fall semester
by Barbra Kimmy
Collegian Staff Writer
The Student Government
Association held its first meeting
on Aug. 27. Discussed at the
meeting were three upcoming
events to be held this month.
A concert provided by the
University Concert Committee
will feature the KINKS and will be
staged on the 15th at University
Park. Tickets were sold on the
6th.
Also held at University Park is
“All University Day” which gives
students the opportunity to see the
Nittany Lions football team take
on East Carolina. There was the
possibility that SGA will sponsor
a chartered bus to take students to
this event. However, after later
Computer Center ready for use
continued from page one
by the Computer Equipment En
dowment Fund from General
Electric. A sum of 45 to 50 thou
sand dollars is being used to pur
chase the order. With this pur
chase, the total amount of equip

hundred thousand dollars.

discussion, the Student Services
Committee decided against the
idea due to high costs.
The final event will be a student
poll taken either during the last
week in September or the' first
week in October concerning
whether or not the University
should divest its funds involved in
South Africa. Video tapes will be
shown to inform students more
about this issue.
SGA also announced that there
are two openings offered to
freshman on the Senate. Students
picked up petitions on Sept. 4 and
the voting will take place on Sept.
14.
During this meeting, President
of Commuter Council, Bryan
Schuster, expressed his concern
immediately after it is received,
which' should be approximately
October 1. The users of the new
equipment will be primarily ad
vanced and graduate students.
Security measures will be taken to
fasten the computers down and
devices will be installed to insure
protection of the equipment.
George Dudas acts as coordinator
of the computer center.
about the parking fee require
ment. He brought up the question
of why Behrend Campus unlike
other campuses didn’t eliminate
the parking fee and instead raise
the tuition. Dean of Student Af
fairs, Dohn Harshbarger
answered, “Behrend College
along with University Park, and
Capitol Campus has such a high
percentage of dorm students that
raising the tuition wouldn’t be fair
because the majority of them do
not have motor vehicles.’’
Students should be aware of this'
and realize that strict ticketing will
begin in the near future.
There is a chance that a new
club will be added to the SGA.
The ‘Behrend Film Production
Club’ will familiarize students
who are interested in communica-
tions and the stages of film pro
duction and also provide the stu
dent body with an additional ac
tivity. As discussion of this new
club is pending, a decision will not
be reached until the conlusion of
the SGA’s Sept. 11 meeting.
Doug Gerow, SGA President
appointed members of the
organization to their different
positions and committees.
SGA hoids meetings on
Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in the Reed
Seminar Room. All are welcome
to attend.
