Page Two Behrend Administrators, faculty, and students have been working very hard to accomplish the task of changing Behrend from a relatively insignificant branch campus to a full-fledged college. This cannot be an overnight change, as much as people would like it to be. This can only come about with planning and cooperation from all those con cerned. Behrend must be able to grow, not only in the number and quality of courses offered, but also in the ideals it upholds, and the opportunities it offers to students. The faculty committees have again established themselves-re evaluating and re-orienting their goals toward the forming of a four year institution. These committees include students— students not solely from SGA, but any other truly interested Behrend student. The Library committee, is working to tran sform the library to fit the needs of a four year campus. New methods of teacher evaluation and course implementation are being discussed by the Improvement of Learning committee, and the Academic Planning committee.

The newly formed Student Services committed will provide students with information con cerning job placement and any other student oriented inquiries. Working with the ad ministration and the faculty, the Student Government Association is endeavoring to compile a faculty advisor evaluation that will be beneficial to both students and teachers. The encampment, held in September, formulated recommendations, many of which have already been implemented. Class elections, held by SGA, have united the student body, by providing each class with a representative. SGA also plans to form a Commutor Council, similar to the Joint Residence Council in hopes of a final unification of the dorm students and commutors. Behrend has finally taken a giant step in the right direction. With the goal of a four year college kept in mind and the continued cooperation of students, faculty, and ad ministration, Behrend should make the much-awaited tran sition with ease.

The mediums used consist of photographic art, music, and poetry, and express a new form of sensory awareness which is evolving in much of today’s society. The purpose of “Synesthesia” is to emphasize and develop this new growth of awareness in a tangible way through artistic revelation. Each medium used is unique in itself, however by working together, the mediums create a more total experience. The quality of “Synesthesia” is unmatched, the purpose being developed with all expertise available to the creators, and by use of the highest artistic and technical standards. Composing “Synesthesia” are individual works which express a wide range of photographical, musical and poetic feeling. A few of the works consist of : To Breathe the World, a meditation of Haiku combined with imagery and music; Dreaming, a surrealistic photographic ex perience accompanied by the music of Country Joe and The Fish; and Winter, Water and Light, a creative interpretation of Bartok’s Adagio in an attempt to understand the musical work. Some of the compositions involve audience participation and they certainly command audience involvement. New Appeals Board Set Up To Be Tried By Pauline Jackson The Appeals Board, under the discipline system at Behrend Campus, is the means by which a student can appeal recom mendations of the Hearing Board, Student Standards Board, and-or the Dean of Student Affairs, which he feels to be unjustified. The hearings pertain to assorted violations of the Universities Code of Conduct. A written request for an appeal must be submitted to the Appeals Board by the student within five days of the hearing. Making up the Appeals Board is an administrator, two faculty members and two students, with an alternate assigned for each member. Appointed by the chief administrative officer of the campus, Mr. Irvin H. Kochel, the members of the Appeals Board will serve for one term, beginning Fall term. The members include: Dr. A. Daniel Frankforter (Assistant Professor of History and Acting Chairman), Dr. David P. Spalding (Director of the Graduate Center), Mrs. Melody A. Laudensack (Phys. Ed. Instructor), Keith Currin (General Arts and Sciences) and PENAUIXED £s& LIVING ON ONE siot OF APOLITICAL - BORDER IN STEAD OP I f ANOTHER? v/i-iy, FR£DDy,WHy? The creators of this “Synesthesia”, Chick and Anne Hebert, currently live in California and teach photographic art and multi media composition, and multi media dance, respectively. The compositions are based on original photographic art and some of the Heverts’ own poetry and music. Presentations of “Synesthesia” have been given at numerous colleges, the Sierra Club, and Ecology groups, and the show is on tour through New Vork and Boston. Developed by an awareness of a movement among people desiring to com municate with and perceive the world in a new dimension of sensitivity. “Synesthesia” Book Review Gould's Burnt Toast By Ed Doklan Gould's Burnt Toast by Peter Gould. 184 pages. Ballantine. 51.25. The majority of our society generally labels people who live in communes as dreamers. Peter Gould is now both a dreamer and an author. Gould lives on Total Loss Farm in Southern Vermont, the setting for his first novel. Burnt Toast. Burnt Toast is the story of Silent V.D.C. (Very Decent Citizen) and his search for the meaning of life. Through lyrical and almost poetic images Gould bares the mystical mind of Silent. Seemingly unrelated and meaningless events and descriptions mold into a truth that isn't real'y a truth at all. Gould's style is simple and beautiful. "The fossils had joined hands and were trucking on the Southern shelves, and the trilobites and saber teeth were rattling the display case on the west wall, and near the door the big bones were dancing an unnameable dance, all of them shrieking, but not together.

Professor of English), Mr. John R.Claridge (Asst. Director for Academic Affairs), Dr. Ward W. Knockemus (Asst. Professor of Chemistry). Bob McPherson iScience), and Victor Kopnitskv Jr. (Pre Law). The Committee of Student Affairs nominates the student members and the faculty members are nominated by the faculty. University sanctions, con sisting of warnings, probations, disciplinary or summary suspensions, dismissals, ex pulsions, losses of privileges and reimbursements can be recommended by the Appeals Board and Benjamin A. Lane (Dean of Student Affairs) is notified of their findings. Action is then taken by Lane concerning the recommendation either in the lorm of enforcement of the decision or consultation with Mr. Kochel. The Appeals Board allows a student the right to fair and equal judgment in regard to an in fringement of the Code of Conduct. Estate taxes are^ TAKEUFRom rvty PAYCHECK EACM week!

The purpose of the presentation as expressed by the Heberts is to “observe, and ex press the reality of the beauty and uniqueness all around us, and free ourselves from the con ditioned restraints of in sensitivity. This effort to reach the common seat of the senses is achieved by simplifying reality, revealing paintings of the ocean and sky, using music of wind and rivers, and reciting the poetry of life for all those who desire to (>ereeive it.” Tickets for “Synesthesia’’.are available at the RUB desk and the cost is 75 cents with an ac tivity card and $1.25 without a card. Tickets are $2.00 for faculty, staff, and friends of Behrend. ashtray in the shape of a big-breasted squaw who took the butts in her lap. There were seven more iust like her, all in a row. Suddenly all the noise ceased; the bones stood still: on the pedestal in the middle of the room, the Dinosaur Egg was about to speak. He speaks once every ten million years, so whenever the Dinosaur Egg opens up his word-hoard, everybody shuts up and listens; it's bound to be something important. Kamoo listened well, and he didn't forget a word (so he says); he wrote it down in the mor ning, and sang it all the way home, traveling with a troupe of itinerant preachers."
