Page Two Letters Welcome Back I wou:d like to welcome back all the returning students and also all the new incoming fresh man. And say that I hope that everyone had at least as an ex citing and adventurous summer as I had. Adventure for me consisted of venturing into the world of economics by taking an Econ. 4 class and venturing out to Behrend's golf course (the soccer field), to find I could hit a golf ball about 2 feet. Although, I did Dear Editor, I am just curious if the Radio Club will surface to life this year. I enjoyed what little disc spinning I did last year, and know that anyone who had his own show felt that an hour or two was hardly enough to satisfy them. I know the transformer was a joke, but the experience of on-the-air programming could valuable to anyone pursuing a broadcast or regular Journalism degree. Is there any hope for funding? I know one touchy matter was justifying whether the station served any relevant campus needs. Sure, not many people listened to it, but there was very The Radio Club will surface once again. If you are interested in joining you can contact Capt. Bob Schneider in the ROTC Poor Pennsylvania is ILL! Pennsylvania has long been famous for its high taxes and "Houdini" treasury whereby public funds mysteriously disappear. Lately, however, the Keystone State is acquiring a notoriety for a different reason. I speak of sickness. What other state bombards its capital residents with unmeasured doses of radioactivity? Where else does polio crop up in the countryside? Soon we will have to change our name to Painsillvania or the Kidneystone State. After all, we have the patent on Legionaire's Disease, and it still makes a cameo apperance now and then in tiny outbreaks to remind us of our legacy. More recently, they've been frisking the birds and bees to see who's passing the encephalitis around nearby Pymatuning Reservoir.

About all the excitement I got was climbing down the Gorge to 4 mile Creek, to study sedimentary layers with a Geo. Sci. course. So you can see about how ex citing my summer was. So if you did anything really exciting, or something you'd like others to know about let me know and I'll be glad to pass it along. Laura Seman Editor-in-Chief little to operate with. Why not try running speakers into the commuter cafeteria, like they did last year. Or connect the system to those TV messages you see around school. Free music can be considered meeting a student need, plus the disc jockeys will know they have a real audience out there. Again, I don't even know if here will ever be another Radio Club, but at this time last year the same was being said for the Collegian. Can you see if there is anyone interested in resurrecting the club? Marc Woytowich Office. They are looking for D.J.'s, engineers and news casters. Editor is getting so common in litcal emergency rooms that doctors now wear masks to match their suits. I can see the tourists promotion now: "Visit Painsillvania, the Tombstone State." In fact, I can predict the next deadly outbreak of a horrid disease. Smallpox? No, "Largepots." Potholes that is. The first symptom is sore feet from walking a lot because your car is in the shop getting a complete realignment. Other signs are asthma sounds from your tires along with a loss in their muscle tone. Also, there is a marked increase in politicians' absenteeism when approached on the subject. So, let's drink to our health and thank God he won't send us frogs and boils anymore. After all, the frogs moved to Florida, and the only boils are in pots in Albion, where tea time runs on overtime.

Helicopter Saturday was an ROTC activity. It consisted of a free helicopter ride provided by the Pittsburgh Army Reserve Unit, which did a fine job of explaining the Nursing continued from page 1 people were extremely pleased with Behrend graduates and a feud does not_ exist between Behrend and Hamot." In speaking with Behrend director Mr. Irwin Kochel, he revealed the importance Hamot once placed upon establishing an Associate Degree nursing program. Since the later 1960's Hamot nurses have been taking courses at Behrend. However, because of the many advances made in nursing since then, Hamot decided to phase out its Diploma program, and start the Associate Degree program. Mr. Kochel refuted the Hamot spokesman's claim of a low turnover of Behrend graduates. He guessed that approximately 95 percent of the nursing graduates eventually found jobs In the Erie community, .a rate much higher than that of the other local_colleges that offer Baccalaurate Degrees in nur sing. He reaffirmed Penn State's guarantee to graduate this year's freshman class and that in his opinion a continous flow of graduating nurses for the Erie area is "dependent upon Villa Maria."
