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. Suggestions

students concerning new courses
are also being considered.
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.

Synesthesia Brings New
Bold Multi-Media Experience
In an effort to provide the
student body at Behrend Campus
with a variety of cultural in
fluences, the cultural committee
of the Student Union Board is
sponsoring a multi-media ex
perience entitled “Synesthesia.”
The presentation, to be held in the
Quiet Lounge of the RUB, Oct. 23
at 8:00 p.m., is a unique, artistic
concept.
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.

The Appeals Board, under the

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

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

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. Kamoo

eyes wide, h is nose resting on a plaster

Development). Their alternates
are: Dr. Kenneth L. Deutsch
(Asst. 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.

originated. 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.

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."
Gould has written a dream-like book
that can speak for itself.
