of the noisy clamor of crowds
gathered around poker tables in
the smoke-filled halls of a
gambling casino. Picture the
spinning roulette wheels and dice
being raised and lowered and
money scattered around like so
much paper. And visualize the
look of defeat of a loser and the
successful grin of a lucky winner.
This is the typical setting of a
night in Las Vegas, and Behrend
Campus will present an authentic
reproduction of this scene at Las
Vegas Night on Saturday, May 6.
The event will begin at 9 p.m. in
Erie Hall. The price is 50 cents
with an activity card and $l.
without one. Games such as Big
Six, Black Jack, Horse Racing,

money will have chances to win
some great prizes which will be
auctioned off. There will also be
refreshments available. This

by the Student Union Board. Try

Winning the Turnbull Award
automatically makes Lyons a
candidate for the Eric A. and
Josephine Walker Award. The
Walker Award, created and
funded by the former president of
PSU and his wife Josephine, was
established in 1970 to honor one
outstanding Commonwealth
Campus student. This award,
given annually, will be presented
in May of 1972 at University Park.
Several steps are involved in
selecting a candidate for the
Walker Award. Each Com
monwealth Campus selects one
student from recommendations.
The Behrend SGA selected not
fewer than 2 and no more than 5
students as nominees for the
award. These recommendations
were then forwarded to the
Behrend faculty Senate. The
Senate selected from the SGA
recommendations and other
recommendations made by
students and administration, no
fewer than 5 and no more than 10
candidates. These names were
presented to the final committee
consisting of: Dr. Richard
Tomsic, Assistant Professor of
Psychology; A 1 Quinlan, SGA
president; John Claridge,
Assistant Director for Academic
Affairs; and Benjamin A. Lane,
Dean of Student Affairs. Lyons
became the candidate from
Behrend.
Next, the University is divided
into 4 regions. Each region selects
one candidate. The regions are :
1. West Penn North
Behrend
Dußois
Beaver
Shenango Valley
2. West Penn South
Award
Lyons
3. Pocono
4. Piedmont
The members and other can
didates from the West Penn
Region then met at Behrend to
select the final candidate for that
region. Lyons was ultimately
selected for the award and will go
to University Park with Lane,
Kochel, and the three other
candidates for the final selection
in May.
Lyons would like to thank his
sponsors James and Marion
Flaherty. He stated that he was
surprised and “honored being
nominated and considered for the
award”, for he feels that there
are other people that might be
just as deserving as he.
The award does not necessarily
go to upperclassmen, but one
basis for consideration is the
activities in which the student has
participated in his college career.
Nominations for the Turnbull
Walker Award can be made each
Spring term by any officially
chartered student, Behrend
faculty, Behrend SGA, and
Behrend Administration.
Although there is no money
involved in this award, it is one of
the most elite awards any Penn
State student can receive.
