To preface this letter a few
facts should be known. During
the last week, Perry Hall was
struck with a wave of serious
vandalism resulting in the
loss of a telephone, front door,
and candy machine for the
second time this term.
Patience is growing very slim
amongst the administration
and should be wearing thin
with the fellow residents as
well. For example, loss of
that phone means that im
portant calls that would have
come through will now find
the number out of order. It is
time to stop playing around.
Some Can, Some Can't:
• This weekend ; Perry Dorm
was systematically leveled to
the ground. Well, the damage
was not quite to that extent
but the results of this
weekend once again prove the
budding maturity of a
segment of Behrend students.
A phone was torn from the
wall, a candy machine was
broken and a plate glass door
was shattered. Damage to
other dorms during the

"high" time of the week
seems to be more prevelant
as of late. All this seems to
say that we have some very
sick individuals amongst us.
I feel sorry for them, but
the real problem lies with the
students that can conduct
themselves "normally".
They are the ones that will
suffer for the actions of those
that can't. It's well known
amongst dorm students that
financial burden for dorm
damage is incurred by the
residents of that dorm.
Second, if damage continues
along the same level, the
University will have no choice
but to enforce restrictions on
all students, not just the group
that can't party without
throwing in some destruction.
What this amounts to is a
negative action against
students that should be
allowed to maturely have a
good time.
The only method around
such an action is to remove
those students who can't seem

to grow up, those who
jeopardize the enjoyment of
students that can drink and
still conduct themselves as
they should.
I believe that a true feeling
of contempt should be passed
on to students who can't act
maturely. It is this small
fraction of students that is
jeopardizing us. By the way, I
hear there is a fifty dollar
reward for information as to
who destroyed the door. Dead
or alive?

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
You would think you were
climbing the stairway to
heaven every time you ascend
Mount Dobbins for a tasteless
tidbit of culinary catastrophe,
at least you have got to climb
more steps than Jacob's
Ladder has rungs, but if the
good Lord is anywhere near
that horacious hall, He has
indigestion.
I shouldn't complain
though, I've found the answer
to Dobbins Hall's vulgar
victuals. What our cafeteria
needs is an Exorcism. That's
right, I have proof that
Dobbins Hall is possessed by
a demon.
According to the Rituale
Romanum, the official text on
possession matters, before an
Exorcism can be granted, all
physical and psychiatric ex
planations for the subject's
behavior must be exhausted.
Well, there is no physical
reason why meat should look
and taste more dead than it
actually is. And there is no
phsyciatric reason for serving
fish that tastes like it's from
Lake Erie, to name a few.
If you saw or read "The
Exorcist", you know the
possessed person or thing is
affected by sleepless nights, a
shaking bed and moving
furniture. Just think, I always
thought it was just gas.
Supposedly the possessed
uses vulgar language while
his tongue flicks and furs.
Personally, words can not
describe that first declinable
mouthful, although many
other people are quick to

Also the possessed is to
have a knowledge of unusual
facts and be able to speak a
foreign language that he
could not possibly know
through normal intelligence.
When a few of my friends

people involved but someone

place after the sentencing:

Dear Editor:
After attending the last SGA
meeting (February 18), I became
aware of miniature syndicate on
campus. The organization I'm
referring to is the Student Union
Board run by Bruce Zimmerman.
After hearing one of his disciples
relate to me his recent trip to
Texas, it is my understanding
that this vacation cost the Union
Board approximately $l,OOO.
Where does this money come
from? I wonder because the
Union Board recently asked SGA
for and received $B5-$lOO for a
sponsorship to an upcoming
chess, table-tennis, and bowling
Inter-commonwealth campus
tourney. Why should they ask for
this money when they seem to be
able to afford a nice four days in
Houston? This is the students'
money, not theirs !

doesn't make any sense in
English.
I am in the process of
submitting this evidence as
proof that Dobbins Hall is
possessed by a demon.
Hopefully I can persuade
Graham Kerr to come and
perform an Exorcism.

"Our first ten days here have
been far beyond expectations in
the warm hospitality we have
received and . informative
discussions we have had with the
Chinese people," Dr. John W.
Oswald, president of The Penn

heading a delegation of Penn
State faculty members in an
educational tour of China,

The delegation of 16, which

week will be spent in the capital
city of Peiping, after a visit to
Nanking.
Reporting from Shanghai via
