paper entitled, “The
Development of the

the research is to correlate
the quality of the Penn
sylvania Vidale 256 Wine,
which was evaluated by a
distinguished taste panel,
with its chemical profile.
Chisholm, along with col

Tempus Seeks Office Space
by Anne Waskowitz
Collegian Staff Writer
Tempus, Penn State-Behrend’s
literary magazine, has requested
office space from the Student
Government Association (SGA).
TtempusEditor, Ken Sonnenberg,
comments, “I feel that we have a
legitimate reason to ask for office
space.”
Tempus originated five years
ago and since its beginning they
have proven that the magazine
can be successful. “At the beginn-

stitution would allow for a more
cooperative effort. “It’s vital that
the SUB work together as a team
with the office of student ac
tivities. I’ve enjoyed working with
Jamie Grimm, Assistant Dean of
Student Affairs throughout this
year. She has enhanced the stu
dent activities program to an
enormous degree.”
When asked about his
qualifications for being Student
Union Board President, Saltzman

Disks purchased by the club last
year are available for sale at $2
each. Faculty members or
students wishing to buy a disk
should contact Kecia Conley at
the RUB desk or Keene Mainesdn
the Vets office (Student Affairs)!
Future plans for the dub fil-
ing of the year we were allocated
$7OO and have already doubled
the money,” says Sonnenberg.
Over 12 businesses have con
tributed to Tempus, so the budget
should exceed $1,900 by the end
of the school year.
“Tempus benefits the school
and gives the students something
extra to do,” says Sonnenberg.
Students can assist the Tem
pusstaff as co-curricular activity
with an option of one academic
credit.
If it is taken for credit, the
course is broken down into two
semesters. During the first
semester, students are graded on
how many sponsors they can get.
The second semester deals with
the layout of the magazine, and
collecting submissions.
Since Tempuscan be taken for a
credit and is published by a pro
fessional publisher, Sonnehburg
feels that, “The office space
would help us.”
Doug Gerow, Student Govern
ment Association president says
“Every organization would like to
have office space. There just isn’t
room for all of them.” With all of
the new buildings being put up, it
looks promising that Tempus and
other organizations may get office
space.
