans to release a second album
(his first was "Happy Landing")
for "capitalistic Capitol" record
company.

study
Some students with courses
such as Chem 12 and Math 61
already know that they are
fighting a losing battle, but they
will gather in little groups in a
pitiful effort to stave off the
disaster that they know is
coming.
Taking the final itself is a
session in frustration. Many of the
professors dote on those com
puterized things which take half
of the alloted time just to fill out
all the necessary blanks. Of
course you left your handful of
No. 2 pencils in your other coat
just like everyone else, which
results in a scramble to get to
those who brought extras before
200 Bozos Bark
Inside Hotels
by Charles Eschweiler
Due to lack of having anything
else written= atpresstiMeandlibe
fact that I'm having a.hard time
consolidating a projected
retrospective of Spirit albums
into a reasonable amount of
space to fit in the - Collegian,*this
week's music column consists of
little capsule reviews of current
albums you might be considering
to buy friends, relatives, etc. for
Christmas presents.
"BARK.
PLANE"
Oh boy! Another real
revolutionary album from the
Airplane that's just up yer alley
brothers and sisters, but if you're
looking for musical value, go
elsewhere. If anyone would have
told me the Airplane was going to
be into this kind of shit back in '6B
I couldn't have believed them. .
.however, the paper bag the Bark
album comes in is great fun and
has all sorts of folksy things
written on it.
FROM "THE INSIDE". . .POCO
There is finally a lot of interest
in Poco (mainly due to their fine
live album "Deliverin") and
after two and a half years of
existence, four great albums, and
some fine state shows, I would
say it's about time. The new
PQCO album is strong on ballads
and snappy little guitar work, the
standout track, Richie
Furays',"What If I Should Say I
Love You". is one of the finest
rock ballads since the Nazz did
•Hello It's Me." All in all, the
"From the Inside" LP is one of
those great party albums you can
put on when you and your punk
friends are sitting there swilling
down beer and musing over
assorted good times.
"TWO HUNDRED MOTELS"
"THE MOTHERS OF IN
VENTION"
Lewd pulsating rhythms - the
sound of back alley activity
trailer park freakouts! Roving
bands of armed black youths-hot
teenage romance-tender and
poignant-dope, sex, and semi
cheap thrills-is this what we've
come this far for?-will Glen and

CRUSADERS
December 2, 1971
someone else gets there and
takes the last one.
On the other hand, there are
those who swear that the only
way to take a final is under the
influence. Theoretically, your
inhibitions are released and the
knowledge flows a bit more
smoothly onto the paper.
The true story of the situation is
that the majority of the Behrend
professors devoutly say that they
do ,not believe in final
examinations and that they do
not prove - a thing. What this
writer would like is for someone
to tell me why the profs who
disown finals . , so vehemently
always give the hardest tests?
Randa find the food stamps?-who
cut the chees y ?-romance of a
horsethief-Hell bent on leather
festive suburban barbecues-wild
freaked out hippies-do your
parentS know you're there? "Two
Hundred Motels" is the sound
track to Frank Zappa's movie,
"TWO HUNDRED MOTELS"
(everyone in the movie plays
themselves except for Zappa,
who is played by Ringo Starr). If
you come from an unusual
family, the soundtrack is great
family fun.
"WE'RE ALL BOZO'S ON THE
BUS"
"FIRESTONE THEATRE"
If you liked the last Firesign
Theater, you'll like the new one,
if their Nick Danger type of stuff
(straight comedy bits) is more to
your taste BOZO's will probably
confuse you. I like it.
Ruef
Engaged
The Behrend Collegian is proud
to announce the engagement of
Dave Ruef (4th-SEC ED,
English), our Sports Editor, to
Gerri Bressan, a sophomore
accounting student at Gannon
College.
After 15 months deliberation,
Ruef finally popped the question
Friday, November 26. The exact
date is undecided, but the happy
event should take place
sometime in early August.
We at the Collegian want to
wish Gerri and Dave all the
happiness and good luck in the
world.
Editor's Note
The ROTC recommendation in
"Academic Planning Proposes
New Position" (November 18,
issue 8) was misrepresented. The
program would not be offered at
the Behrend Campus, but would
be offered through the Behrend
Campus at Gannon College in
Erie.
