The time has come again to- elect Behrend's SGA officers and representatives, along with the respective officers. Any full _ time student at Behrend is eligible to obtain an application form from the Union desk to run for office. Separate ballots are available for SGA and for class officers. The student can choose to run for president, Ist. vice-president, 2nd. vice president, or secretary-treasurer of one organization.

Open campaigning is per missible through posters and speeches until election day when campaigning will be eliminated New Patrol by Bud Ore Staff Writez The Eehrend College Security Police has changed its name to come under the heading of the Department of University Safety and Police and Safety Services. This is the first . of many steps to change its image. Led by Chief Gene Johnson, the patrol is trying to change from a "rent-a-cop" image to that of an efficient police force that will benefit the students and their needs. "What we hope to accomplish is to become a part of the campus community," Chief Johnson said in a recent interview and added that suggestions, from students will be welcome at all times. Another step in the image change are new uniforms con sisting of a blue blazer and gray slacks in an attempt to get away from the blue military-type uniform. Other plans include trying to get into the Erie Police Academy for further training. This would consist of a 400 hour course in . the various aspects of police work and would add to the patrol's general. efficiency. Chief Johnson also expressed hopes of getting Pennsylvania State Police Training in the future for the patrol, but no definite plans have been made in this area. Another aspect of the patrol that is often overlooked is ser vices that it offers to the students. This includes any phase of safety on the campus. A service that has been in troduced this year is an engraver made available for student use on Honeymooners Aren't the Only Ones That Visit Niagara Falls On Saturday, October 13, the R.A.'s are sponsoring a trip to Niagara Falls. The cost is $5.25 which includes bus transportation and a boxed lunch. Everyone interested may sign up with any R.A. No money will be refunded. -Buses will leave Behrend at 1 p.m. and return at midnight. No tours or planned schedule—your time is your own—so come and have a good time. Published by the Students of the Behrend College, Pennsylvania State-- Universit Get Out and Run! from all voting areas. Voting for class officers will be held Wed nesday, September 26. The voting booth will open at 9 a.m. in the RUB by the Nittany Lion across from the cafeteria_ Each student can vote for officers in their respective classes - but only one ballot per person. Adjunct students should vote by their term status. Each student will be required to give his name and term standing to vote. Voting in the RUB will close at 4 p.m. If anyone couldn't vote during the day, representatives will be present at the lobby in Dobbins Hall to collect all other ballots. This will take place during resident student supper hours from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. At 6:30, the official voting for class officers will be closed. Those students wishing to vote for SGA elections can cast their ballots either September 27 or 28. Installed valuables. The purpose of the engraver is to cut down on thefts of personal property and also for positive identification of articles. The engraver is available for students at the security office and the deposit so far this year has been a student I.D. card. It is suggested that students use their social security number for identification purposes on the article they are engraving. One question that the students have been asking about is the new parking lot set-up. Students are reminded that the student parking lots are behind Erie Hall, Turnbull Building, and the Nick Building. Staff and visitors are to park only in the R.U.B. parking lot. Also with the two stickers this year, students are permitted to back into parking spaces. If Chief Johnson accomplishes what he hopes to with Behrend's security patrol, then the end result should be a more efficient working unit and a better student patrol relationship.

All students have the op- New Theatre Professor Selco Brings Broadway to Behrend by Jeff Matson Staff Writer Moving from the excitement of New York and Broadway to the comparatiVe calm of Erie, Pennsylvania seems like a strange kind of advancement, but not to Behrend's new theatre head, Arno Selco. For eight years Mr. • .Selco worked as a professional actor in over twenty two theatres including a run on Broadway in the musical Flower Drum Song. A sampling of the many stock productions he has appeared in include West Side Story, Bye, Bye, Birdie, South Pacific, and The King and 1. Also a veteran of movies and television Mr. Selco has appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Doctors, and had a feature role in the movie Act 1 starring George Hamilton. Most recently Mr. Selco choreographed and ap peared in the world premiere of Dave ( Sticks and Bones) Rabe's new play, In - the Boom Boom Room, at Villanova. The show is now slated for a Broadway run. It all sounds successful enough, so why leave it to be a college instructor? "The theatre is an insecure profession, and I felt it was important to get my education" is Mr. Selco's reply. So after a disappointing fre. - thman year at University Park, he ended stars in this part-western, part parody flick. The Academy Award winning song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" also comes from this entertaining film. "Butch Cassidy" will be shown on Saturday at 9 p.m. in the RUB Lecture Hall and on Sunday at 7 and 9 p.m. Movie prices this year are fifty cents with an activity card and $1.25 without a card. Also among the activities scheduled for this weekend is the Coffee House on Friday night at 9 p.m. in the upstairs of the RUB. Local talent will be featured. The SUB is looking for ideas on how to give the Coffee House a more "homey" feeling this year. If you have any ideas along these lines, drop on over to the Coffee House Friday - night, and if you don't have any ideas come on down anyway. The price is right: a dime with an activity card and a quarter without a card. The Student Union Board apologizes for the cancellation of last week's movie "Straw Dogs". The film never arrived. (Esoo United Parcel). Just don't blame Mr. Zimmerman. For once it isn't his fault. portunity to vote twice.

All candidates.for office are to attend (or send a representitive) to the slot drawing to be held 4 p.m. September 23 in the SGA office. Each candidate will receive the position he will be placed on the election ballot by slot placing. Hopefully, more students will make it their effort to run for up at Temple University where he stayed to receive his Masters and to complete the course work for his Phd in English. While at Temple, Mr. Selco received a teaching assistantship and went on to become the theatre in structor at the Ogontz campus of Penn State. While at Ogontz Mr. Selco directed three productions with a group of over forty students. The group at Ogontz, called the Spotlighters; found strong sup port from the campus, com munity, and parents for their productions, and Mr. Selco hopes that the same kind of support can be found here. This should be no problem, there is strong interest already being shown amongst the students and faculty.

Behrend is no longer a branch campus, but a college in itself.

Elections were also held at that time and Jeff "Connecticut" Matson was elected president, Cathy Lipinski vice president, and Sue Montaneli secretary-treasurer.
