Behrend, Gannon, Mercyhurst and Villa Maria Colleges will be working together to provide activities of interest to all the students of each campus. Contemplates Economics SGA by Rosa Myers Of the budgets reviewed by the S.G.A. the following will receive funds: The Black Student Union ($544), The Joint Residence Council ($750) and CWENS ($200). The budget deliberations on the Forensic Union and the Student Union Board have been tabled. The Forensic Union is asking for $2390. It is the general consensus of the S.G.A. that since the Forensic Union neglected to send a representative to further explain why this sum of money is needed, the budget should be tabled. Tyrone Clark attempted to present a persuasive argument to the S.G.A. centering around' the funding of J.R.C. Originally the J.R.C. asked for $1911.66 for the entire year. They will now receive $750 for winter term and Mr. Clark has asked the Association to watch closely the activities and the budgeting of the Council and to consider "ad ditional funding for Spring Term." The S.U.B. budget has been tabled (they are asking for Dance Class Opens by Cathleen Mclnerney A group of people on campus is interested in starting a class for general modern dance techniques for winter term. The program's emphasis will be on an awareness of body movements, warm-ups, and simple dancing techniques which will eventually lead into an introduction to modern dance, ballet, and possibly some jazz. The class will be open to both men and women, and it is not necessary to have any previous experience in dancing, only a willingness to join, learn and have some fun. The ultimate success of the group, however, will be determined by the amount of people interested in sharing formerly acquired skills and Travlin' Lade Arrives "Rosalie Sorrels has about as many friends, lovers, cults and devotees as a singer and a woman can have without being downright famous" quoth Rolling Stone. "Joyous, sad, hard-nosed, tender- Rosalie is all these things" said the Philadelphia Daily News. Rosalie comes from Boise, Idaho and there she led the life of a- house wife raising kids and singing songs. Then in 1966 she left her husband, five kids and all, and hit the road to make her living being a Travelin' Lady. Crawdaddy describes her songs as impossible to classify as it is to capture all the colors in a Colorado sunset, too many colors changing too fast. Her songs Published by the students of The Behrend College Pennsylvania State University $2791.50) so that individual members will be able to look over the budget proposal before for ming opinions. The proposed Campus Map and Wall Murals were topics of discussion also. According to Al Lotz the figures for such a project would run between $5OO and $lOOO for a three dimensional topographic map. Mr. Lotz met with Dean Bainum as planned and it is his hope that the project will be a senior-sponsored one. No formal report will be given until Winter Term. Mr. Lotz is presently finishing a question naire to be 'sent to seniors in an effort to assess their attitudes toward financing the campus map. If any murals are to be painted students will have to submit designs which will be judged by other students. Mike Wolfram met with Dean Lane and the Dean would like the art work to be of professional quality before any actual painting is executed he also would like to be shown a miniature of the proposed work. All ideas, however must be submitted to Mr. Kochel and knowledge of these general dance areas. The class will be sponsored by Mrs. Wilson, but she will not act as a formal teacher. It is an opportunity for those that have had some experience in dancing to teach the rest of the group what they know; the entire length or a portion of the time will be turned over to you. The wrestling room is reserved for an hour and a half Monday night; the exact time will be determined by the group. It doesn't cost anything, and no special attire is required. So, if you are interested, please contact Beth Moore before the end of the term at 899-9075, or stop in and see her at 346 Lawrence Hall. reflect her life on the road with such titles as "All I Ever Do is Say Good-Bye", (They May Not Like My Style Boy's but...) They'll Know Who I Am"; and "Elegant Hobo". These songs are interspersed with stories like the one about the ranch with "5,000 head of ducks" and "the thunder of tiny webbed feet." But why don't you come meet this wonderful woman in person? ! She'll be at the Behrend Cof feehouse on Wednesday, November 13th at 8 pm. The Coffeehouse will be held in the RUB Quiet Lounge.

