The Answer is Political
SGA Maneuvers Power
by Rosa Myers
At the October 28th meeting of
the SGA various members
reported their findings on the
items listed in last week's
Collegian: Tyrone Clark who is
chairman of the Joint Residence
Council, informed the SGA of the
council's attempt at gathering
student attitudes toward
visitation rights. The subject of
visitation remains strictly a
concern of the JRC. Mr. Clark is
to • report back and ask. for the
support of the SGA.
On_ the subject of alcoholic
beverages on campus, Mike
Woods met with Dean Lane. The
Dean informed Mr. Woods that
there is nothing the SGA can do
about drinking privileges as long
as Behrend College is affiliated
with Penn State University. (The
regulations concerning alcoholic
beverages were devised by the
University).
Al Lotz contacted a light con
tractor in order to get figures on
the materials and cost entailed in
constructing the Map of Behrend
College. Mr. Lotz has made an
appointment with Dean Bainum,
conceiver of the idea, and will
hopefully, meet with her to
discuss the proposed project in
detail.
Recruitment Film Aids PSU
by Amy Loeffler
Remember that flood of
propaganda you received
towards the end of high school?
Remember all that literature
about every school you'd ever
heard of and a few you hadn't?
Rethember "College Day"? Why
did 'you choose Behrend? Was it
something you'd read or heard?
Did you know someone attending
classes here? Had you ever seen'
the campus before?
Which college a student decides
to apply to and whether he even
decides to bother with school at
all, are choices the student alone
must make. Most colleges,
however, are more than happy to
"help" him make the decision.
Few, if any, don't participate in
some type of "college days"
affair or at least distribute
literature concerning their school
to interested students. Many of
the private institutions hire full
time "recruiters" to handle the
work. Here at Behrend it's part of
Dean Bainum's job to provide
high school students in the tri
county area with information on
Penn State. Considering the list of
prospective students she's ac-

The sign on 1-90 has been a topic
of interest for four years now.
There is no funding problem; it is
simply a matter of political
maneuvering. Phyllis Zim
merman met with Mr. Baughman
who related to her the fact that iit
is not the policy of the University
to give signs to branch campuses.
Certain wealthy, private in
dividuals may put the sign up but
not the college. Ms. Zimmerman
and Mr. Williard Youger agreed
to write up a proposal (to be
submitted to Mr. Kochel)
suggesting that the necessary
actions be taken via the proper
channels.
Gina Myers, second V.P., met
with people from Villa, Mer
cyhurst, and Gannon at a lun
cheon held October 22nd. After
becoming acquainted with one
another, each college elaborated
on the amount of power its
Student Government possesses
and the financial circumstances
and the possible distribution of
funds for the coming school year.
Another meeting will be held
November sth consisting of the
executive boards of each college
and a few SGA members. The
purpase of this meeting will be to
narrow in on specifics and learn
the exact amount of capital each
college will have to work with and
cumulated, she and her student
staff seem to be doing quite well.
Of course, they don't deserve all
the credit. Their job has been
made much easier through the
use of what's called a "recruit
ment film." Actually, it's not a
film at all, but a collection of
slides with a cassette that
screams out Penn State's virtues,
"something for everyone"—
you've heard the phrase before.
As Dean Bainum described it:
"The film presents the totality of
PSU...even if I had been here for
fifty years, I wouldn't be able to
present the vista that this does."
She's right. No one could. The
`film' not only presents the visual
information about job op
portunities, majors, admission,
campuses, etc., but it reeks of
spirit and pride. Both of which
are very attractive to the student.
In just twelve minutes, the
prospective student sees not only
classrooms and laboratories, but
football games, scenic beauty,
and most important, PEOPLE.
Penn State students laughing,
studying, talking and
cheering...students proud to be a
part of Penn State. Though the
film centers around University
the facilities available.
New business centered on the
meeting of Branch Campus
Student Governments which was
attended by Mike Woods. The
meeting concerned itself with (a)
the housing situation at
University Park; (b) the
possibility of all branch campus
going down to U.P. winter term in
an effort to familiarize transfer
students with the grounds, func
tion, facilities and activities at
the main campus, and (c) the
Buckley amendment which, in
simplified terms, now leaves a
student's record open to the
student. This was not so in the
past.
Spirits of
Back from their national
convention, the CWENS are
focusing on a new goal for the
year: better public relations.
During the convention (at
Westminster College, October 11-
13) the Behrend chapter made a
startling ' realization. At other
campuses throughout the
country, members of this honor
society are well-known and even
command some respect from
their fellow students. Here at
Behrend, however, as Shari
Bronski explained it: "Nobody
Park, Behrend has two good spots
visually and is mentioned several
times because of its four year
status.
Of course, it's doubtful that any
prospective student ever based
his choice of colleges on a film
alone. A huge number of reasons
are usually involved in the
decision. It's up to Dean Bainum
to make sure, though, that the
students in this area know exactly
what Penn State has to offer
them. The film helps serve this
purpose nicely.
Gameroom Opened by JRC
by Marsha Young
Ever striving to make Behrend
College a better place for its
residents, JRC will be opening a
gameroom on Monday,
November 4. Sports equipment
and games will be provided for
the use of the students at no cost.
Penny candy and snacks will be
sold at the gameroom. In the
future, it is hoped that the
gameroom will expand and
improve to include pinball
machines, etc. Although the
gameroom is located on the west
end of Niagara Hall's rec. room,
all resident students are urged to

The Keystone Honor Society,

October 22. At this - meeting,
twenty-four students indicated an

The Society sold mum corsages

corsages were purchased. The

knows who we are." Of course
Behrend students aren't exactly
famous for knowing much about
any of the clubs, organizations,
etc., connected with the school. At
any rate, the girls have decided to
follow the lead of CWENS
chapters from other areas. They
are going to invest in a number of
red polo shirts with a white in
signia bearing the CWENS'
traciitiOnal crown and sceptor and
the words, "Alpha Eta". At least
the student body will have some
idea of whom the members are
once they've had a chance to
wear them.
The purchase of the shirts will
delay the CWENS' plans for
buying a popcorn machine.
Hopefully they will be able to
make-up the difference with
profits from their pumpkin sale.
Halloween is based on an old
superstition that goes something
like this: long ago man made an
agreement with evil spirits. The
spirits, according to that
agreement, could only return to
haunt man once a year—October
31. You don't think man would
allow himself to be terrorized for
even one day—do you? Of course
not! Instead, each year, he sends
