Richard Winslow, Assistant Professor of History: Judith Carlson. Assistant Professor of English: Salvador Parco, Assistant SUN voted ad hoc by Ann Hamilton Collegian Staff Writer The issue which brought more than twenty newcomers to the Monday, March 21 SGA meeting was the proposal of a student organised committee entitled SUN (Students Unite Now). The main objectiye of SUN, according to one ofits'members, is to in vestigate and report in consistencies of University sanctions. Mike Pond designated SUN an ad hoc committee to the SGA, with Jacque LeMoine as chair person. Freshman president Kevin Lenze reported that a Branch Campus meeting was held on March 26 at University Park. This meeting permitted representatives Kathy Morton and Kevin Lenze to voice the concerns and problems of Behrend to University authorities. There will be an SGA meeting next Monday. April 11. Topics to be discussed will include the Honors and Awards Banquet, next vear's SGA elections, and SUN.’ SUN seers by Ann Hamilton Collegian Staff Writer An ad hoc committee was recently formed by interested volunteers of the Behrend Student Body. This committee, entitled SUN (Students Unite Now), has stated its desire to meet and arbitrate with other students, faculty, and ad ministrators in an effort to im prove the Student Discipline Code of the Behrend College. The nature of this committee, according to one of its members, is investigative. SUN wants to expose what it feels are in consistent penalties within the Disciplinary Code and vague We’re Looking For An Editor! The Collegian is now accepting ap plications for the position of Editor-in chief for the 77-78 year. If interested, stop by our office, or contact any staff member, interviews will take place Tuesday, April 12, during common hour! Thursday, April 7 1977 Professor of Sociology; and Melody Laudensack, Instructor in Physical Education, all of whom have also been fired. Temporary contracts were extended for one more academic year to Dr. Adrian Bohl. Instructor in Speech Com munications; Dr. Lorraine Lees. Assistant Professor of History; and Dr. Fred Crawford. Assistant Professor of English. Replacements are also being sought for Ms. Cynthia Barnett- Shelbv. Instructor in Sociology, and Mr. Paul Bates. Instructor in Finance, who are resigning Bates has accepted a job in public accounting and Barnett-Shelby is moving to New Orleans. The Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences is also looking for three additional Business instructors for their soon-to-be-approved four-year Business program. The newly hired Psychology instructor is Stephen B. Knouse of Ohio State, who is expecting his Ph.D this summer for graduate work in Industrial- Organizational Psychology and Consumer Behavior. Knouse's area of expertise would com plement a business student's program of study. Knouse's teaching experience is limited to graduate assistant duties. Mr. Jim Kurne is replacing Cluff. In many instances, the type of replacements being sought for those leaving reflects in part new emphasis on practical skills and job-oriented aspects of courses. The English Department, for example, is seeking a technical writing instructor, who will fill a “permanent" position. Dr Archie Loss. Head of Arts and Humanities, says however, that Behrend is not becoming a “vocational" school, but that a balance must be struck to offset the high number of literature specialists. An urban sociologi:- - is being sought to fill Parcos position and any new politico: science instructors will fu qualified to teach public ad ministration and state and local government justice policies concerning infractions. SUN wants specific rules to provide consistent "sanctions" for all students who violate the discipline code. This committee also believes that the students should be able to take an active part and have some influence on the regulations that the University determines. There will be a meeting Thursday from 1:00 to 3:00 for all committee heads in the RUB Conference Room. Anyone in terested in Students Unite Now should contact Jacque LeMoine. acting chairperson, or any of the volunteers representing com muters or dorm students.
