This growth has prompted the center to find easily accessible facilities at which tutoring can be offered. Students may receive help in the computer sciences and the money put into military spending. Much of the money comes directly from funding for student aid. This is totally unfair to students who are denied an education because they cannot af ford one."

BEHREND COLLEGIAN NEWS Behrend's Dr. Zachary Irwin stated, "Political campaigning is a form of political education. People attending is one important way to learn issues that have a ter rific beating on our lives." In the past, student voter tur nout has been very low. Students should realize that because of their number (2,200 at Behrend alone) they do have the strength to actively voice their opinions.

He earned his graduate degree at Penn State University. Anyone interested in James Joyce should be aware that Dr. Loss will be instructing a course on Joyce, Modern British Fiction (Elish 475) this spring.
