Or if you have a class then, come eat lunch with our speakers in the RUB faculty dining room at noon oi the same Warren report questioned ecture success Anyone who attended Mr. Ralph Schoenman's lecture, September 24, in Erie Hall, was treated to an evening of highly interesting enlightenment, per taining to the political assassinations of the past years. Mr. Schoenman revealed a fantastic body of facts that discredit the official versions of the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. The facts are based on documented evidence. One of the facts raised at the beginning of the lecture was that 2.2 per cent of the population in the U.S. controls 88 per cent of the national wealth. Mr. Schoenman spoke of the various effects of the centralization of financial power and how this structure of power requires political assassinations. A list was then presented of South American countries where political assassinations occurred that had some connection with the American Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Schoenman's most con crete evidence appeared when he spoke of the Warren Commission Report (which he called a "tissue of lies") and its version of the J.F.K assassination. His logical arguments, supported by the Zapruder film and other evidence, directly disputed the Warren findings. Mr. Schoenman wondered how the Warren report evolved, since it has no relation to the evidence, exhibits and testimonies. Another point brought up was what logical reasons would Jack Ruby have for killing Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. Schoenman The speakers for this program are Ms. Patricia Cassidy, Director of Public Relations at First National Bank of Erie; Ms. Judy Holahan, Director of Public Relations at Villa Maria College; and Ms. Katie Schubat, of WQLN TV, along with a free lance ad vertiser all very exciting and talented women. This panel discussion is the first of a series of seminars sponsored by the Career Development and Placement Center. and the Woman's Awareness Group, focusing on career interests and concerns that women (and men) may have about career decisions. So if you have such questions as "What major provides the best route to the field of ad vertising?", or "What is the job market like for public relations?", come join us on next Thursday!! Homecoming events We know it's late, but . . . are you doing anything on Saturday, October 11, 1975? If not, then make plans to attend the Behrend College 27th annual "Homecoming 1975." You may see some old friends. Get into the best times of your college life by attending the Soccer game, followed by the homecoming Dance. Behrend will be playing Indiana State. Find new friends - instead of saying there is nothing to do. And if the excitement during the soccer game isn't enough to keep you enlightened us with the fact that Mr. Ruby, after arrested, requested to go to Washington for his own personal testimony. He reportedly said he could not speak to the authorities in Dallas because of some undefined reason. Mr. Schoenman says Chief Justice Warren denied Ruby's request. Mr. Schoenman looked for a sufficient motive for the Warren "cover-up". Thereafter proceeding into a long argument or hypothesis that I didn't quite grasp. The inter-connection of names involved with the various assassinations is too large to be comprehended easily within one Th. hind - Mr Coffee n° Gay Combining soft music and light humor is Behrend's own Gay Catania. Her repertoire included popular songs from those of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and also some originals. (See story p. 3.) New assistant dean "I consider my contact with the students the real fun part of my job," says Dr. Anthony A. Salvia, Behrend College's new Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Studies. While his position is new to Behrend, he is not. He has been affiliated with our campus since 1967. Besides being the admissions officer here, his title unifies his warm, then delicious hot chocolate will be served at no • cost. Afterwards, have a relaxing evening at the Mark IV, beginning with cocktails at 7 p.m, dinner at 8, and dancing from 9 until ? to the music of the Mark's band,. The combination can't be beat. So, all in all, it promises to be a very special event. Donation is only $lO per couple. This includes your choice of a shrimp or steak dinner. How could you go wrong?? The only way is by not attending "Homecoming 1975." Thursday, October 2, 1975 Schoenman's argument. His facts, however, were presented in a most forceful manner, and in logical and concrete context. Sometimes his facts, contrary to official evidence, were difficult for me to accept. Mr. Schoenman later remarked that the alleged conspiracies of political murder, its purposes and causes, are not something which will continue if the common people see it. He went on to say that this is un dermining the democratic process of this country. These last statments proved to me that Mr. Schoenman is sincere in his quest for the truth and therefore made his evidence more responsibilities in three main areas. These are the students records, the faculty stenographic services, and the instructional services. His office, located in the Administration Building, will straighten discrepancies in students' records or clarify laws which pertain to students. Dr. Salvia explains this role by saying "We are here to suit the students' needs." His responsibility with the faculty stenographic service is to insure that the teachers receive the printed material they need. This steno pool is used by the 94 members of the I3ehrend faculty. The instructional services he supervises include facilities such as room 119 of the Behrend Building, which is affiliated with the language lab. Dean Salvia began his association with Behrend College in 1967 as a teacher. In the summer of 1970 he joined the faculty as a full-time professor. "Problems arise every day, I see perhaps ten students a week," said Dean Salvia. Also, here at Behrend College, "the student comes first."
