Editorial Opinion
This was undoubtedly the most difficult piece I have ever had to
write. As most people know, Mom Tuttle, hostess at Perry Dorm for
six years, died last week. I dislike trite and overly sentimental
eulogizing and believe that few words are best. After working for a
few days, I finally came up with these ten words:
for Mom Tuttle
she leaves us
with warm memories
we lose her
reluctantly.

Behrend Col l egi an
Collegian
Note from the Collegian Staff:
We recently received the
following letter in our mailbox
from a student at Behrend. After
reading the letter, the staff
became very disturbed at a few
misinterpretations on the
student's behalf.
The editor of the paper per
sonally called the author of the
letter and explained how a few of
the facts in her letter were
twisted. She was very helpful and
we straightened out the misin
terpretations. Below is the letter
from Jeannette Hirsch in com
plete original form.
The Collegian staff added their
own response at the end of her
letter.
Dear Editor
I would like to sound applause
for a few of you who have ob
viously been rather active in
recent weeks. We are all familiar
with the favorite trend in con
versations at Behrend: com
plaints. I am an excellent com
plainer; I have complained about
the food, about the lack of menus,
about the parking and stop sign
situation and so on, but one of my
favorite gripes was about the
library being closed on Saturday
afternoons. I was enjoying
squawking when the Collegian
went broke for at least finally
admitted it )...Ah, joy to the heart
of the pessimist ! Behrend was
going downhill fast.
Then a funny thing happened.
There were notices saying that
the library was open, on a trial
basis, Saturday afternoon. And
the food at Dobbins started to
improve. Others noticed it too.
Not only that, but they actually
posted a menu, not just at the top
of the stairs in Dobbins, but in
each dorm so you could decide
ahead of time whether to eat or
not.
While I was busy marveling at
these phenomena, someone stuck
another copy of the Collegian into
print, in time to explain that
they'd finally decided to move the
stop signs so you won't stop, skid
and slide back down that little hill

when you try to leave campus in
the winter.
Not only that, but the RUB lot is
available again for use by
students. Although I've heard
since that there have been further
modifications on this agreement,
it indicated, good work just the
same.
This is acting like we haven't
seen at Behrend for a while. To
those involved, especially SGA, I
would like to say thanks. We're
behind you.

P.S. A big thanks goes to the
faculty too, they do their best to
help us out.
Explanation
To begin our response, we
would like to clear the air about
the Collegian going broke. ("and
at least finally admitting it")...
The newspaper is having
financial difficulties at the
present time, mainly due to an
inexperienced advertising and
business staff, but as of yet, no
word has been officially received
that we are "broke."
We are presently under the
process of rearranging the
business staff, until then, the
Collegian will try its best to
publish regularly.
For those of you who wonder
why the paper was not published
the first week after Christmas
vacation, it was due to lack of
copy. We hear a lot of comments
about the Collegian not publishing
feature articles, poetry, etc., if
you want to complain, it's your
privilege. But at least one of the
complainers could attempt to
write an article. It's not a difficult
task. Anyone on the staff will be
willing to help you.

the RUB parking situation, the
Collegian was in error by stating
the lot would be open to students
on weekends; this was only a
tentative plan. SGA was to form a
committee with their parking
grievences and take them to the
Safety and Security Patrol. As of
yet, no SGA committee has ironed
out any definite plans with
Security.
About the- new roadway map
which appeared on page four in
the last issue. It was drawn in
correctly. The Collegian has
directly received the correct map
from Chief Gene Johnson. It is
again reprinted on page two of
this issue.
The Collegian staff regrets anv
inconveniences and possible
disadvantages caused by the
misprinted information. The
plans are still being discussed and
as of now, still remain tentative.
Also, many thanks to Ms.
Hirsch for making an attempt to
alleviate her feelings. She may
have had a few errors, but she
happens to be aware of what's
happening at Behrend. How many
other students can testify to that?
Ripped-off
Signs—
Dear Editor
People complain that spon
sored activities are not publicized
to the fullest extent. Believe me,
they are! Individuals, including
myself, put a lot of time and ef
fort into making posters for such
activities. Within two minutes
after they are posted they arc
either defaced or ripped down. I
would like to know what is the
pleasure that people get by doing
this?
