OCTOBER 7, 1981 Between Class Blues Dutifully, as a first-term freshman, I spent my free time between classes indulging myself in my studies. Once the "honeymoon ad justment period" wore off, I had to utilize all of my resources to develop new ways to occupy my time. I decided it would be wise to observe upperclassmen and it prov ed to be very interesting and informative; my results are as follows: Many students spend much of their free time between classes either sleeping or eating. Even I fell prey to this vicious cycle. The eat/sleep syndrome is known to foster student apathy. A study of laboratory college students warns that excessive sleeping or eating may be hazardous to one's health. After gorging themselves, many people plop themselves lifeless ly into a chair to watch the next, exciting episodes of "The Love Boat" and "The New Price is Right." The intellectually elite prefer to utilize their time discussing rele vant issues 'of the day, such as, what REALLY went on between Luke and Laura while they were stranded on Miko's island: and what fascinating and intellectually stimulating person will be featured on "That's Incredible." To conclude, it is the excessive eating/sleeping between classes that can be detrimental to one's physical and mental well-being. The casual snacker and napper poses no real threat to modern society. COVE Volunteers The Council on Volunteers for Erie County (COVE) is in need of students looking for practical work experience as well as per sonal satisfaction. Mary Ellen Camp, director of volunters at COVE, said recently that there are many benefits for student volunteers. "COVE _offers opportunities for work in almost any field. The stu dent can choose the kind of work he wants, name his own hours, and plan his own schedule. "In return for the time donated," Camp said, "the stu dent receives valuable training, a chance to explore potential careers, references for future jobs, a sense of fulfillment at hav ing helped someone less for tunate, and in many cases college credits." When asked if he would recom mend students to join in volunteer work, Robert Schenker, Records Officer at Behrend College answered, "definitely." Schenker said, "Volunteer offers a learning ex perience that's different from the classroom. It offers practical ex perience gives the student an opportunity to learn about fund raising, management, and social skills." Schenker said, 'Volunteer ser vice provides a change of pace from the academic world and gives a feeling of accomplish ment to the student." When asked if a student could earn credits for volunteer work, Schenker said that credits are given to psychology and political science majors at Behrend who participate in community services. Almost all departments will give independent study credits for volunteer work that provides a meaningful learning ex perience. Students wishing to earn such credits should talk to their advisors. Although it doesn't happen often, volunteer work can sometimes lead to paid employ ment as it did with Behrend students Chris Papas, Brian Mar tin, and Peg Martin, all-of whom work part-time at agencies fund ed by United Way, Anyone interested in finding out more about volunteering should call Mary Ellen Camp at 456-6248. COVE is a division of United Way of Erie County. by Margie Reiser "WE'VE GOT A DATE NOV. 19 th: "That's when the American Cancer Society asks every smoker in America to give up cigarettes for a day.
