Page Two by M.A. Chiricuzio Executive Editor I have a real feeling about what I am to write because it is the first time I'm to expose some of my feelings on women. I hope that by the time I'm done I am not listed in the category of "Chauvinism". I'm curious to know if the philosophy of Intermural Com petition is understood. Its basic philosophy is one which allows athletic competition on a non varsity level. So with this thought in mind I'll have to tear apart that philosophy to look at the name "Sexist", which has besieged Mr. Stoner. one of our phys. ed. personnel. A female flag football team has invaded the sanction of the int tramural philosophy. They have dared to challenge the masculinity surrounding the philosophy of intramural ac tivities. I can only admit that Mr. Stoner is genuine in his feelings. After he explained to me his thoughts I feel I can relate to you those feelings through my own words. The strength of the intramural in the past has been built on its diversity and competition. Competition then, seems to be the major word here. Mr.' Stoner notes that the men who play female teams take the sport (or TIDBITS TIDBITS We, at Behrend College, are deeply saddened by the sudden death of Mr. John Bedford. Assistant Professor of Engineering. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have enjoyed his acquaintance will - miss him greatly. He was, in the true sense of the word, - a gen tleman. His ready smile and the twinkle in his eves will be greatly missed by all of us.

I know from past competition on the field against women, men generally muse themselves. This ten could be the reason for Coach Stoner's grief. He is a dedicated man, competition is his business. He believes that these sport activities promote fellowship, physical activity and ultimately frustration relief. (not QH WILL Ift&R 6 baftS I ArnRA 0 1441- stop/v-s,f' representing schools in Erie.

Though he may be labeled "Sexist". he.is merely protecting what he believes. Personally, I don't think the men care too much, though there is some dissent: But then some may label them "Sexist" too....RIGHT? hope not !

As a result. I understand the 1975-76 Flag Football season will probably include a women's division. I hope all is appeased. And now on to political matters. This editorial falls right in the middle of the SGA elections. I must now give my political convictions... I've always considered Student Government as well as the Collegian a viable organization. So naturally. I am biased by my own past position. (president). There are many candidates this year who I feel meet the qualifications by my standards. This sounds like a very conceited statement, but this all returns to my first editorial. Many of the offices this year are unopposed, this will not weaken the strength of the organization. And now to name dropping • Al Lotz is candidate for the Senior class presidency. He is a veteran and a student of late 60's activism. This may make him sound like a radical. He is a radical. He believes in change for Behrend by the means of student unity. He is one man who will be a true servant of the students. Now on to the Junior class... Mike Woods. who transferred from another college has been at Behrend for a year now. He too, supports student unity, and as Al believes commuters are the major issue. He is an involved student, and he cares for our future. The last candidate I wish to 'plug' is Jim Mahlon who is running for Sophomore class president. He I know best of these candidates. I've had the op portunity to live with him, so I am aware of his political convictions pertaining to Behrend. He is a think-through person. adding a touch of realism to just about every issue. This I feel, is an asset when a group of students organize to effect student policy. September 26, 1974 Now I feel there is an obligation to fulfill on behalf of the non candidate student. This of course would be ,the vote, but that's not all. Throughout the year the only way the SGA becomes aware of issues is by student input. This means you've got to be watchdog for Behrend. Don't take everything for granted. Question if something just doesn't seem right. I made a statement last year, and I would like to repeat it: "The real strength of the SGA lies in the support of the students." A number of freshmen have come to me and asked how to become involved. To them, I must say this: "If you can't find an organization that appeals to you. first of all, make your opinion known. The prime way to acheive this is to use the Collegian. And if you are not the literary- type, make known your opinion to the SGA." I feel I have expressed the means in which to achieve student contentment. So ends my political rap. Back to student organization. I AM AMAZED, that a non sanctioned organization. STUDENT STAFF, has not received the publicity that it is due. I promise the readers and most of all. Dean Bainum, that an article will appear in the next issue that will explain the to the Behrend College what the Hell the Student Staff is all about and how it can be of benefit to the students. Many of you saw the Staff in operation during Orientation Week. Well, that's one point in favor of the student staff, now, let's see the Staff operate effectively throughout the_ entire year. I know this organization wants to be _sanc tioned by the Student Government so there must be a feeling generated among those members that their organization is going to work hard at establishing itself. Your duty as a student. . . . VOTE!!!
