REGISTRATION
Registration for the Spring term 1973 will take place on Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 27, and 28, 1973 in the Reed Union Building. Spring Term
classes will then commence with the first period class on Thursday, March
29, 1973, officially ending with the last period class on Thursday, June 7,1973.
Final examinations will then follow on Friday and Saturday, June 8 and 9.
Students should plan to meet with their advisers on the day PRECEDING
their actual registration. All students are responsible for setting up a
mutually satisfactory time for such a meeting with their adviser prior to
leaving for the term break. At this meeting with the adviser, it is hoped that
several things might be accomplished:
1. Student should look over the "adjusted'' pre-registration work sheet and
not any changes in time or any class closings. At this time the Number 2
Card should be prepared indicating those classes and sections for which
the student hopes to enroll.
2. Student should receive a packet of Registration Cards containing the
Number 3 & 4 and College Data Card. If he is net given these cards, the
student should ask his adviser as all advisers will be provided with an
adequate quantity of packets. In addition to this, each student should
receive an "adviser card" from his adviser which will be used in up
dating adviser lists.
3. Student should arrange a mutually convenient time to pre-register for next
Fall Term. It is again the responsibility of the student to set up such an
appointment and to keep it.
ALL STUDENTS will register according to the following schedule. If a
student cannot be present at the designated time, he should report at the end
of the Registration period on Friday as indicated. Late Registrants will be
charged a SlO.OO Late Registration Fee.

The health services at Behrend
are progressive. During the past

tremendous improvements due to
several factors. Everyone

Anyone interested in applying
for a position as a Resident
Assistant for the 1973-74
academic year is encouraged to
pick up an application from the
Office of Student Affairs in Main
Building. The deadline for
returning completed applications
is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 16,
1973.
In addition to the application,
all candidates will be required to
complete two or three personal
interviews. Interviews will be
held during the first three weeks
of spring term with panels of
students, panels of current
Resident Assistants, and mem
bers of the Deans of Student
Affairs staff.
Next year’s Resident Assistant
program will place greater
emphasis on academic advising,
residence hall government, and
activities on individual floors.
While the current emphasis on
personal counseling and referrals
will be maintained, it is hoped
that less of the Resident
Assistant’s time will be spent on
disciplinary matters. There will
be several training sessions
during the. second half of, the
Spring term in addition to those
held prior to the start of fall term
and during the fall term.
Further information is
available from Mr. Mead in
Lawrence Hall.
Musical Notes
Music Department Will
Sponsor Joint Concert
Providing music from Bach to
Rock, the Behrend College Band
will combine its talents with the
Mercyhurst College band in a
concert to be held Tuesday, Feb.
27 at the Reed Union Building
Lecture Hall.
The Behrend concert and stage
band, both under the direction of
Mr. Davis Giersch, Instructor of
Music, will perform the musical
numbers, “Vestivo”, “Silver
Quill”, and the theme from the
motion picture, “Exodus” as
well as some of the more con
temporary swing numbers as
“Acropolis 4788”, “Just
Enough”, “Montego Bay”, and
many others. The Mercyhurst
band will be under the direction of
Mr. Frank William, a music
instructor at a local Erie high
school.
This program will also be
performed at the Mercyhurst
College music building Wed-
rooms don’t fully accommodate
full-time and adjunct students.
The equipment is not extensive.
There is no weekend coverage, no
daily physician and not always
enough medicine. There is no
infirmary. All in all - it’s a poor
excuse for health facilities for a
college - Right? Wrong!
Certainly, the majority of
students are under the previously
mentioned misconceptions, as I
was before writing this article.
The flu epidemic provoked me to
question the competence of our
health services. Bedridden for 3
davs, without my mother to cater
to my every whim, the absence of
an infirmary and no weekend
coverage was really quite
aggravating.
Several other suffered from the
same “being sick away from
home for the first time” syn
drome. To my surprise, I found
the majority of complaints in
valid. Behrend’s health services
have grown tremendously and
are continually improving.
Actually, Behrend’s dispensary
had come a long way. Originally,
health services were controlled
by the Business Office. Thoueh
some health services existed, it
was a weak student service, due
to the main objective of the
business department-which was
not partial to student needs.
In 1962, a need for the dispen
sary was questionable. Behrend,
housing only 28 girls was
basically for commuters. Instead
of a dispensary, the idea of the
administration taking first aid
courses came about. In any
emergency situation-just contact
the Dean of Student Affairs-he
doesn’t have anything better to
do? For obvious reasons, this
idea was overruled.
The dispensary was located in
what is now the examining room
of the current dispensary. And the
waiting room-believe it or not,
was-you guessed it-the Behrend
nesday, Feb. 28. Both per
formances will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Admission is free to both students
and public, and should be well
worth the energy to attend.
WORKSHOP
In other musical notes, the
Student Union Board is coor
dinating a music workshop with
the Music Department. This is
being done in spite of the poor
turnout for previous endeavors on
the part of the SUB to offer
cultural activity and education in
the form of workshops of this
type. The subject of the workshop
will be in the instrumental area of
percussion. It will be held in the
Reed Union Building Lecture Hall
on Monday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m.
All interested persons are invited
by the SUB as well as the Music
Department to attend. Both
admission and instruction will be
free.
X thought
I ‘~a-s qtfWGr
to HtCfH SCHOOL/
Bookstore. The nurse was a jack
of-all trades, responsible for full
time students, the bookstore and
assisting at registration. Even
though there were not as many
students, can you imagine the
beginning of each term?
Approximately 5 years ago, the
health services system un
derwent a metamorphisis.
Because this is a medically
oriented society, even com
monwealth campuses had to
meet the needs of the students
with a more realistic program.
Thus student Affairs overtook
Health Services. The progress
made in the last 5 years is cer
tainly commendable.
First, the nurse was simply a
nurse, a professional. The intent
of the dispensary, as designated
by the university was to aid the
student and refer them to any
local services. It seemed un
necessary to duplicate previously
established doctors, hospitals,
counseling centers, etc. However,
there were four doors to the
immediate area at the time.
Presently there is a parttime
physician. To remedy the
situation, Dr. Gaughn visits bi
weekly this year. Coverage by
nurses Mrs. Kuligowski and Miss
Jarznka, has been extended.
The dispensary administers
pregnancy tests, monospot tests,
tine tests and others. Mrs.
Kuligowski is available to discuss
any personal problems in the
strictest confidence. Mrs. “K"
feels that education as well as
treatment is essential. “For
Women Only” a film shown at the
beginning of fall term was for this
purpose. A series of health films
sponsored by Mrs. "K" are now
being shown on Tuesday during
common hour in the quiet lounge.
Mrs. Kuligowski is available and
would glad to speak at the dorms
to answer any questions.
Naturally there are obstacles
to a more complex, developed
health center. Three years ago, a
committee headed by Dean Lane,
was established to explore the
health services on the com
monw e a 11 h campuses.
Availability and need were
questioned and discussed. The
biggest problem is the lack of
funds. There are other pressing
needs which have lirst priority.
Because Behrend is ever
expanding with minimal
budgeting, it is certainly difficult
to establish priorities to satisfy
everyone.
Continual progress though it
may be slight, is being made.
Student Affairs is doing what ever
possible to meet the students
needs.
Behrend is fortunate to have
someone as giving as Mrs. “K",
who is always willing to over
extend herself to be of any help.
This article was purposely
written to make students aware
of the history, function, and
problems of Behrend's Health
Services. Any student input is
welcome. Hopefully, some of the
invalid complaints will disappear
and suggestions and student in
volvement will occur.
