A new term is now here and for
many of us it will be last at
Behrend. I am sure many of you
are very happy about that, but I
am also sure that there are many
who are not looking forward to
leaving. Regardless of that,
spring is coming which is a good
time to have a good time, so enjoy
the term.
I would like to apologize for the
irregularity of the Collegian
during Winter Term, and say that
the cause was poor organization
within our staff. Being the editor,
I will take the blame for that. I
am going to put the hammer
down and hope that, we finish the
year up, the same way we
started; with a quality
newspaper coming out when it

Are you squeezing every cent
that is humanly possible out of
Behrend? If you’re not, you’re a
fool. I think we should all be
milking good old PSU for all she’s
worth.
If this seems pretty ruthless
and obnoxious, it’s meant to be!!
Our tuition is too high, but there’s
nothing we can do about that
except to make sure that for
every cent we put into this place,
we try to get back a nickel’s
worth.
As soon as more students begin library, there’s a way to beat that

Sgt. King Does Art Work
Deacon The Beacon
His name is Deacon, and he
plans to be here long enough to
obtain every degree that Behrend
College has to offer. He’s not
extremely polite, having a
propensity for pointing at people
and speaking rather bluntly
sometimes. On the other hand,
he’s honest, tough, a hard
worker, and very dedicated.
Those who know him agree
without qualification that he’ll be
a real asset to Behrend for as
long as he’s here.
Deacon is the product, and is
fated to be the chief represen
tative, of the Army Reserve
Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
Department, also known as the
Department of Military Science.

should.
In the last issue, Kurt and
myself mentioned that we are in
desperate need of a staff for next
year. We need writers,
photographers, typists, in ad
dition to editors. If you are in
terested and qualified (the only
real qualification is that you are
interested) let us know as soon as
possible, and you can start
whenever you want; later on this
afternoon if you really want.

teacher gives hard test. Perhaps
he does, but if his lectures are
brilliant, then that course is
worth more than nearly any other
course you might take that term.
So why not take it? You may
work a little harder, but you know
you’ve learned something when
you finish that class.
This isn’t the only way to get
your money out of Behrend
College. There are hundreds of
others.
If you don’t like our inadequate
decided that some sort of iden
tifying emblem was needed to
symbolize the integrality of . the
relationship between ROTC and
Behrend, and, more specifically,
the ROTC program itself. Mr.
Reid Schmiedlin, the ROTC
Department secretary, came up
with the idea of combining the
Behrend Cub with a steel helmet,
representing the U S Army, in a
take-off on the famous World War
II “I Want You In The U S Army”
poster by James Montgomery
Flagg. The art work was done by
Master Sergeant Don King, who
is an aspiring illustrator, and
painter in his spare time.
It won’t be long before you’ll be
meeting Deacon.
He’ll be fixing you with his
glare and loaded finger from
bulletin boards, posters, the
ROTC Cadet Corps Newsletter,
and inevitably, bathroom walls
all over the campus. What he is
saying is, “Take a look at what
we’re doing in Army ROTC. We
have a challenging and un
beatable opportunity waiting for
you.”

answer is very simple; you can
win great prizes like albums, T
shirts, radios, plus many more.
Somebody has finally come up
with a contest, at absolutely no
cost to the student. This
somebody is Paul Bailey, the
head of the Instructional Com
munication Center. In order to
win, all you have to do is to watch
S.I.S. and if you see your student
number flashed on the screen
(Paul will be flashing twice a
day) then run to the I.C.C. office
and claim your prize. There are a
few other rules which will be
posted all over the campus.
For his time and effort devoted
to the students, I would like to
thank Paul Bailey very, very
much.
work; that’s what they get paid
for.
Students also fail to take ad
vantage of financial aid.
Everyone should file for financial
aid, even if he doesn’t think he
will get it. You’d be surprised at
the number of people who would
get some sort of aid if they ap
plied, and any free money is good
money. I won’t even mention
except in passing the large
number of extra-curricular
activities lectures, per
formances, coffee houses that
students fail to take advantage
of.
There are plenty of ways to
squeeze Behrend for everything
you can, and these are but a few.
The more you try to do so, the
more enjoyable and rewarding
your stay will be.

Promoting good, safe
marksmanship and fun are the
two main goals of the Behrend
Rifle Club. With this in mind, the
club is out looking for new
members.
Members participate in weekly
intraclub training matches as
well as collegiate matches
against other colleges such as
Gannon, . Edinboro, and
University Park (PSU).
With meetings every Thursday
from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.,
this extracurricular activity
should not impose too much on
the student’s normal routine
schedule. All weapons are
provided, and coaching is
available from the club’s advisor
and experienced coach, Donald
King. The rifle range the club
presently utilizes belongs to the
Lawrence Park Rifle Club. Rides
to and from the range are
provided and leave the RUB
parking lot at 7 p.m., as the
Behrend Army ROTC Dept,
allows the use of their van for
transportation. Come on out and
have a good time by supporting
the Behrend Rifle Club!
