The Bust Line
Behrend students should be
familiar with this list of names:
Kojak, Gene Johnson, Farrah-
Fawcett, Columbo, Dean
Banium, Farrah-Fawcett,
Officer Reed, the rest of the
Behrend Security Guards, and
Farrah-Fawcett. These infamous
people have, helped to lower
crime at Behrend; and for the
last month, they have succeeded.
Never the less, I still have some
vicious acts that are below
human dignity to report.
On November 2, some Behrend
students were drinking beer
(those ruthless criminals).
However, they were not caught.
On November 7, a tape deck,
two speakers, hockey skates, and
a Timex watch were stolen from
a 1970 Chevy convertible; amount
was Si 15.
On November 11, a “hit and
run” occurred in the “C” lot.
This hit vehicle was a 1972 silver
grey Pontiac with $172 of
estimated damage. If any
students have information con
cerning this incident, please
Dean of Student Affairs
Who's who
by Joanne Goldberg
Collegian Staff Writer
That warm and charming man
about campus, who I am sure you
have all seen is none other than
<>ur own Dean of Student Affairs,
Benjamin A. Lane. Dean Lane
holds a bachelor’s degree in
English Literature and German.
When I asked where he obtained
his degrees and he answered
much as I expected - with “a
Nittany growl”. I am sure now
that you are wondering how a
man with a background in
English and German ended up in
Student Affairs?
Dean Lane taught German for
two years at State College to pay
his way through graduate school.
After graduate school, Dean Lane
came to a very small Behrend
College as an instructor of
German and English. Once
arrived, he became very involved
with the co-curricular activities
<>f the students. Lane is respon
sible for getting many of our
existing clubs off the ground. “I
was the first director and advisor
of the Behrend Players, as well as
f irst advisor of the Literary Club
and magazine. I was also advisor
•>f the German club. I really do
miss it.” Dean Lane sees his
present job as Dean of Student
Aft airs as one that “is mainly
concerned with the quality of
student life, involving the co
curricular programs and the
advocate of students to other
segments of the University.”

contact Behrend Security. Also
that day, two windows were
smashed; one in 346 Lawrence by
a snowball and the other in
Lawrence lobby by a rock.
On November 13, a door (204
Perry) was burned by aerosol
flame thrower. The students who
occupied the room must pay the
damage. Also that day, a non
student hit her head against the
Niagara dorm wall while sled
riding.
Between November 25 and 28,
someone was illegally trapping on
Behrend property. Students
should be reminded that trapping
and carrying of a weapon is
illegal on Behrend property.
On December 1, a traffic ac
cident occured on “C” lot and
Stadium Drive; estimated
damage was $250.
Finally, another reminder to
Behrend students, you may park
in the lower lots, the “F” lot (the
large one behind Lawrence and
Dobbins Halls), and the Reed lot,
from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM on
weekdays and all day weekends.
at Behrend College
Dean Lane is honestly and
earnestly interest and involved
with the entire student body. Like
most administrators in the Penn
State system, he “sees discipline
as a rehabilitative process.” He
also feels that “the most won
derful aspect of my job is being
part of an experience in which
men and women meet for the first
time and share in some great
aspects of our culture. The best
times I’ve had with students is
just talking to them and sharing
our problems and views. My job
is both intellectually and spir
tually exciting.” When I asked
Dean Lane what were some of his.
favorite things about our campus
itself he replied, “all 425 acres.”
Benjamin Lane is extremely
active in an organization called
The Association of Student
Personel Administrators, as well
as numerous groups that seek a
better understanding of the youth
of America and their problems.
He serves on many committees

on the national, state and com

involved in a study on drug abuse
and alcoholism in our community
area. When Dean Lane has free
time, which would seem like
never, he enjoys ballet and opera.
Dean Lane would like to extend
“best wishes to everyone for the
holiday season. I haven’t thought
of a New Year’s resolution, yet,
but better academic grades for
all students sounds pretty good.”

I remember the Christmas
I was told
Santa Claus just doesn’t exist
The news left my mind
shattered and cold,
I thought. .. Christmas this
year will be missed.
As Christmas grew near,
happy wondering
grew inside my
little sister’s mind
Should I tell her the truth?
my mind was pondering.
No, I couldn’t tell her,
I was too kind.
So that Christmas night
I remained awake.
To prove Santa’s existence
to myself.
Really it was for my
feelings sake
As I watched the clock
pound minutes on the shelf.
Suddenly, a poise
from the chimeny;
A jolly fat man did appear
And up inside that chimney
Was the echo of
the hooves of reindeer.
He filled the stockings
from his sack.

old and kind.
With presents brimming
from his lap
His eyes looked into mine.
The morning crept through
the frosted panes
The smell of pancakes
filled the air.
I caught a glimpse
of sugared candy canes
As I awoke in
daddy’s leather chair.
The Christmas spirit
arose in my veins
As I watched my sister
descend those stairs.
This picture of Christmas
shall always remain,
Santa exists for all
of us who care.
