January 15, 1976 Meet your team: Larry Szosozorek, the Cubs' only senior this year, came to Behrend from Cathedral Prep High School to major in science and play basketball. He has racked up 483 points in his three previous years• here, and has earned a varsity letter each year. He has averaged 75 per cent on free throws, and has seen a lot of action this year so far. Keep an eye on Larry to make a constant contribution to the team during the rest of the season. President's message - con't. from page one the Senate has any. different in terpretation of its policy regarding, final examinations that the Senate must inform me of this no later than their March 1976 meeting. I also asked the Senate to provide me with advice con cerning the length of the summer term beginning in the summer of 1976—should we continue with the current ten weeks in the summer or should the University move to an eight week term as has been recommended by many. I in dicated to the Senate that this was a matter of concern also to students and I asked the Senate therefore to take steps to involve student opinion in the process of providing me with - their advice and indicated that advice on this matter was also needed by the March 1976 meeting of the Senate. Budget and Tuition The rising costs involved in University education is of concern to all people in the University and is a special concern to students insofar as the impact these have on the level of tuition. I have continually expressed' my -con cern about the rising tuition at Penn State which has resulted in our University becoming out of the reach of more and more low and middle-income families. The budget request for the next academic year •was submitted to the State last September and contains a requested increase of approximately 15 per cent or 16 million dollars. The request reflects no tuition increase and argues strongly for this level of appropriation so that no increase will be necessary. The budget request indicates essentially inflationary and mandatory cost increases and the monies necessary to handle a small increase in student enrollment of around 100 ad ditional students at University Park and approximately 700 at the Commonwealth (.Campuses. We will not see the proposed budget prepared by the Governor Eastway Bowling Lanes. 4110 Buffalo Read . Open Bowling Mon.

Alma Mater One last item is less crucial than housing or the calendar or the tuition, but more symbolic. While you were away I announced at Commencement the adoption, recommended by the Alumni Association, - of a change - in the third verse of the-Alma Mater, a revision suggested by its author, Fred Lewis Pattee, in 1948. He did this in recognition of a growing number of women in the student body. Five years ago when I came to Penn State we moved to change the imposed ratio of men and women admissions, related to the fields of study traditionally entered by men, and this change occurred before such ratios became illegal. As more and more women have come to Penn State and indeed are enrolling increasingly in such fields as engineering and agriculture, the ratio of women to men has become almost one to one. The . original third verse of the Alma Mater, written in 1901, with its reference only to men, is no longer exclusively pertinent and fortunately Dr. Pattee foresaw this circumstance and• sentiment in writing a revision over twenty years ago. The revised verse is : "When we stood at childhood's gate, Shapeless in the hands of fate, Thou didst mold us, dear old AFRICAN TRADING BEADS Complete Stock • Carved Camel Bone • India Glass • Hishi Beads • Ostrich Egg Shells • Mother . of Pearl • Fetishes • Carved Olive Wood Beads s Petruvian & Mexican Ceramics e Sliced & Drilled Shells ••Onyx Beads • Sliced & Drilled Walnuts eWild Game Feathers • Black Lip Mother of Pearl Hishi • Pukka Beads • • Turquoise Nuggets • Jewelry Findings Neck Rings • Bracelet Rings • Liquid Silver • Tiger Toil D' Erie's First Craft Center EASTWAY PLAZA /c 2316fit0 Buffalo Road Ph. 11914744 4D-43,31:1Lit0 tOaLs Neaa..Thurs...Ftl. 114: Tuez..WeiL. Sat. 114 Waynesburg too tough. Cubs By Milce Kaveney - Business Manager The Waynesburg Yellow jackets came out running against our Behrend Cubs and when they stopped they had run the home team off the floor by a 91-76 score last Saturday night. _ Waynesburg College, although displaying an effective zone press and fast breaking at virtually every opportunity, started out slow as the Cubs broke out to an early first half lead. Paced by the inside scoring of Jon Kennedy, who accumulated twelve points in the first half, the Cubs main tained a lead until the last minute of the half. The Yellowjackets got their running game working and their pressure zone defense forced a number of errant Behrend passes, as Waynesburg Mark Twain to The Student Union Board is bringing to the camptis a unique type of entertainment, the character portrayal of a famous person. For Behrend audiences, the infamous American humorist Mark Twain will be seen as characterized by Scott L. Brown, a sophomore German major at Oberlin College. Mr. Brown has been praised for his work, as he State, • Dear old State." As we begin this new term which introduces not only a New Year but the 200th anniversary year of our nation's founding, we can commit ourselves to the fullest response to our educational opportunities here at Perm State. " ' Keystoners An organizational meeting of the Behrend Keystone society was held Dec. 16th prior to Christmas vacation. The purpose of the meeting was to elect of ficers and to discuss future ac tivities and projects to be spon sored by the K.S. The newly elected executive board consists of President - Margaret S. Fisher, Vice- President - Pat Ketzel, Secretary - Sue Tilman; Treasurer - Ann Lane, and Advisor - Mr. Grode. The Keystone Society is currently conducting a mem bership drive, and anyone (male or female) with a • cumulative average of approximately 3.0 or above is cordially invited to join the organization. Meetings will be held on alternate Tuesdays during Winter term, during common hour, in Nick 116. drop one took a slim 40-39 half time lead. Kevin Bealko had 18 of those 40 points, most of them on the end of a Waynesburg fast-break, which usually caught the Cubs with just a lone defender to stop the three man break. The second half was close at first, with Behrend keeping within four points until the ten minute mark. The Waynesburg press caused numerous turnovers and their quick outlet passes led to more easy buckets by the visitors. The Cubs battled the Waynesburg defense and when they were able fo break the zone press, it usually led to a score, usually by the Cubs big man, Jon Kennedy. Kennedy played an excellent, hard-working game on both ends of the court, although his scoring was most evident. lecture here portrays Twain in the last year of his life, when he was seventy-four years old, requiring extensive and meticulously applied make up. However, the praise is also due to Mr. Brown's mastery of the late author's voice, man nerisms, and story-telling style. The portrayal has required a large amount of research by Mr. Brown, and he continues to study his library of Twain biographies to perfect his act, even though he has been performing as Mark Twain since he was 13 years ,old. His research has also included conversations with three people who knew Twain when they were young" children. The show to be presented January 20 is a re-creation of one of the late author's humorous lectures, with which Mr. Brown has achieved great success in the New England area and in Ohio, performing at colleges, private schools and for various clubs and social groups. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. in the Reed Lecture Hall and admission is free for students with activity cards and $l.OO for others.

Bealko continued his scoring pace, being in the right place at the most opportune moments. He finished with 37 points on the night, followed by teammate Rick Trainor with 19.
