As the Collegian's en
tertainment editor I want to
welcome you all to Behrend
College and I hope that your year
here is a good one.
My job is to let you know what's
going down around Behrend and
the Erie area as far as en
tertainment goes, and if you look
around, even just the Behrend
Campus itself offers much to do.
The student - union board is the
organization that brings you
many of the activities on campus.
The board, along with Jay Di-
Frank, Student Union Manager,
plan things such as the Sunday
night films, Coffee Houses, which
feature excellent acoustic en
tertainment, concerts like the
Livingston-Taylor concert
coming up in November, parties,
lectures, etc.
But to bring the students the
best activities possible the board
The laundry dilemma
Freshman face hassle

So the big day finally came. All
those kids who are used to being
the high school seniors, are now
the little punk freshman in
college. (At least in the
estimation of the upperclassmen
around campus.)
And those upperclassmen have
good reason for thinking that.
especially when they see the
freshmen trying to do their own
laundry for the first time. And so
we have the basis for the washer
zind dryer dilemma.
Now most of us who have never
been faced with having . to do our
own laundry think all that is
involved is taking off your dirty
socks at the end of the day.
throwing them into the hamper.
and by some strange miracle.
mommy) those same socks
appear in our dresser the very
next morning. Were we ever
surprised to find out that it wasn't
quite that easy.
After the dirty clothes have
made a good sized pile at the
bottom of th , - closet. we decide
that the time has come for us to
finally learn how to wash them.
So we grab the pile. and our box
of all-purpose detergent. and off
we march to the laundry room.
With a big smile on our face we
walk in. hut that smile quickly
turns upside down when we meet
lace to face with our enemies: the
washer and dryer. "This will be a
breeze. all I have to do is read the
instructions, - is what runs
through our minds.
So we look down at the in
structions and notice that it says
to wash whites in hot and colors in
cold. "Oh wow! I have both! I
guess I'll compromise. I'll use

For example, the normal ad

most importantly, the more

the washer, set it on warm. and
go on to read the next direction.
Step two says to add a
measured amount of soap. We
look on the box and see that it
says one pound. "Well, that
certainly is a measured amount,
so I'll add the entire box of soap.
After about fifteen minutes, we
notice that the washer is starting

Testimony
( WASHINGTON. D.C. Penn
sylvania Senator Hugh Scott
recently testified before the
Subcommittee on Water
Resources of the Senate Com
mittee on Public Works con
cerning the need for six important
public works projects in Penn
sylvania. These projects arc
under consideration for
authorization and inclusion in the
1976 Water Resources
Development Act. If they are
authorized and funded by
congress. Pennsylvania would
receive nearly $ll2 million in
Federal assistance for these
projects.
The Pennsylvania projects he

Theatre
The Behrend Players' fall play,
"When You Comin' Back, Red
Ryder?" has a special meaning to
Susie Gifford. Nick Monico, and
Peter Allburn. These three
people. elected to represent the
Behrend Players' fall production,
share an opinion that should be
acknowledged by all Behrend
Campus students. .The Behrend
theatre is an important asset to
our college.
Susie's brown eyes speak of the
enrichment she gains from the
theatre program at Behrend. She
elaborates. "People who have
never had the chance to work in
the theatre can at Behrend: it is
an opportunity for people to
express themselves."
Nick feels it is essential for
personal growth to communicate
to people. "People in the theatre
are more willing to express
themselves: theatre is growth."
Peter Al ]burn. who has done 168
plays, explains the advantages a
small theatre has_ "You can
acquire a more intimate
relationship with your audience in
a small theatre like Rehrend's:
the quality of a theatre has
nothing to do with its size."
The direction of Mr. Selco
creates a unique learning ex
perience for Rehrend students.
Come to appreciate the Behrend
Players' presentation of "When
You Comin' Rack. Red Ryder?".