This ad is similar to meet with his approval Lili Pintea contacted Mrs. Hamilton about the possibility of havint , a schedule of classes completed for the entire year. Many upperclassmen, especially those enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts, have problems pre registering. Liberal Arts People are the last to pre-register and are often shut out of classes. When an upperclassmen is shut out of a class (which may be a required course) his term standing is affected. In the case of a transfer student certain higher level courses can not be taken until a particular term standing has been reached. According to Mrs. Hamilton, Dean Fox is presently working on a schedule which will list classes being offered for an entire year. The Black Student Union threw a party for all Behrend College students and friends. The children who attended thoroughly enjoyed the event. Tapes on Major Selecting a major? The Career Development and Placement Center can help you. One hundred ten cassette tapes describing each major at PSU are available on the second floor of the Administration Building. The ten minute long tape tells the course work involved, and the jobs the student will qualify for with that major. Some tapes supply more information like recent looks at job openings. Ms. Maryann Koschier, counselor•, feels selecting a major is done in a series of steps. She commented "for a student who is undecided about his major, he might first _use - the University catalog as a resource book to identify possible majors, then listen to several of the tapes on possible majors, and finally talk to the Deans' representatives in the various colleges." Ms. Koschier also remarked, "the tapes are also very valuable to those, thinking of switching majors." Lists of the tapes will be posted in the residence halls this week. After looking at the list, go to the second floor Administration Building and ask a secretary for _those found in almost any newspaper in the country. Many of the nation's hospital are terribly understaffed and the situation is not getting better. The Greater Erie community, blessed with a number of fine medical facilities, faces this same problem. One solution to this problem may be a diverse educational op portunity for nursing students. Behrend College (PSU) ad ministration, and also that of the Hamot Medical Center, have drawn up preliminary plans for a proposed Associate Degree Nursing program here at Behrend. This program, if ap proved, would help to serve as a part of a wide range of nursing studies in the Northwestern Pennsylvania area. Those wishing to go through a diploma school of nursing could attend the St. Vincent School of Nursing, at St. Vincent Health Center, while On Thursday, October 31, the BYO club had its regular meeting. During the meeting, future plans were discussed for a trip to Toronto and to various other places of interest around the area. Later, a film on the Succession of Land was viewed. If any student is interested in being a member of the 810 club, you are welcome to attend our meetings every Thursday in, Nick 6. the tape. The Occupational Informational Room is available for listening from 9 am to 5 pm daily. The program was initiated last year and _ plans for the future include expanding the tapes to include associate degree majors, and advertising the availability of the beneficial tapes to college bound secondary school students. A candlelight dinner was provided for resident students at Dobbins Hall on Halloween evening. Thursday, November 7, 1974 those wishing an Associate Degree would attend Behrend. Bachelor degrees are offered at Villa Maria and Edinboro State colleges with the latter including Graduate studies in nursing. Dr. Thomas G. Fox, Dean of Faculty, said that the proposed program will be, unlike the existing one, under the complete control of the Penn State University. "The national trend" he commented, "is for hospitals to get out of education and con centrate on patient care." If approved, Hamot will discontinue its nursing program and will make available the facilities, there, to Behrend faculty for the clinical training of nursing students. Some present Registered Nurses, at Hamot, have ex pressed some skepticism on the amount of clinical training in a course of study such as this. They felt that a student in an Associate degree program would not get as much clinical training as one in a program such as the existing one at Hamot. In a discussion with Dean Fox, this problem was raised and he replied, "Most Associate degree programs are this way but this isn't true with the proposed program at Behrend." The Dean added that it was a "relatively technical program in terms of nursing skills." The specifics have not been laid out as of yet, but a student would probably finish the prerequisite courses in the first year and then go to to clinical courses, at Hamot, in the second. All the clinical courses would be taught by Behrend College faculty_ A new program, such as the one proposed, would bring , more opportunities to all Behrend students and not just the nursing students. It would eventually bring a nursing faculty on to the campus and certain academic courses would be offered that are not on the current curriculum. Interest in a program of this type dates back to the mid 1960's and Behrend College and Hamot Medical Center have been working to establish one since that time. "This reflects a widespread community interest in such matters" said Dean Fox. It is hopeful that an increase in the enrollment in the nursing program will occur and therefore add to the pool of nursing in the area. Approvals, for this program, are needed from the State Board of Nurse Examiners and the University Faculty Center of Penn State. These approvals are hoped to be obtained sometime between January and February of 1975. There will be no ac ceptance of applications to this program until it is officially ac cepted. Hopefully,this program will be a step toward improved medical care in the Northwestern Pennsylvania area.
