Claudia Dreifus Presents
Women's Liberation Now
Claudia Dreifus who at 25 has
emerged as one of the most ar

ween editors and staffs of the
campus newspapers where
mutual problems can be worked
out and solutions derived. Aiding
in the clinics will be several off
cainpus professional journalists.
Ray Geiger. editor-in-chief of
the. Behrend Collegian, said, "In
the past the Collegian has always
made a point of sending some
members of the staff to these
conferences. The Board of
Editors of the Collegian has felt
that attendance has been very
beneficial to the development of
the Behrend Collegian but due to
the financial crisis that has
hindered not only us but most
other student organizations, and a
seeming "winter" lull in student
participation, we have decided
not to attend. Perhaps renewed
finances and Collegian spirit will
enable us to attend conferences in
the near future.
Teacher
Evaluation
The Student Government
Association cf the Behrend
Campus will conduct teacher
evaluations during the 7th or Bth
week of Winter Term.
Joe Zani, first vice president of
the SGA, stated that "since the
faculty organization has shirked
their responsibilities and have
not conducted the faculty
evaluations as they orginally
were going to. the SGA will
conduct an evaluation and we will
haVe it published. We'll have it
available to all students."
The evaluations are conducted
in an attempt to instruct students
of the qualifications of each
professor by obtaining student
opinioos of classes, teaching
methods. etc.
Miss Dreifus has also produced
occasional public affairs
broadcasts for New York's
listener-sponsored radio station
WBAI, and it was her work for
that station that brought her to
Northern Ireland from where she
sent back eye-witness reports on
the fighting between Catholics
and Protestants in that country.

taining the culmination of Hit
