Dear Editor,
With more discussion of
extending visitation, I would like
to take this opportunity to let the
students know exactly how far we
have come with receiving the
amount of visitation we have.
At the beginning of the 1970-71
school year, we had visitation on
alternate Sundays. Perry Hall
had it t. om 2-5 p.m. one Sunday
and Niagara Hall had it the next
Sunday. After long hours and
many meetings, we received
visitation hours from 8-12 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, and hours
from 8:30-11:30 p.m. on Sundays
provided the doors were left open
and visitors signed in. Later, it
was decided that the doors did not
necessarily need to be open, so
tha rule - was abolished. This year,
the JRC has worked hard to get
visitation every day of the week
and abolish the sign-in sheets.
I hope you realize how far
visitation has come in just a year
and you will continue to help our
present visitation privileges be
perfected.
Thank you,
Sudee Potter
Mr. Thomas Doyle:
Thank you for your reply to our
letter. You asked for specific
problem areas to be defined so
that prompt action could be taken
towards rectifying this
Letters To The Editor
deplorable situation.
Firstly, the language lab-the
program is so distored at the
student booths that it is unin
telligible. For this reason.
students are unable to understand
it, record it, or in any way profit
by the experience. Often it is
played via the loudspeaker
because sufficient volume is
unavailable at the student booths.
It is interesting that although
several students and more than
one instructor have told this
committee that they complained
of these conditions to you, while
you were operating the lab, yet
you said that you were unfamiliar
with the problems there.
Secondly, films-your depart
ment has not always been able to
provide a projectionist with films
supplied to instructors, which
results oftentimes in mangled
movies : And when the projector is
operated correctly, the machine
itself will often fail. It would seem
that with the savings incurred
through not supplying a
projectionist or operating it
personally, you could have at
least one or two projectors
operating properly, or perhaps
teach all the instructors to run the
equipment.
Lastly the TV courses-when
used strictly as a substitute for an
instructor, the VTR and the

receivers must be operating in
the best possible way to provide
adequate instruction. One would
think that with the tremendous
resources available through
University Park, such as the A-V
- Hot Line, and the training
program you attended, plus the
facilities available locally, the
equipment could be kept in some
state of repair so that students
won't have to piece together
fragments from four poorly
operating receivers to try to
conceive what the program
consists of. Nor would it be out of
place to suggest that a
representative from UP or
Ampex instruct your student
operators in the proper operation
and cleaning of the VTR: it is
after all a delicate (and ex
pensive) instrument, and
reasonable precautions should be
taken to insure that it is not ac
cidentally damaged.
We trust the prompt action of
yourself and your superiors will
result in prompt redress of these
conditions, because the entire
academic environement at
Behrend is at stake, and we know
that you have the students' best
interests at heart.
