Fire Alarms Ripped Off By Barb Bogdan A total of seven exit door fire alarms were literally ripped from the door of the West exit on Niagara Hall during the ten week - peri(Kl'of Winter term 1979. Each of the alarm systems had to be completely replaced, at a cost of $199 each, including labor. This adds up to nearly $l4OO spent in maintenance of just this one item alone. In monetary terms that is almost one-third of all the damages in all three dorms for Ihe whole term of, $5OOO. The sad part of the story is that none of this was necessary at all. If the men and women of Niagara Hall had exercised their rights, they could have controlled to a point the hours on the - door and a-voided this unnecessary ex pense from being subtracted from the security deposits of the men of Niagara Hall. The way which Niagara Hall students may change the hours on the door is to make out a petition properly worded of course and submit it to the department of student affairs for approval, stating the changes desired. Lawrence Hall has already, done .this, and has the door unlocked at certain times. Perhaps the students of Niagara Hall could request that it be unlocked during all the hours of visitation, or even from lunch time on since that's the closest door to Dobbins Hall. Anyone interested in saving themselves any more money should see Tim Leiniger in the Duty Office about the proper form for a petition, ttictlitte tax►, the winners were: Is? place. Dave Rea and Linda Mat yon ; 2nd place. Ron Fox and Fiona I3ranton (Vicki's sister): 3rd place. Eric Anderson and Grant Edwards. The rally went smoothly, and was much more organized than the Fall and Winter rallys were. They were just as fun, even though nobody was mite sure what was going on. Summer Term Looks Promising Nina Siegal Rick Allen Hein-end College is instituting a new and different summer program this year. The range of classes and activities has been greatly expanded. The Con tinuing Education Division is in charge of all classes unlike previously when they only con trolled evening classes. A few of the pluses and sur prises to this year's Summer Term are preregistration, two student productions at Studio Theatre, a completely new wilderness program, and an eight week term. The term was shortened from ten weeks to allow students more vacation time between Spring and Sum mer-Fall terms. Classer; will begin June 18, and end August 9.

Thursday, April 5, 1979 Dorm Space Limited By Patty Weiser Mrs. Taylor, from the Office of Housing and Food Services, provided me with much in formation concerning ap plications for housing in the Residence Halls and the availability of space remaining in them for the upcoming year. The residence halls here at Behrend house just over 600 sludents. Since the number of applications received for dorm contracts each year exceeds the number of available rooms, it is necessary to have a system for placement that is fair to everyone. The Housing Office gives first preference to returning dorm students when designating room assignments for next year. Any 01 these students who desire a room next year should have picked ur their contract by February 14 Reque , os made for specific rooms or roommates are honored whenever possible. Spaces are also reserved for advanced st tiding transfer students. economic opportunity students. and athletes. other students who may wish to request a dorm contract *which includes a meal contract miro send their applications t , I"nivei sity Park. There they art stamped with the date and tht h"ur of their arrival before the are soil to Behrend. The Housing Office uses this stamp to de , tunate the order in which the remaining contracts will he arded. Since there may be students who are awarded contracts, buT never arrive or other spaces made available by cancellations early in the year, the housing oft ice maintains a waiting list to fi 11 iliese spaces. The applicants whose requests arrive after all of the rooms are filled are placed on the list using the same method slumping to designate order; An attempt is made to keep the length of the waiting list within the limit of reasonable possibiliq for placement. This enables students to be aware of their need to seek ofi-campus housing. Mrs. Taylor informed me that the residence halls are . ap proximately 100 per cent filled for the coming year and that con tract applications are no longer being acceted from new fresh men!. A list off available off campus housing can be found in the Student Affairs Office in the Reed Union Building. enrollment for Summer Term has le•en dropping. not only at i3e•hrend but also Edinboro. Gannon. and Mercyhursi. liehrend College administrators are hoping to receive from this new program a higher interest in Behrend and a larger enrollment for Summer Term. Dean Fox began pushing for this change last January. Drs. Gamble. Loss. Shull, and Mr. Schenker have been working diliently to create this varied and interesting new Summer Term. They are pleased with the large selection of classes and fey! the students will be also. mill. they see the schedule. The Collegian will be runnmt: the schedule soon and more in formation will be forthcoming So. keep your eyes peeled.
