September 15, 1975 icks off new year Smashing soccer season By Mark Reese Sports Editor Well, according to the nip in the air, and the fact that we're all back in school, it must be fall. That means one thing above all others to sports fans—football! Here at Behrend the soccer season is in full swing also. Our Cubs opened their '75 season Wednesday at Slippery Rock, and their first home game will be this Saturday against Malone at 2 p.m. right here on our own field. That game has been moved up on the calendar, and taking the Wednesday, Sep tember 24 space will be another home confrontation with Point Park, at 3 p.m. Out of the 28 team members practicing daily, the starters for the Slippery Rock game have been chosen as follows: Mick Brosius, a returnee from last year's team, will be back in front of the goal. Three of the fullbacks are also experienced players. They are Mike Razanauskas, Fred Thompson, and Neil Waxham: newcomer Mike Warner holds the 9th fullback position. John Fleming and Jeff Leonard are both returning to the team, playing middle back position. In the key wing positions Back to the Woods Michael J. Woods, a tenth term senior psychology major here at Behrend College, enjoys his job as president of the Student Government Association. In previous terms, Mike has successfully worked to extend visitation hours, aided students in becoming part of the Penn sylvania Student Lobby, and also is one of those who succeeded in establishing a radio station here at Behrend. Mike also takes an involved part in organizations such as the Psychology Club and the Behrend College Central Committee of Student Rights, both of which he is chairman. He is also a Who's Who member, and a member of the Pennsylvania Student Lobby, and a student affairs administrative member, to name a few. Mike is excited about the in coming freshmen, saying, "They are the most enthusiastic fresh men that I have ever seen while at Behrend and I anticipate a great deal of student in volvement." He also spoke highly of Dr. Thomas Fox, "Behrend students are fortunate to have Dr. Vox as Dean of Faculty. This year, for once, students will be treated fairly." As far as the allocation of funds to the Student Government Association, Mike believes they never receive enough money. He feels $25,000 would be nice for this year. Last year, they got $12,000 and this year they will be allocated approximately $10,500, which will have to do. Michael has many goals he hopes to achieve, some of which could not be publicly disclosed at this time. Expansion of student services in Student Affairs such as more referrals, better career development programs, and a wider range on foreign-study Zemanski. The striker positions are to be handled by Mark Rudolph and Mark Stillwagon. According to Coach Herb Lauffer, we can expect to see some very fast soccer this year. He said that our speed is very good, and he plans to use it to our best advantage. He said, "Our game is not going to be an overly physical one, not that we'll be afraid of contact—we won't be running from anyone—but I want to see us outrun them rather than outshove them. We'll depend more on quick thinking and good support to move the ball." Lauffer's game plan includes using a 4-2-4 system. That is using the wings to the best advantage, attempting to spread the op posing team's defense, and then employ our good team speed more to the center for a lightning attack on the goal. His defense plan calls for a tight formation and keeping the other team's attack as narrow as possible. He will be dropping the wings back, some placing nine defenders in our territory at any one time, with no gaps. Coach Lauffer went on to say, "Our game plan follows logically established and proven methods. We will be working on executing information is one important goal. The Dormitory Hassle Committee is another goal. He wants it to grow and act as a sub committee in making recom mendations and advising the SGA. Mike plans to establish a Commuter Council so the voices of the commuters can be heard. Their voices need to be heard not only academically, but also on dining, parking, recreation and other student related problems. Michael urges every student to contribute to the Pennsylvania Student Lobby Fund. Behrend Campus membership will cost a total of $75, which he feels is worth paying. Mike encourages any student with a problem to come to the SGA office. As Michael says, "The door is always open!"

The students can enjoy a lot of great games, and also contribute to the team by going to the matches. Support by the students has been good in the past, because once you see soccer played, it becomes extremely interesting and fun.

The tryouts and casting for "Moonchildren" were completed this week and the rehearsals are now underway. Mr. Arno Selco, assistant professor of theatre and film at Behrend, is directing the production. This year, Mr. Selco did something different with the casting. In the past, productions at Behrend were always cast exclusively from the student body. For "Moonchildren", Mr. Selco has cast - all the adults from the faculty and staff at Behrend and people from the Erie community. This was done for realism; it further dramatizes the generation gap that was so prevalent in the sixties. "Moonchildren" is a realistic, honest, yet controversial play.

The language and the actions of the play are extremely candid. The students do and say exactly what students do and say in their dormitory rooms and off-campus apartments. Mr. Selco says, "I think we would be doing a disservice to the audience if we changed one word or one action of "Moonchildren". It will be performed exactly as it is written." Behrend Players is one of the first college theatre organitations to present "Moonchildren". Since its recent off-Broadway closing, "Moonchildren" has played in London, Washington, D.C., and at the Royal Theatre on Broadway, where it won a best play citation.
