PogeTwe OPINION PAW From The Desk Of The Editor Winter Weekend, 1978, did not begin in a very promising way, with the cancellation of the semi formal dance Friday night, but it moved to a dramatic finish on Sunday. Anyone who was for tunate enough to be at the ski slopes Sunday saw, in addition to the toboggan races and the tug of-war, a one-armed nut running around taking pictures, a dog cross-country skiing with his family, and an unprecedented event involving participants as well as spectators willingly guzzling hot chocolate purchased from Dobbins. (I guess people lose their senses when in the cold Do you realize that we are already past the midpoint of (his academic year? I can’t believe it, but I guess time flies when you’re having fun ... If you read the story on the first page or heard through the grapevine you probably know the tuition is going up again. I thought you might like to know that this hike makes us the second highest state college in the country as far as tuition goes. You must remember, quality education costs alot!!! It should be noted that in the same Board of Trustee meeting that the tuition hike was passed; a proposal was passed to give the athletic department $260,000 to' expand Beaver Stadium. It was also brought up at the meeting that all of the monies for T.V. rights and ticket sales money stop in the athletic department, so don’t give me that excuse APPLICATION FOR COLLEGIAN STAFF POSITION Name Phone ; Address Position Desired Related Experience Can You Type? Ye; Waht Are Your Reasons For Applying?. Return this application to the R.U.B. desk marked attention Collegian. Thank you for applying. By Dave Jordan Editor-In-Chief too long!) I would personally like to congratulate the winners of the tug-of-war; Mark Villee, Paul Eiben, Pat Naughton, Rich Austin, Boe Fajt, and anchor man Dave Rodgers. I would also like to personally congratulate the winners of the toboggan race. However, unfortunately, I don’t know their names, so guys, I owe you a raincheck. On a more business-like note, keeping with tradition, the Editors of the Collegian turn over the reins at the beginning of Spring term and help the new As I See It by Kurt Cavano Executive Editor again. But who cares? Fifteen bucks, I only have to pay it one more time anyway. Speaking of graduating, I need someone to take over my job as Executive Editor. The job is not very demanding, matter of fact its pretty damn easy. All you have to do is write a few editorials about pertinent social issues, lay out page two of the newspaper, and act like you know what’s going on around here. If you are at all interested let me know, or drop off your name and number at the RUB Desk. I would like to say “hi” to Mrs. Taylor and also assure her that she need not worry, as we didn’t print anything this week about the lousy food at Dobbins. My personal congratulations to Dave Rodgers who was picked tc fill the vacant R.A. position in Niagara Hall. I’m sure he’ll do a '.rend Collegian editors. We don’t enjoy being accused of being revolutionaries. Therefore, my merry band of editors and I are looking for recruits. The qualifications are not very demanding. After all, I’m an Ag major who can’t spell. If interested in any of the editor positions, or now that you mention it, any position on the Collegian, you should leave your name and telephone number at the RUB desk. And now for something com pletely different... “He who laughs last usually doesn’t get it.” more than adequate job. I would like to congratulate Maintenance on the good job they’re doing attempting to keep up with old man winter. They haven’t had a break all winter, but neither have we for that matter. I wish we would get either snow or rain, but the slush is too much!!! I suppose if one lives in Erie, he must have a wide variety of accouterments to suit all conditions. In keeping with most of the advertising of these recent weeks, the Collegian would like to make next week’s paper an issue of the third kind. In closing, I would like to congratulate George Foster for bemg appointed to the Behrend College Avisory Board. Rumor has it that he was up against some pretty stiff competition. Congrats again. Letters Are you worried that “Behrend College” won’t ring a bell with employers when you hit the job market? If so, you’ll want to get involved with a new organization on campus that has proclaimed “drawing attention to this school” one of its main goals. The new group calls itself the Behrend College Political Science Association and met initially January 18 in the RUB seminar room. Though the club’s focus is political science, those attending expressed belief that club activities could serve to increase student-faculty contact, make ties with other area colleges, and publicize the quality of education at this school. Success in the latter effort would make job hunting easier for Behrend College graduates. Zachary Irwin, a member of the political science faculty here, coordinated the initial gathering. He explained the dub would have freedom to discuss political ideas and events that simply cannot f j $lO I • Gets You Skis, Boots, and Poles • ® Get Back to Nature * l This Weekend Z • • On Cross Countr/ Skis f Sign up at the RUB Desk ? • •_ 9 4 99 •• • • VM•• »_• • • «_• •• • • «• M •_« V Editorial Policy The editorials appearing in this newspaper will be opinionated and therefore subject to criticism.

Lectures and showings of documentary and foreign films could be arranged as well as debates within the club and against those of other area colleges. The association could study and take public stands on issues of all levels, with the purpose of making the campus population politically aware. That awareness could be en hanced by arranging social gatherings where all academic subjects could be informally discussed. Thus, the club is not only for political scienceand pre law major students, but for all interested in building a more stimulating after-class en vironment. The club is only in its initial stages. Members are now drafting a constitution and ap plying for an SGA charter.
