Volume XXVI No. 5 Commuters by Debbie Ries Staff Writer The elections for class officers have come to pass with successful results. The number of students that participated in the elections as candidates and voters were an outstanding majority. Results tabulated that nearly all of the new class officers are commuting students. The increased involvement of commuters will only resolve in better communication with resident students. This year, the largest senior class at Behrend selected all commuters as class officers. Accepting the position of president was Gary Pisani. He proposes to schedule class meetings during the week at two separate times -throughout the day. "I would like the entire senior class to come out to the meetings and share their ideas and opinions." His fellow officers are• Jay Jeff erys as first vice president and Jeff Lange as second vice-president. - Obtaining the secretary treasurer position was Mark Weiczorek. In case of with drawal from office due to transfer from Behrend to PSU main campus, nominations will be taken, -and a hand-vote from the majority of the senior class will appoint the new class officer. Serving as Junior class president will be 'Bob Lamary. He stressed the importance . of the "class ,- - EDivioNDs z 4,, etTgLc::Y Published by the Students of the Behrend College, Pennsylvania State University Rank High In Elections together as part of the campus". The position'of the upperclassmen to educate the underclassmen, and the anticipation to make Behrend part of the community through the tri-college ac tivities. The remaining positions are held by Irvin Kochel, Jr., serving as first vice-president and second vice-president Wendy De George. Joey Kennedy will serve as junior class secretary-treasurer. Jim Armstrong won the position of sophomore class president. He would like to try to propose a tradition for the sophomore class. This tradition would_ be to sponsor a foster child annually by the sophomore class. He plans various student activities for both commuters and resident students: The rest of the sophomore - offices are served with Bob Stein as first vice-president, Laurel Grape as second-vice president, and Sarah Patton will be secretary-treasurer. The elected freshman class officers campaigned together to win a successful election. Pat Jackson, freshman class president, plans to unify resident and commuting students through the planning of activities in which both can participate. He hopes to associate with area colleges through tri-college activities, for more diversified activities at Behrend. "I feel the fresh man class has the most potential and should have a profitable year socially and academically." Holding the remaining freshman offices are Brian Terris as first vice-president, Jennifer Gregor as second vice-president, and Sue Urban will hold the secretary treasurer position. Many similar ideas were expressed from the responsible and qualified class presidents. These ideas include planning activities both resident and commuting students can participate and join. With good turnouts at meetings and general interest and cooperation from the student body, class officers will get good results.

Coming to Behrend This Sunday, October 21, may be more aptly called "Musical Sunday" at Behrend. There are two good reasons for this title. One reason is the appearance of The Sulkowski Woodwind Quintet and the other being the ap pearance of The Mac Frampton Triumvirate along with comedy team Edmonds and Curley. The Student Union Board will present the Sulkowski Woodwind Quintet at 3 p.m. in the RUB Lecture Hall. Clarinet, flute, oboe, basson, and French horn are the featured instruments of this accomplished quintet. Three members of this musical group are also affiliated with the Erie Philharmonic. The program will include music from the past and the present by such composers as Telemann, Haydn, Piston, and Milhaud. The one-hour concert will be offered free to both students and the public.. At 8 p.m. that same day, October 21, a double-barreled entertainment lineup will grace the stage of Erie Hall. Comedy capers will be provided by the team of Edmonds and Curley, while the musical portion of the program will be in the capable hands of The - Mac Frampton Triumvirate. The comedy team of Edmonds and Curley have had remarkable success in the four years of their travels. They've appeared on The Tonight Show, Dick Cavett Show, and David Frost Show. In college concerts Edmonds and Curley have performed with Three Dog Night, Bread, Sha Na Na, and Roberta Flack. .Compared favorably - with comedians such as Jonathan Winters and Burns and Schrieber, this delightful duo has been described as "a team headed for the top_ , Watch for a Smotheis Director Irvin Kochel is shown talking to S. president Mike Chiricuzio at reception. Brothers kind of star rising." Following the antics of Edmonds and Curley will be the second half of the day's musical doubleheader, The Mac Framp ton Triumvirate. In 1969, Mac was selected from vast number of pianists to compete in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. .After the competition had ended, Frampton was awarded the Bronze Medal, no small achievement. The Mac Frampton Triumvirate was showcased at the National Entertainment Conference in February of 1973, where they were an instant smash. They received more concert offers than any other act in the convention's history. Mac Frampton will perform 159 concerts in eight months and has already been booked again by many of the same colleges. Rounding out the TriumVirate are Phil Perkins on drums and Doug Smith on bass. Both are well-seasoned musicians with drummer Perkins a former member of the Cincinnati Symphony. Tickets for this evening of great entertainment are priced at $1.50 with an ac tivity card and $2.50. without a card. Once again, the show starts at 8 p.m. in Erie Hall. This weekend's movie is a flick rescheduled from its original date. "Little_Big Man", starring Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, and Chief Dan George will be shown this weekend- at midnight on Friday, and 8 and 10:30 p.m. on Saturday. Movie prices remain 50 cents with an activity card and $1.25 without a card.

Thursday, October 18, 1973 SGA Plans Underway The SGA is keeping its promise to serve the students of Behrend College. At Monday night's meeting plans were discussed for the dance on Friday, October 19 in Erie Hall. The dance will begin at 8:30 p.m. and feature the group Quill Eller (formerly known as Stillwater). Admission will be 50 cents per person.

Student complaints can, be turned into the SGA office or given to one of these following students: Jim Arm strong, Sue McMillen, Dave Scypinski or Vic Kopnitsky. In other SGA events, a tea was held on Tuesday, October 16, during common hour to introduce the newly elected members to the faculty and administration.
