October 19,1972 CWENS Holds Pumpkin Sale As Part of Fall Activities If any freshmen noticed girls directing traffic and helping freshmen move in during Orientation Week, thev mav have wondered why. The girls are members of a group called CWENS, who make a habit of doing nice things. CWENS is an honorary society for sophomore women. Members are tapped in the spring term of their freshman year. They must have at least a 2.5 average and must have contributed to the campus in some way. Betty Seanor, Dean of Student Affairs, organized the Behrend chapter of CWENS about 3 years ago. Miss Sargent, Speech teacher, is this year’s advisor. < )l'ficers this year are Bonnie Dispensary Opens Health Column The campus dispensary is open to all students, this includes the commuter. Our daily hours are posted in the dorms and on the RUB bulletin boards. There is no charge to visit Dr. Gaughan, who comes twice a week, this term Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. till 12 noon. There is a nominal charge for prescribed medication. Via this column I will be glad to answer questions that would be of interest to all, so if you have a problem or question that can be helped by the nurse, bring them to the dispensary or send them to the newspaper office. Behrend Acquires Additions To Faculty and Administration NEW ADDITION TO ENGLISH DEPARTMENT I )r. .James P. Runzo. the newest addition to the English Depart ment, is not unfamiliar with Behrend Campus. Much has changed since his departure in 196:5, but Dr. Runzo is happy to see that the intimacy and pastoral atmosphere that he remembers has remained. Dr. Runzo was the Student Government Association President from 1962 to 196:5. He was also the recipient of the I'homas 11. Turnbull Award in ’63, and a member of the Keystone Society. I le has taught at the University oi Indiana as an associate in structor and at Canisius College in Buffalo as an assistant professor. He has co-written an independent study text entitled Critical and Historical Survey of English Literature From 1700 to Present. Dr. Runzo feels he has a big commitment to the growth of Behrend Campus, physically and in the quality of education. He emphasizes the necessity to propagate the campus library to the point where it can effectively support the courses being offered here, and refers to the library as the “heart of the academic en vironment”. NEW ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY Dr. Donald R. Leavers, new assistant professor of Chemistry at Behrend, has quite an ex tensive educational background in the science field. Graduating Irom the University of Notre Dame in 1961, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Dr. Leavers furthered his education at Ohio State University, getting his Master’s Degree in chemistry and his Doctorate in Physical Chemistrv. Dr. Leavers has Angevine, Pres., Chris Straub, Vice Pres., Natalie Guagliardi, Secretary, and Ann Chiera, Treasurer. This year in Pittsburgh, the 50th annual convention of the CWENS will be held, with five CWENS from Behrend attending. This convention is held to promote a better understanding of what other chapters are doing and to exchange ideas. Although the Behrend chapter is quite small with only about fifteen members, they are planning quite a few events for this year. Again this year they will be selling pumpkins at Halloween. They will be conducting tours of Colds and sore throats (U.R.1., upper respiratory infection) are the most common disease reported to the dispensary. The Physical Education staff has informed me that many students don’t change in the locker rooms before an activiity but come from the dorms in their P.E. clothes and then don’t shower after their work-outs but again run up to the dorms to change in all kinds of weather. This could be a source of chilling the body and making it susceptible to infection, par ticularly the U.R.I. Come and visit! Mrs. K. many plans lor the chemistry program and perhaps establishing a Physical Chemistry lab. Commenting on his choice of Behrend for his teaching position, Dr. Leavers lelt that the emphasis of teaching at a smaller campus is very important. With a smaller student body, student contact is improved. Dr. Leavers believes, and also the faculty can have better rapport which helps in developing the individual learn ing capacity of the faculty members. EDUC ATOR TO INVOLVE STUDENTS Mr. Gary Mead is Behrend’s Residence Hall Coordinator. He received his B.A. from the New, York State University and his M.A. from Bowling Green State College in Ohio. Mr. Mead describes his job, as related to the student, as three fold. First he is a counselor; second, an advisor to the R.A. council; third, he is an educator. As an educator, Mr. Mead hopes to involve students in educative activities they can participate in.
