Earn Return Trip Cost
Students interested in going to
Europe this spring or summer
can earn back most or all of their
trip cost by taking a summer job
in Europe. Paying jobs are
available in resorts, hotels,
restaurants and snack bars in
Switzerland, Austria, France,
Germany and England. A few
weeks on the job earns back the
air fare, a few more weeks work
earns ample money for traveling
around Europe, especially if
travel is by bicycle.
Standard wages are paid, but
the big saver is the free room and
board provided with each job and
arranged in advance by the
Student Overseas Services. SOS
fills the jobs on a nonprofit, first
come, first-served basis as it has
done for the past 16 years.
Students are also taking to the
roads on bicycles in Europe as a
Great Year For Erie
The year of 1973 was a great
year for Erie County.
Business analysts at The
Pennsylvania State University in
their quarterly report say that if
national conditions favored
Pennsylvania generally in that
there was strong demand for steel
and associated products, they
favored Erie even more.

Over ROTC

received an allocation of $3OO, and
Keystone got $420. The largest
allocation was given to the Spring
Arts Festival with an amount of
$2,500. The Budget was passed
unanimously.
In the final moments of the
meeting, Vic Kopnitsky posed the
question of the possibility of
getting ROTC on campus. Some
of the problems that arose were:
storing guns on campus and
whether or not the program
would work in conjunction with
Gannon College. The program
might, however, attract local
students to come to Behrend
instead of going to another
campus.
The next meeting will be held

and money crisis. Under a new
arrangement students can bicycle
around Europe with a new
European bike that they can put
on the plane and take home with
them. SOS has arranged bike
tours for groups or individual
bikers who want only a new bike,
a map, and a "Survival Kit."
"But no matter what the reason
for going to Europe—exploring,
studying, working," advised John
Carodine, SOS Placement
Officer, at a recent University of
Miami meeting, "Students should
immediately sign up for their
flight in order to sidestep in
creasing air fares." Students can
also sign up with a neighboring
school charter, or any local civic
group, museum or town group
sponsoring a charter flight to
Europe. "This is the cheapest

second quarter of 1973, paused in
the third quarter, and went on up
in the fourth. The year ended with
area employment at an all-time
high. Unemployment amounted
to no more than 4 per cent of the
work force most of the year.
This is a rather remarkable
record considering that the area's
work force has expanded rapidly
with little interruption for two and
a half years, say the Penn State
analysts.
King And I Opens March 29
The world's most resplendent
musical, "The King And I",
comes to the Erie stage in an
opulent production that will
stagger the mind. Featuring
songs we all know and love like
"Getting to Know You," "Hello,
Young Lovers," "I Have
Dreamed," "We Kiss In A
Shadow," and "Whistle a Happy
Tune," "The King and I" has
consistently been placed in the top
five when people have been asked
to vote for their favorite show.

The Governor's request calls
for almost a hundred million

Frat Membership Down
Chapters Asseme Loss
Fraternity membership at The
Pennsylvania State University
has decreased steadily since the
"boom year" of 1966, when more
than three thousand students
were in fraternities—but a
revival might be in progress.
According to figures compiled
at the start of the Winter Term, in
December over eighteen hundred
men were brothers or pledges in
University fraternities.
But, according to David
Stewart, assistant .director of
residential life programs,
membership is on the upswing.
He reports that there was a fif
teen per cent increase in
fraternity bids during the Fall
Term this year over last year.
And he expects that figures at
the end of the 1973-74 academic
year will show an increase over
last year. •
There are 48 fraternities at

timed. "Second highest priority
is meeting the increased cost of
operation because of inflation.
The University has been hit
particulary hard by increases in
such essential items as fuel,
electricity, postage, telephone
service, and a two million dollar
mandated increase in the
University's contribution to the
State Retirement system. Vir
tually every item purchased by
the University has been affected
by the present inflationary
trend."
In regard to tuition, President
Oswald said the specific amount
of the tuition increase for next
year has not been established.
"Enactment of the Governor's
budget would help insure that the
increase will be held to a very
modest amount, while at the
same time, making some move
toward tuition levels called for in
the State Master Plan for Higher
Education for state-related
universities."
Penn State, eight fewer than
during the peak years of 1965-67.
Forty-five of the fraternities
occupy chapter houses.
Stewart points out that some
fraternities were lost to at
trition, some to national mergers.
"Additional losses of several
more of the chapters is very
possible for the near future," he
says.
