New Faculty
By Althea Hyatt
The "Collegiate! would like to
extend an overdue welcome 'to
Doctors James Bly and Miriam
Pastrick, who joined the com
munication faculty this past fall.
Dr. Bly, who received his doc
torate in English from the
University of Colorado, taught at
Tarkid" College" lafissburi for
seven years p rior to coming to
Behrend. He is the faculty ad
visor for the "Collegian" - and
teaches media writing and ad
vanced technical writing.
He has also taught at Augustina
College and Dakota State Col
lege, both of South Dakota. In ad
dition to his teaching and educa
tional background in writing, Dr.
Bly was a reporter for the
Associated Press for six years;
the latter three years he spent on
the foreign desk of the United Na
tions. Dr. Bly was also an infor
mation specialist with the U.S.
Army for two years in Germany.
Dr. Bly is in teaching because
he enjoys working with students.
Dr. Miriam Pastrick came to
Behrend from the University of
Denver where she completed her
doctorial work in speech com
munication on an academic
scholarship and teaching
fellowship. While at the Universi
ty of- Denver. she was also presi-
Dean Lilley Optimi
Behrend Future
In an interview with the Col
legian, Dean Lilley ria*med that
Behrend College is on-its way to
being a major influence in the
community, as far as becoming a
viable four-year school is
concerned.
"When I came to the Erie area
last year," Lilley said, "I was
told that Behrend is the best-kept
secret in Erie. It- was my job to
find out why, then make that
known to the public."
Lilley said that part -of the
secret concerned the attrac
tiveness' of the campus, and the
superb qualifications of the
Behrend teaching faculty.
Finance is another advantage, he
asserted. "We have the finest
quality at the cheapest prices,"
he said.
Lilley spoke of last year as be
ing a difficult transition period.
He had no personal staff, no
associate dean. "I didn't even
have a continuing secretary," he
told a Collegian reporter.
"This year we have the staff,'
he said. "I think you're going to
see us move ahead in a more
systematic fashion." Concerning
Behreitd's lack of public visibili
ty, the dean said, "If people don't
know who you are or what you're
doing, they don't know what you
can do for them."
Lilley referred to his -job as
"having a story to tell" about the
Behrend College. Not to belittle
his predecessors, the dean confid
ed that "Behrend has not been
very sophisticated ... or ag
gressive with telling our story.'
According to Lilley, this year
there have been more publica
tions, - more press releases and
press conferences than ever
before. As Dean of Behrend Col
lege, Lilley sees himself as being
a public relations ambassador to
draw attention to the "Behrend
story."
"The public identifies the per
son with the school," 'he said,
"Good public relations theory
suggests that I should be very
visible in the community and that
dent of the Graduate Student
Assobiation.
Prior to her association with
the University of Denver, Dr.
Pastrick taught at the Shenango
Valley Extension, and at Ken
nedy Christian High School of
Pennsylvania for thirteen years.
Dr. Pastrick, who is also a
member of the Order of St.
Benedict, has found students
at Behrend to be very interesting,
with a high level of interior
motivation:
BEHREND COLLEGIAN
c For
I should on every occasion talk
about Behrend and 'find my
ways'. I go, out of my way to do
that and I make a lot of speeches
to a lot of different
organizations."
Dean Lilley expressed con
fidence in the teaching staff, as
well as a high academic level for
the average student. He did con
sider lack of dorm space as a bot
tleneck to future growth, saying,
"That's our number one
headache," when asked about the
tight facilities.
E.R.I.E.
From Penn State Public Relations
Dean John M. Lillev announced
. the establishment of a research
center which will focus on topics
related to the economic develop
ment of northwestern
Pennsylvania.
The center, referred to as the
Economic Research Institute for
Erie (ERIE), will undertake ac
tivities that are of value to the
community and region.
Two major ,research thrusts
are envisioned for ERIE. - The
first is the collection, analysis, in
terpretation, and dissemination
of data and information on the
regional economy. A regional
economic information system
will be established to:
--monitor the region's
economic development;
—issue studies and reports on
the regional economy that arise
from local needs.
When and where appropriate,
sponsored research programs
aimed at evaluating particular
projects related to the region's
economy will also be undertaken.
The second major thrust of
ERIE, related to the first, is the
development of economic models
which will provide- the Erie
region's business and industrial
communities with timely and
useful information. These models
will enable the Institute to
forecast regional economic ac
tivity and to assess the impact of
a variety of actions on the
regional economy.
Dr. Barry R. Weller, as- • - Ate
professor of economics, will
serve as director of the Institute.
Dr. Weller's specialty is in the
area of economic forecasting:
In addition to-the director, an
Advisory Committee will be
formed to make suggestions
about the direction 'of the
Institute.
Advisory Committee member
ship will consist of the director,
dean, associate dean, and the
head of the•division of social and
