Instructional Media Committee
Reviews Tape Course Quality
Commonwealth Campus
students and faculty will now
have the opportunity to review
the quality of tape courses of
fered al. the Commonwealth
Campuses. according to Dr.
Robert G. Quinn, Dean of
Academic Instruction for
Commonwealth Campuses.
Quinn said that the purpose of a
committee on instructional media
would be to help monitor and
supervise the production of
television and other media
courses offered at the campuses.
"But we're not restricting our
selves to video tape; we're
thinking of various instructional
media."
Dissatisfaction with video
tapes became first evident on a
serious scale during University
President John W. Oswald's visit
to the Worthington Scranton
Campus last Spring. Quinn then
talked to the assistant deans for
resident instruction from the
various campuses and consulted
student surveys.
The committee will be com
prised of three facets of the
University--professional prod
uction staff, faculty and students
New Officers
For Circle K
The Behrend Circle K Club has
elected new officers for the
winter term. The new president is
Ed Neuburger (2-AG-Fairview )
and vice-president is Jim Raf
fetto (6-Ed.-Bellefonte). The
secretary's position is filled by
Steve Geibel (5-LEC.- Bradford)
while the treasurer is Craig
Johnson (5-Cl.En.-Titusville.)
During the past fevi weeks
Circle K has been active in
various projects around campus.
They collected for Multiple
Sclerosis, sold plastic meal ticket
coverings and are selling popcorn
at the movies every Sunday night.
The club is planning to par
ticipate in community services
and _volunteer work in the near
future. Meetings are every
Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in the
Quiet Lounge of the RUB for all
those interested.
from the campuses and the
processor who is the main course
lecturer.
After the video tape is
prepared, it will be sent to one
Commonwealth Campus where
student and faculty will assess it.
and - if necessary, send it back.
The end objective, according to
Quinn, is "all first-class tape
courses."
Quinn, an ex-officio member of
the committee, has appointed Dr.
L.P. Greenhill, Assistant Vice
President for Instructional
Services, as chairman. In ad
dition, the assistant directors for
resident instruction will probably
supervise the local campus
participation.
The Scranton Campus will
probably be the first campus to
review a tape course, when the
filming of the Geological Science
20 is completed.
"It will require a lot of work on
the part of the students" said
Quinn. "In effect, they will be
going through the course to
review it."
Quinn also said he feels op-

Opportunity
To Register
For the first time in history
Pennsylvania has a Presidential
primary. This primary, along
with local primaries will take
place on April 25, and it is ex
tremely important that we
exercise this right, and vote on
April 25. No voter registration
will take place at Behrend, but
there are opportunities for
students to register. K-Mart
East, at Buffalo and Nagle roads
will be the site of a voter
registration this Friday,
February 18, from 2 p.m until 8
p.m. A person can also register
any weekday, 8:30 a.m. until 5
until March 6 at the Erie
County Courthouse, just v, est of
'each street on 6th street.
If you have already registered
to vote in your hometown, and
want an absentee ballot, then
write immediately to your local
county courthouse and request
that they send you an absentee
ballot. You should request this
ballot because it may not be sent
to you otherwise.
If you have already registered
timistic about the committee.
"It's really essential that we have
these tapes. . it amounts to the
fact that a Commonwealth
Campus student would not be able
to get a course or would have to
transfer earlier if the tapes were
not available.
"I think it's great that Com
monwealth Campus students will
be involved in the actual
production of a film. We first will
have G. Sci. 20 monitored; then
we will try Psy. 2."
An unofficial target date of two
to two-and-a-half years has been
set by Quinn for "replacement of
bad tapes and introduction of
good new ones."
"There is no excuse for poor
tapes. since they are so essential
to the Commonwealth Cam
puses." said Quinn.

Rogers Speaks
On Presidency

Rogers. a photo engraver at
Kim Kraft Business Forms,
believes that the government
today in insensitive to the people.
He traveled to Washington, D.C.,
on October 4, 1971, were he
deli"ered an open letter to 700
officials, which included the
Fresident and every senator and
representative in Congress. But
none of these 700 officials agreed
to talk to Rogers personally. So.
out of frustration, Rogers has
decided to run for the nation's
highest office in hopes of making
himself heard.
Rogers promises to stage a
completely different campaign
than that of any other candidate.
Ile claims that he will not make
concessions to cliques and lob
bies.
Some of the issues on his
platform are:
Kathy Flaherty and Jonathan Hatch, both veteran perforfners of
the Coffee !louse Circuit and the New York cafes and coffee houses,
