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

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

goal. The Dormitory Hassle
Committee is another goal. He
wants it to grow and act as a sub

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!"

to say that every member of the
team is giving his maximum, and
is very enthusiastic about his

if his team doesn't have it, but
this group is responding
tremendously."
Soccer at Behrend promises to
be exciting, and entertaining, as
well as successful this year. 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 coach and team members all
say that it makes a big difference
in how they feel out there When
there is a crowd watching and
yelling for them.
Women's tennis team has
high hopes for new year
After last year's disappointing
2-8 record, the women's tennis
coaches, Mrs. Melody Lauden
sack and Mrs. Jan Wilson, have
hopes that this year's season will
be a winning one. With two letter
winning players returning from
last year, plus a dynamic
newcomer and seven other
talented players making up the
team, the coaches feel that their
hopes for a winning season are
justified.

is joyously funny...and yet an
unaffectedly profound play..."
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.

According to Mr. Selco,
"Moonchildren" will create as
much, if not more, codroversy
than "Sticks and Bones."
(Behrend's 1974 fall production).
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.
