Women
By John Roach
Behrend College's women won't
let the men steal all of the
diamond glory this year! This
-spring marks the opening of the
first official women's extramural
softball season. A seven-game
schedule has been posted against
area competition, with the first
contest being played against
Mercyhurst College on April 16.
Last season, the • girls put
together a small team that
played four scrimmage games
under the direction of Mrs.
Laudensack. Ending with a 2-2
record, the team picked up again
this year with the guidance of new
head coach Mrs. Wilson. The girls
will move into extramural status
with the hope of someday being a
varsity sport.
Campus Tournament
By Ron Bokoch
The annual PSU Inter-campus
Tournament will be held April 5,
at Dußois, Pa. Every PS campus
Will be sending down teams to
compete in the event. It is a one
day tournament which includes
three sports—chess, bowling, and
ping-pong.
In the past few tournaments,
Behrend's entries have failed to
place in the top positions, but this
year, we hope to have better luck.
However, we first need to obtain
the necessary funds from the SGA
to send our two entries down. We
will have two different entries to
represent us: one bowling team
and one man for ping-pong.
For ping-gong, we are entering

One of the • most important
subjects on the minds of
students—jobs—was the •• subject
of a seminar on campus last
Tuesday. Miss Anne Weiner, an
employment counselor with the
Pa. Bureau of Employment
Security, spoke to a group of
about 25 students on the subject of
summer jobs, post-graduation
opportunities, and jobs for
veterans. She also explained how
the bureau can be of service to
anyone seeking employment.
Some of the tips on job seeking
disclosed were to—register at the
Employment bureau for a job in

service jobs—both state and
federal: check into the various

"But", Mrs. Wilson says, "for
this we need more coaches." In
case you are wondering where the
girls will be playing their home
games, a new field is being
constructed on campus, just to
the north of the other diamond
and across the creek.
Outdoor practice for the girls
will begin in April. It will be held
on Monday, Tuesday, Wed
nesday, and Friday from 4 to 5
p.m. All girls are encouraged to
try out.
Women's intramural soccer
and softball are also opening their
respective seasons. Soccer sign
ups begin March 31 and end April

And on the bowling side of the
agenda, the Behrend
Representative is still undecided,
with two teams still competing
for the honor. Zelda 111, champion
of the intramural leagues, is
being challenged by a group of
students. The roll-off will
probably be this weekend, with
the winner going down to Dußois.
This tournament is held every
year to encourage competition
among campuses which do not
have varsity teams in these
areas. Furthermore, it tends to
develop a friendly rivalry within
a school, which is spread out

impressive to future prospective

On the summer job question.
Ms. Koschier of the Career

office here on campus had
several suggestions for job
hunters. She stressed the value of
contacting a large number of
prospective employers. and
filling out many applications. The
Career Development and
Placement office has a file of
applications for jobs in summer
camps and resorts available to
interested students. Other ser
vices such as a career in

business and _industry who are
willing to help newcomers to the
job market and information and
assistance in many facets of
employment and careers are

Mark Zimmer, Dan Riblet and Mike Vickey of the Hollow
Mountain Opera on stage for last Friday's foot stompin' cof
feehouse.
Bluegrass Concert
By Cathleen Mclnerney
It promised to be another
boring night at Behrend until we
all trooped down to the Coffee
House. And when the Hollow
Mountain Opera began to play, it
looked like the promise was to be
fulfilled.
The band consists of Mike
Vickey on the five-string banjo,
Mark Zimmer on guitar, and Dan
Riblet playing guitar and singing
lead. A fourth member who plays
bass failed to arrive; it's a
shame, they needed him badly.
The group has only been together
for about six months and their
amateur status was made ap
parent by their continuous in
consistencies: The singer would
forget the lines; both guitarists
missed chords: at times they fell
off the stage: and none recognized
any requests from the audience.
Bluegrass music can be a nice
change when played properly and
with expertise, but aside from
Vickey's quick strumming on
banjo, the Hollow Mountain
Opera should have stayed in the
mountains.
However. when they left the
bluegrass behind, for a few
numbers, the group was actually
entertaining. They appeared to be
in control of the situation when
they brought out the dulcimers,
their sound ranging from Steeleye
Span to Ravi Shankar. Between
the vocal fiascoes, the band 'got it
together with their instrumental
pieces, such as Rocky Top and

They seemed to lose some of
their nervousness toward the end
of the set, and it was obvious that
they genuinely enjoyed playing,
which created the casual at
mosphere they wanted. The
audience at times even clapped
along—unheard of frenzy for the
Coffee House. Hopefully, if they
practice longer and make an
attempt to put a solid act
together, the Hollow Mountain
Opera might be able to turn out
some nice bluegrass.
