Page Two Dear Editor : Spring has sprung. Love is stirred in the hearts of men. Birds sing in the open air and the sun's rays warm the ground. The hibernation is over. This sudden change may prompt a quick rally of nature and new hopes in the sportsman's mind. - To which I would reprove our Happy Heretic of his misguided attentions. He needs a study in her meneutics and his method of pulling verses out of context is one to which I am equally adept. Before I get around to his case, I would remind him of another found in Mk. 2:2-15. This involves a young man whose insanity drove him to self-abuse and running wildly in the nude. Jesus cast out many demons from this man and afterward they found him "clothed and in his right mind." The man in this case was ob viously in a hurry to escape and wasn't parading. The Inter preter's Bible Commentary says that "Naked doesn't mean without any clothing, but clad only in his under garment or tunic (cf. Jn 21:7)." I'm sure we don't PSU Offers Degree in Ceramic Science Ceramics, to many, are decorative pottery of utilitarian bricks. Many forget about the multitude of ceramic items that make life today more com fortable, more convenient, and safer. Some of the ceramics on which we depend every day include such items as glass cookware, elec tronic components in stereo and television sets, insulators used in power transmission, spark plugs and emission control devices in our cars, and jet engine parts. Designing and developing these ceramic items is the work of ceramic scientists and engineers—people trained to work with inorganic materials other than metals whose properties change with the ap plication of heat.

Dear Editor, In regard to an article which appeared in last week's Collegian's "Letters to the Editor" - This article leads one to directly believe that I feel the Commuters are totally unin volved in any facet of this college. If I have left this impression, well not so, not so at all. My statement (which was not in quotes, nor was placed to the topic of discussion) was that, hard work, input, and continuous activities on the part of the Joint Residence Council should be recognized. By this I meant that the JRC should obtain a seat and indeed become a voting member of the SGA. This was not at all nor in any way brought out in that article. University, the ceramic science undergraduate major in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences is fully accredited as an engineering curriculum by the Engineers Council for Professional Development. Penn State is the only univer sity in Pennsylvania and one of only a dozen in the country that offers degree in ceramic science, reports Dr. Guy Rindone, head of the ceramic science section of the Department of Material Sciences. Undergraduate enrollment in the ceramic science major averages 65 to 75 students but current demand and, Dr. Rindone says, could easily accommodate three times this number. There are few modern industries, he says, that do not hire ceramic scientists and engineers, and the demand is not being met.

The people who exercise my writing, it has complain about something and become important and when I see then you have to tell them that the my work lying around each week problem had been solved and that I begin to wonder if anyone else it was in this week's Collegian. It cares about the paper at all.

We care and think there is a chance publish just enough so everyone can just stop banging our heads should be able to get one copy, but against the wall and give up. hundreds of copies are just However, if there is someone out brought back to the Collegian there who would like to continue office each week and hundreds seeing a paper here at Behrend, more are swept up each night in someone who realizes the izn .the RUB. portance of a paper, and someone I joined the newspaper because who would like to help the it 'was logical for someone who Collegian. we would like to hear wanted to write to get some ex- from you also.

To the Students of Behrend College; I am conceding to you, that this newspaper is far from working up to its potential. Yet how can it become anything close to being great when no one except the proverbial handful of students is interested enough to work on the staff. In a meeting with S.G.A. president Mike Chiricuzio this past week to cover this and several other major problems affecting the newspaper Chiricuzio felt that the students might have the idea that only perience writing. When the editor "Well, no I missed the paper this You Call Us From the Editor's Desk April 4, 1974 To those students who attended Behrend last year and read the many editorials on student apathy until they were sick of it, I want to point out that this line has not been used once this year until now. If any of you feel that there is any legitimate reason for such disinterested students I would be happy to hear it. This offer stands in print or in talking with me personally. This paper can only improve if you are willing to help_ I have personally asked people to join the staff as well as in print and I have received little or no response. This is another appeal. If the results are the same as in the past, it will not be my last appeal. Respectfully, Linda Johnson Editor-in-Chief Pros & Cons Is it Spring yet' Doors opened between sides....
