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

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

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.

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

Mr. Zimmerman. For once it isn't
his fault.

their respective class officers and
again the following two days for
the SGA elections.
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. At the Behrend
Players first meeting, held last
Thursday, plans for an exciting
