®thrrnii Cottcaian Volume XXV No. 12 New Alumni At Behrend By Sandor J. Vargyai Staff Writer In keeping with Behrend’s new college.status, the formation of a Behrend College Alumni Association is under' con sideration. How to begin such an alumni organization was a topic for discussion at a meeting attended by Director Kochel, Mr. Robert Altsman Jr., president of the Erie Penn State Alumni Association, Mr. Douglas Moorhead, past member of The Penn State Alumni Council, Dean Benjamin Lane, Dean Betty Seanor, Walker Moore, and Sandor J. Vargyai, on January 31. Either Behrend can begin an alumni association under the auspices of The Pennsylvania State University Alumni Association, or it can form an organization independent from the present Pennsylvania University alumni system. There are benefits to be derived from both approaches, but the final decision must remain with the students themselves. Another topic of discussion was the areas in which Behrend could benefit from an alumni organization. - These benefits would be felt in the way of an additional source of input, to. the College community in the cultural, social, academic, and financial areas. This is in addition to the benefits that could be felt with the increased com munication with the community outside of Behrend, as far as job opportunities in the community. I think it can be agreed that any additional input in these areas would be a source for further progress at Behrend. The final point discussed was eligibility for The Behrend College Alumni Association. The two groups of students which would definitely be eligible to join, would be the Baccalaureate Degree graduates from Behrend and the Associate Degree students from Behrend. However, further eligibility stipulations for students belonging to other than these two groups have yet to be decided upon. Anyone wishing to contribute ideas is welcome to see any of the people listed above.
