Part Time vs. Full Time
As a small college that of
fers its students numerous
opportunities, part-time in
structors as viewed by
Behrend students are not a
part of the “Behrend Ex
perience.” Four Behrend
students were asked:
“What is your opinion
about part-time instructors
at Behrend College?” Here
are their answers:
THOMAS HICKS -
Eighth Semester, Political
Science.
“I think that the pro
fessors don’t get any less
respect than any full-time
professor. Some of them
don’t go through enough
preparation and they also
don’t know all of the “ins
and outs” or the little ex
tras that add to the learning
process.
Also, by having part-time
professors, the students
find about things that they
should have known about
before. However, in spite of
the part-time professors

Behrend Cultural Fund will spon
sor a reading by Alicia Ostriker.
Ostriker has written a number of
books of poetry and literary
criticism, including A Woman
Under the Surface (Princeton,
1983) and Writing Like a
Woman (University of Michigan
Press, 1982). Ostriker is the
editor of the Penguin Books edi
tion of the William Blake’s
Poetry, and she teaches at Rutgers
University.
The Mary Behrend Cultural
Fund will sponsor a poetry
reading and discussion on the arts
in Erie, with local poets Lonnie
Sherman and Rick Lopez. Sher
lack of being able to com
municate evenly effective
with the students as any
other full-time professors,
the quality of the pro
fessors work could be just
as good.”
STEVE GALICH - Third
Semester, Psychology.
“It’s good and we can
weed out the good pro
fessors because of the
variety. In the longrun,
their inaccessability
becomes a problem! The
reason for choosing a small
college such as Behrend is
to have a one-to-one rela
tionship with the pro
fessors, and if the professor
is part-time this is difficult
for students, especially for
those that have problems.
However, if the courses
taught by the part-time pro
fessors are offered every
other year or semester, it
might not hurt too much.” .

man and Lopez are with
“Clayspace” in Erie, and work in
conjunction with the Erie Art
Museum. Both are active in per
formance arts in Erie and are con
tributors to Erie’s poetry journal,
Kangaroo Court . Sherman and
Lopez will make an appearance in
Dr. George’s English class, In
troduction to Poetry, one Tues
day or Thursday in early Nov. at 1
p.m. All members of the Behrend
community are welcome to at
tend.

any of the readings contact Diana
Hume George or the Roundtable

“My experience with
part-time faculty has been
mediocre. Often the pro
fessor isn’t a teacher by
profession and often has a
hard time relating the
material. They are also very
inaccessible.”
KEVIN MOORE -
Seventh Semester, Com
munication.
“One of the biggest
drawbacks of part-time
faculty is that you can’t
develop a rapport with a
particular faculty member.
Being a Communications
Major, I am not exposed to
many part-time faculty.
The majority of the people
lie in Engineering and that
doesn’t affect me. I have
developed a good friend
ship with several faculty
and found it one of the ma
jor benefits of Penn State-
Behrend. Keep the full
time!”

“Wee People” Bring Halloween
Spirit to Campus
by Jill Bedford
Collegian Staff Writer
Residence Hall occupants were
not excluded from Halloween
festivities this year thanks to the
“Wee People’s Halloween Par
ty.” Approximately 35 children
of faculty members in addition to
children from the Gertrude
Barber Center participated.
Members of Lambda Sigma,
JRC, and resident students dress-
ed in costumes escorted the
children throughout each
residence hall to collect Hallo
ween treats. Resident hall students
provided candy for the children
and decorated their doors with
special “trick-or-treat” signs sup
plied by the staff.
Following trick-or-treating, the
children were invited to Lawrence
Hall lobby for a Wee People’s

Sigma and JRC. They were serv

and played games with a Hallo
ween theme, such as ‘Pin-the-

The children had a great time as
did the college students. It just
goes to show, you’re never too old
for Halloween.
