Page Two I Anyone Excited? | By Margie Campbell Behrend Campus is now Behrend College, as of the Board of Trustees meeting at University Park January 19 and 20. Is anyone excited? With the efforts made on the behalf of Behrend Campus, one would think the effect that this change will have upon all involved-students, faculty, administration, staff, and the community-would instill a spark of interest in those it affects. Behrend is a college. It is no longer a campus like the other 17 campuses under the wing of the Pennsylvania State University system. Though it’s still in the nest of the system, Behrend is learning to fly by itself. President Oswald stated that the change at Behrend is “a change in mission”. If the mission has altered, so must the attitudes of those affected be modified, according to the changes oc curring. Physical adjustments are planned, academic functions and programs are being SGA Positions Sought The Student Government Association has the following positions open to be filled by Behrend students: freshman commuter representative, sophomore commuter representative, junior commuter and dorm representative and senior commuter and dorm representatives. The positions have been left by recent with drawals and resignations. Applications for these positions will be placed at the SUB Desk* Xvithin the next week.

Many feel that the “metamorphosis” taking place at Behrend will have little affect on them. However, changes are beginning now and new four year baccalaureate programs are proposed bv the Task Force. More student enrollment in associate degree programs is also planned. Is not the academic, structure the basis of our reason for being here in college? (Now at Behrend College). The plans for the changes now coming into affect have been in the making for some time now and we’re finally going to see these changes take place. It is not our mission--it’s going to take place whether we support it or not. But this is our education that is being affected by the new proposals and the entire academic community can be benefited. Perhaps we should be concerned. Ed Hunkele is now the fresh man class president due to the withdrawal of Fred Mayer. Both Ed Hunkele and Walker Moore are hoping that class represen tatives will fill the vacancies on SGA. Walker Moore had hoped to establish a homogeniety among the classes but with so many vacancies this has not happened. “SGA has a good internal structure,” said Moore, and he hopes the classes can soon become organized.

SGA Will Sponsor Commuter Council Did you ever get a ticket for a parking violation in the student parking lot? Why not form a body of students intent on working for the good of the commuters Plans for a commuter council, similar to the Joint Residence Council for dorm students, are in the making, but the materialization of this council depends on the interest of commuters. The Commuter Council could deal with anything concerning the commuter such as parking violations, snow removal in parking lots, and the com muter’s cafeteria. Seeing that commuters are in the majority here (and Behrend is basically a commuting campus) they should dismayed over the prolonging of the Indochina war.

If you have a complaint or an opinion or you just feel frustrated enough to sound off—hopefully the Editor’s Desk will be the place you do it—because sooner or later no one else will care enough to bother to notice the apathy!!! The seminar involves 16 students and 16 faculty and staff members. If successful this term, the seminar will be repeated later. The seminar is part of an attempt by Student Affairs to develop a drug program at Behrend College be concerned about the affairs and policies of the campus which affect them.

He serves three congregations on a part-time basis preferring not to participate in the administration of a congregation. Rabbi Schechter brings to his pulpit an unusual combination of spiritualism and relevance. He deplores the spiritual vacuum he says has developed in Judaism with its concentration on preserving the institutions.
