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

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.

"Musical Sunday!'
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.
A final note, registration for the
Pool and Ping-Pong Tourneys
ends on Friday, October 19_ So
hustle on over to the RUB Desk.

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.
A new service has been added
for the students this year by the
SGA with the forming of a
grievance committee to take
complaints of the security patrol
to the security office. 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.
As a fmal note, the students are
reminded that they are invited to
all SGA meetings. The student
attendance so far this year has
been poor to say the least.
Remember this is chance to
voice your opinion so that it will
be heard. Use it.
The Players
Open Season
The Behrend Players will open
their 1973-74 season on February
7, with a production of the classic
melodrama "The Drunkard."
This play is credited with having
the longest run of any play in one
• theater. It was originally
produced by P.T. Barnum who
may have had a hand in writing it.
The Players hope to breathe new
life into this classic with some
imaginative staging using the
_studio as a unique type of theater
space. Also; live period music
will add a new dimension to the
production.
The play requires a large and
varied cast with parts for 13 men
and 6 women as well as extras.
The parts available include a
madwoman, a villian, a spinster,
a sweet young girl, and of course,
the hero. Casting for the show is
open to all Behrend College
students and everyone is en
couraged to come and try out for
a part or sign up for crew work.
Copies of the script are now
available in the library for
anyone who would like to read the
play.
There will be three op
portunities to try out for the
production: Monday, October 29
