Collegian Faces
Multi'-Problem '
The Behrend Collegian is currently facing a variety of
problems. Most important of these is its continued
existence. There is also the problem of whether or not the
Collegian can remain financially solvent.
There are several reasons why the Collegian is facing
these dire straits. The principle reason is the lack of interest
among the students of Behrend Campus, which also in
cludes the staff of the Collegian.
It would appear that many people at Behrend take the
Collegian for granted. There has always been a newspaper
every week, and there always will be. Many people are
badly disillusioned.
It is true that many students support the Collegian by
reading it regularly and providing valuable information
that is necessary for articles. However, it takes more than
moral support to put out a newspaper weekly.
The current staff of editors has been working at the
same job for at least a year, and in the case of some per
sonnal, more than a year. After such a lengthy duration it is
quite easy to become saturated with the same weekly grind.
For some, it is almost impossible to continue. A transfusion
of new blood and spirit is required to revitalize the staff of
the Collegian.
Knowledge that the editorship of the student newspaper
will be vacated Spring Term has been circulated weekly via
notices in the paper, but response on the part of the student
body has been nil. /
It also takes funding to publish weekly the type of
newspaper that many of the campus have come to expect
and take for granted. When someone is told, however, the
exact figure necessary to print the Collegian on a weekly
basis, they are shocked. When the advertising staff is
composed of solely one man, it becomes an inhumanly
impossible task to bring in enough advertisments to cover
the printing costs. The money that is alloted to the
newspaper is not enough to cover the extra costs that are
run up in daily operation, but not considered; things such as
stamps, copy paper, and office equipment.
If publication is to continue, the students of the Behrend
Campus will have to decide if the newspaper is worthwhile,
and necessary for the expression of Behrend thought.
The editorials appearing in this or delete portions of all letters for
newspaper will be opinionated publication purposes.

many other related projects.
