by Barrett Parker
Collegian Staff Writer
In the Nov. 21 issue of the
Behrend Collegian, an article was
published about vandalism. In
that article, Dohn Harshbarger,
Dean of Student Affairs was in
correctly quoted as saying, “If
students want to be treated as
children, we can arrange that;
tighter controls on activities may
have to be imposed due to the
damage. (We hope) that students
want to be treated as adults.”
Jamie Grimm, Assistant Dean of
Student Affairs stated this.

Finals are here. ‘Tis the season
to be jolly, but there is nothing
cheerful or joyful about finals.
Like death, they are inevitable
and you have no choice in whether
or not you take them (unless you
can count passing or failing a
choice). However, you make take
some solace knowing that you
may receive a care package to help
ease the pain of finals.
Care packages are not new to

Harshbarger did have
something to say about the plague
of vandalism. “Most of the in
creased vandalism is in the Reed
Building. The residence hall
damage does not reflect an in
crease of damage. Last year was
the lowest level of vandalism,” he
continued, “and this year’s
figures are comparable to last
year’s at this same time in the
residence halls. It does not take
much to get up to $1,200 worth of
damage.”
When asked about curtailing
the current vandalism, Har

Letters are mailed home to
parents prior to finals and the

Clemans reports, “This semester
the response was even larger than

Keeping the Reed Building in

In closing, Harshbarger stated:

any student input, however, as to
ways of reducing the vandalism in
