First to Perform were Davis Giersch on piano and Rick Malkin on drums. Mr. Giersch is Assistant Professor of Music at Behrend and a highly accomplished musician and composer. Together he and Rick played many old favorites and a few numbers which were not so easily recognized. Their music provided the audience with a generally pleasing atmosphere conducive to both light conversation and musical listening enjoyment. The next performer to take the stage was a young man named Terry, a folksinger of sorts, whose strong yet sensitive voice was unfortunately accompanied by his talent on the guitar, which was questionable. But his voice made up for it and he came through pretty well on such standards as "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkle and a couple of Cat Stevens cuts. The audience managed to be extremely polite and receptive, as is usual at Behrend, and they applauded after each number whether it was done well or not. After — all, amateur entertainment can't be expected to be very good anyway. Next up was Steve Speigel and Co., who performed a fine set of tunes such as Blackbird, by Paul McCartney and again Cat Stevens was well represented. 'The im portant thing about this group was the near-perfect balance between the piano, acoustic and electric guitars and vocals which were consistently maintained by these obviously talented, well Published by the students of the Behrend College Pennsylvania State University awards, honors was presented by Dave Scypinski rehearsed and generally together musicians. They were followed by a girl whose ineptness for public per formance was, to say the least, embarrassing, but the audience politely endured and applauded right on cue. The final event of the evening (and it was getting late) was a band which, though probably not suited for coffeehouse playing in the first place, gave it a go anyway. Joe Grisanti headed up this one, and they started out by playing one of his originals, "Chocolate Milk", a funky electric instrumental based on the Nestle's theme, "N,E,S,T,L,E,S, Nestle's makes the..." Things went on from there with a general rock orientation, rather than folk, with the per formance of such immoral hymns as "I'm Waiting for My Man" by Lou Reed, and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by the Stooges. After lead guitarist Tom Stanger broke a string, mayhem ensured, at which point - musical anarchy was declared. At this point, the coffeehouse, too, was abandoned • with the exception of die-hard blues fanatics and those too stoned to move. Chuck Storie grabbed his forty-year old Dobro guitar and played the blues in a way reminiscent of the ' king of the blueS", McKinley Morganfield. Mike Woods also took his turn on the axe and along with Chuck, took us to Earth and back.

Nursing program Behrend College has developed another first with its Associate Degree Nursing program, which will begin the fall term, 1975. Although some universities and junior colleges offer such a degree, the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) is the first to originate within the Com monwealth Campuses of Penn sylvania State University. Miss Evelyn Radziszewski, director of the Division of Nur sing Studies at Behrend, com mented on the purpose of the program in the Erie area. She said, "The program is basically an answer to a community need." She mentioned that most nursing schools have closed in this area, including Hamot Medical Center, a major supplier of nurses, which will close after the graduation of two more classes. Subsequently, a lack of nurses exists in the Erie area. Upon receiving the ADN, the student will be eligible to write the State Board Test Pool Examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse (R.N.) Possibilities for employment are scholarship and citizenship. Dean Benjamin A. Lane presented the regional award to Gina Myers. The Thomas H. Turnbull Award, which recognizes a Behrend Student with outstanding qualities who has positively in fluenced other students through his co-curricular work, was presented by Dean Lane to Michael Jude Woods. Director Irvin H. Kochel presented the Director's Award, which is given to a student out standing is his participation in co curricular activities and student government, to Paul Sieferth. Honor awards were given to outstanding members in the following organizations: Keystone Society, CWENS, Student Hearing Board; Student Appeals Board, Student Stan dards Board, Committee on Student Affairs, and "Poetic Creations." Also, the SGA, Class Officers, Forensics Union, Behrend Players, 810 Club, JRC, Black Student Union, and the SUB. Also, Who's Who Among Students in American Univer sities and Colleges, and the Behrend Collegian. ::„ .-,,,..,,,..7:....„:"".;:,-‘:'''''';',.`,s.• '''.;,:4;.',1.:-.P.,....,.;;;',',•„4 ..*:',,tr,`,...1-7,,N. 4,— ''' . ki- - 1,3' .. .,x• oc''-4=,, "<"*' . ;. ,; •1R4 , 1. , „:'- ,, ,i...,:f 'o , ;„'.` i ' , :t , : , ;.,..4.....,:„..-0k.,,,,..A...0,-......;!;f„,..1,; • , :!..„,.. 7 „.1., : ,.....4 4 : , t ,„ -....‘ , 1,, ,5,',„ , ~,,, • ~,, „ , ',.•,-.,—.4.?„ • . r:',",-,Cf.ti,--.....1..1.,:1•3•.%'::;AV.•,* " • .:.7 .::::-., g.„'-.9";::•;-•,:,%.--,,L-,-.;t1-,,„"'".1r,--'0" • , „.....;"7::',.::' " ,;-.‘ ,2 :: , ::' , k,-, T" ' ' , ' , " ., . , -.'";;;;:fii • •,,,,,,•••!: : .... -•' ~.,..4.,,,, , ,' ,•i.-.. ,- ~..4 ~' •-•,:m. ~,,,,-,- ~,,,;.,, . ...-....', . k.,...5.,„,'......4,..,....,,,..t.t.z., ...t.... , ::-... , ,,, , ,s -,": • x4:44-, ~ -•:*,,,,,,„ ~..,,- , ~,,,z ,4M)-:.- 1 0 J^ , A:`,.xt° - ~,, " - 7--.>«,,,...;‘,;?...-2,,,,,!: ..,- - large and varied, including the rigid schedule of diploma hospitals, convalescent homes, programs.
