Pogo Two Behrend Happenings Jeff Matson Well, this is it—Spring term, the one we've all been waiting for. Now its here and what are we going to do with it? This will be my first (and last) Spring in Erie. Strange how it reminds you of winter in Erie. Not that I hate winter, but last term was one of those things you would kind of like to get a refund on, if you know what I mean. (and I think you do). Well, that was last term and as a matter of fact that is what this article is about. Last term some things happened, and some things were supposed to happen. But looking around now, hing,s don't seem to have happened at all. First of all, way back in November, a major Collegian article was devoted to the topic of cafe services and action on the problem was promised. I seem to recall some brief efforts made back then but now things don't seem much improved, if they ever really needed it all that much. One thing Job Guide Printed A new "Career Job Guide" paperback has just been published to help students with after college employment.

All letters that are typewritten of 200 words or less, and submitted to the newspaper staff will be printed with the exception of those that are repetitions or in poor taste. The staff reserves the right to correct though, it is no dificult task to post a menu once a week. People in the dorms would like to see an up-to-date menu, it would be nice to know if you got up early for french toast or oatmeal, some would prefer to sleep. So, a kind request—from every dorm student I know—a menu please. Second and last, the subject of damage in the dorms, especially Perry. I can only speak for Perry because it is the only one I have contact with, however, as of now there is still no phone on the first floor men's side, and both floors must share the same washer and dryer. We all know that the ex pense for dorm damage will come out of student deposits, but must we be doubly punished? First to pay for others damage, and then to be deprived of some very basic comforts. a mean we're not looking for a non-leaking c-iling or anything like that, right Dave?) The lack of a floor phone makes it difficult to receive personal calls and has left many five cents handling charge to N.E.A.S., 360 Lexington Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. Change Not Until Fall The Records Office at University Park has announced that the changes to Senate Rule M-3b (Course Repeat) as proposed in the last University Faculty Senate meeting will not go into effect until Fall Term 1974. Therefore, the rules for Spring and Summer Terms will be as stated in the Polices and Rules for Students, Rule M-3b (see page 10 of the 1973-1974 Behrend College Student Hand book).

The students are going to be paying for much of the damage, and most of the offenders have been found, so isn't it about time to restore normal services? " Those are just a couple of observations I have had just living around here. Perhaps you have noticed something that upset you, or that you think others should know, and you don't want a hassle and you don't want to be hassled but you think something should be said. Well, write it down on any scrape of paper and shove it under the Collegian door, or into my hand, or give it to the mailman because the staff is not, by an means, omniscient, and would like to know more about what is going on so_it _can be covered in the paper, instead of relying of unrelated filler to get four pages. If you even read this, that's a good sign that someone is out there. Letter To The Editor To the Editor: For more than a term, I've sat back and listened to everyone's complaints about this and that and thought that everything would turn out alright. Now, there have been so many com plaints piling up that I've decided to lciok into them. Judging from Jim Concelman's article on the gym being used by other than Behrend students (Feb. 14) and the reaction to it, this paper is where I should put my thoughts. It -is no guarded secret con cerning the many grievances about the Food Service. I know that Mr. Finley is doing the job supposedly the best he can but food does taste better not watered down. Mayonnaise should not be as runny as catsup, nor should mustard. Often I've come upon an oil and vinegar salad dressing that was only oil. I accept the fact that Mr. Finley cannot improve the quality of the main food for a mass like us but when a couple of my friends find a fly or two in their subs, something has to be done. A piece of g,la cs in cole slaw or hairs in anything is delicious too. Three students, engaged in a food battle in Dobbins Hall, received warnings for their actions; one other got off free. Now, you and I know that four or Tripulets But. . . Three of a Kind? Triplets-but not three of a kind. They're the Long brothers and sister, all freshmen at Penn State, where their father, Dr. David Long, is assistant professor of civil engineering. Sometimes the Longs, just turned 19, are not immediately identified as triplets. People meeting them for the first time often assume the three are twin boys with a sister about the same age. The boys once ventured into dramatics to play twins in the State College Community Theatre's production of "The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker." The Long triplets have had their share of fun being "three of University Auditorium Will Be Well Equipped University Auditorium, now nearing completion on The Pennsylvania State University campus will be the site of per formances by two of the State's foremost performing groups which will have residencies here in May and July. Inaugural performances by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under the direction of William Steinberg; the University Choirs, directed by Raymond Brown; and four guest soloists will open the Auditorium on May 8, 10, and 11. The University Artists Series will sponsor the performances. Two world premieres will be presented as part of the six performance series by the Pennsylvania Ballet during the Company's July residency. A wide variety of programs will be held in the-new buil&g . which will seat 2,600. persons in the orchestra, grand tier, and balcony sections. Among the original art works which will form an integral part of the Auditorium decor will be -two sculptures by George Grey Barnard, a tapestry by Robert Goodnough, and a series of aqua tints by Louise Nevels on, displayed in the foyer_ five people in a food battle make a big* miss, right? It's also nice that the Student Standards Board is so consistent. This has been going on for at least a year and a half and these three get no choice but to carry the whole load on their backs. Enough said. Do you remember the ice rink we were supposed to have in stalled on the basketball courts? Well, if you don't, forget about going ice skating after classes, because it's not there. The plastic liner was just bought before break, after the assurance of its completion just after Christmas break. Word from a voting member of SGA indicates that our Student Union Board director and close associates recently attended a seminar in Houston. These representatives flew to Pitt sburgh and caught a chartered plane to Houston. This is fine but the catch is that SUB picked up the tab. It's nice that our sports teams have to drive to games, but why can't they fly too? I'm sure a lot of people have gripes about the back room; whether about its closing erratically or maybe even new games. The back room is the only place on campus that you can cash checks at night or on the weekends. You never know if it will be open. And SUB asks for more money. What next? While the Longs graduated together from State College High School last June, this probably the only commencement they will experience together, since Jef frey is in a five year program, while Jim and Joan expect to finish in the customary four years.

Also anyone who is in terested in writing articles is welcome to join the staff. One area where writers are especially needed this term is the sports staff. Experience is not a requirement for working on the March 21, 1974 In the small lobby areas to the left and right of the grand tier and balcony will be 19th century prints and drawings of stage machinery, costume designs, and other scenes appropriate to an auditorium. A portable orchestra shell enclosure, vast reverberation chambers, and "a system of motor-driven shutters and manually operated portals will combine to adjust the acoustical properties of the Auditorium to meet the varying needs of all events from speakers and solo performers to full choral groups and symphonies. Complex sound and lighting controls and a large hydraulically driven platform which can move an entire or chestra from stage to basement level will add to the capabilities of the modern facility, which will also feature a stage measuring 54 by 110 feet, where the Ballet will rehearse and perform during its three week stay. The building, located along Shortridge Rd. near the center of the Penn State campus, was built by the General State Authority of the Commonwealth at a cost of nearly $6,000,000. How many times have you walked from your dorm, or from anywhere really, to 3rd floor Niagara or Lawrence to ask your friends a question on homework or just to B.S. and found them not there? An infra-campus phone service would _solve some problems. But our school has already thought. about that quite a while ago; State College has it; we had phones last year. It's funny that our room and board charges went up from last year and they took out the phones. We don't even need the same type of system, just an intercom-type phone service, if just for every 2 rooms even. The Magicall system doesn't work occasionally, and one problem with the phones now is people don't want to answer them unless they're expecting a call. These are a few gripes I felt someone had to say something about. Let's just get together and make this a place where we honestly like to be.
