New clubs form
By Nancy Mullen
Did you ever stop to think how
hard it would be to start from
scratch and build a proud
organization and establish a
tradition? That is exactly the
problem the army cadets of
Behrend College have to face.
The ROTC program at Behrend
was organized this year. The
cadets of this school are trying to
start some new activities open to
the student body, but under the
ROTC department. These ac
tivities are The Stars and Stripes
of Behrend, a women's trick drill
team and the Behrend Rifle club
with a team as a part of the club_
The Stars and Stripes of
Behrend is a women's trick drill
team new this year. They have
elected officers and have chosen

forming Arts Hall Association, a
civic group formed to support
Akron U's new hall and the arts,
will sponsor the event. It will be a

Bicentennial by joining the
photographic art with music, the
dance and drama.

photographers nationwide for
submission by February, 1976,
and exhibition is scheduled for
April, 1976, in the 26,000 square

designing the uniforms that they
will wear some day. As soon as
they have practiced they will be
competing with other drill teams
in the area.
The Rifle Club of Behrend has
also elected officers and are
holding meetings of instruction
and safety every week. Everyone
who participates in the club has a
chance of making an eight man or
mixed (man and woman) team.
The members of the club have a
chance of competing with the
team members for a position on
the team. Both of these activities
are open to the student body and
they - are encouraged to par
ticipate in either or both.
Meetings of each club are posted
slides.

Borkowski, Jennifer Gregor, Robin Jacobowski, Ann Lane,
Peggy Rowan, and Jan Schuerman were announced as the
Queen's Court; and Patrick Breen, Jack Lemoyne, Brian
Malijasic, Doug Reu, Don Seiber, and Michael Woods as the
King's Court.
Witnessing the gala event were many alumni and present
Behrend College students. Honored guests seated at the
head table for dinner were Dr. Thomas G. Fox, Dean of
Faculty, and his wife; Benjamin A. Lane, Dean of Student
Affairs, and his wife; and Jay Di Frank, Student Union

nifer Gregor, homecoming chairperson and candidate, and

soon.

If anyone happens to see
students doing calisthenics on
Sunday afternoons in back of
Lawrence it is not all army cadets
but only males who signed up for
Rangers. Rangers is an
organization open to only male
cadets of ROTC who want to
participate. They will be trained
both physically and mentally as
good leaders and capable of
handling any given situation.
The students who graduate
from Penn State University or
Behrend College after four years
in Army ROTC will become of
ficers in the Active Army or the
Reserves. As of this time no cadet
enrolled in Behrend's program is
obligated to join but I feel many
will during the years to come.
At this time the cadets enrolled
in this program are looking for a
good time and they are going to
have one if they want it. But first
the work must be completed and
learned before the good times can
begin!
Fire hazard forces change

Collegian Staff Writer
The entire office of • student
affairs has moved from the
second floor of the administrative
building to the second floor of the
RUB. (Occupying the area which
was formerly the Quiet Lounge.)
The move was instigated by the
Department of Labor and
Industry, who declared student
affairs previo....3 offices as un
safe because they did not meet
fire regulations. Some of the
specific problems were the ex
cessively narrow stairways and
inadequate fire exits.
After the notice to move was
received, a new location had to be
found quickly. Through the

reasons: (1) the Quiet Lounge
was used very little, (2) the
selection of Lawrence Hall could
have created some bias in the
mind of the commuter, since the
student affairs office is for all the
student body.
Dean Roseland Bainum,
assistant dean of student affairs
is extremely pleased with the
move to the RUB. She explained
why, "We've had more students
come into the office since we are
now in their building, and not in
the administration building which
was ours." She went on to say
that the personnel of student
affairs is seen by the students
more than before and this is
