news Seminar to help Increase the Understanding Alzheimer's Disease University Relations—More and more people are being diagnosed as victims of Alzheimer's Disease. Health care professionals face the challenge of helping these patients and their families come to terms with the often-fatal illness. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, Penn State-Behrend's Division of Conti nuing education will sponsor "Perspectives on Alzheimer's Disease," a one-day seminar designed to help health care profes sionals help others deal with the impact of the disease while science searches for a cure. The seminar, which is offered from 8:30-5:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn South, will offer participants a better understanding of the physiological, psychological and sociological changes that occur when Alzheimer's disease strikes, and the impact of these changes on the individual and the family. Led by Sharon Telban, assistant professor of the department of nur sing at Wilkes College and an ex- Alumni Heynes: The civil action deals with the constitutionality of what is going on in this case. The criminal action has to do with (our) "criminal" activity in registering people in a public waiting area. We weren't in offices disrupting business. As a matter of fact, the directive indicates that only official Commonwealth business takes place. Voter registration falls under the Secretary of the Com monwealth. The forms we were us ing were paid for and postage of this government. There was no political literature dispersed. We were dealing with official registra tion forms only. Biggie: The founding fathers of our country came up with a framework to live by and called it a Constitution of these United States, it being the highest law in the land. Then they decided that it needed a little fine tuning, and the very first thing that they saw that needed to be reinforced and made very strong was the right to freedom of speech and the right to assembly. The 1984 restraining order against Thornburgh stated that "plaintiffs will suffer im mediate and irreparable harm to their Ist Amendment constitutional rights of speech, association, and assembly, if their voter registration activities are not resumed im mediately ... denial of access to (these) waiting rooms is a violation of thelst and the 14th Amendment rights." --Dick Thornburgh, for all prac tical purposes, is in contempt of court, the court that issued the tem porary restraining order on him back in 1984. We just went there because Dick Thornburgh does not override the U.S. Constitution. --To the best of my knowledge, Chuck and I happen to be the se cond and third political prisoners in this country, for (performing) voter registration. —As we were being whisked off (in the state police car), a reporter stuck the microphone in and asked pert on aging, the seminar will also uncover the latest alternatives and future possibilities in the care of Alzheimer's victims. Participants in the seminar will receive Continuing Education credit and a certificate verifying their completion of the program. Nursing home administrators and national certified counselors from Pennsylvania and Ohio will receive seven hours credit for completion of the seminar through the Na tional Board of Certified Counselors (N.8.C.C.). While the program will attract nursing staff, counselors and nurs ing home administrators because of its subject and credit offerings, it will also help family members whose relatives are Alzheimer's victims. Cost of the seminar is 575 for nursing home administrators, 545 for all other participants.

I said all that I can see is that I must have been registering the wrong people to vote. Heynes: (Concerning the attitude of the elected officials who say they should fight the issue in court:) This can't be done because there is, for one, inconsistency in the offices throughout the Commonwealth. Secondly, you can't fight something unless it is enforced. It is just disgraceful that somebody would enforce something that was bound to be unconstitutional. "Chuck and I happen to be the second and third political prisoners in this country." Biggie: Chuck and I were ar rested but we were not arrested for breaking any law at all. We were arrested for defying the audacity of the governor to actually try to en force this (directive). —Greg Patterson, one of the state troopers who arrested us, was interviewed on the news on two sta tions. And two times I heard him say the same thing; he said that they were not arrested for register ing voters, they were arrested for violating a Commonwealth direc tive which specifically prohibits handing out campaign literature. Because of that, people who initial ly were going to also join in on the suit decided not to because that made it sound like we were being partisan. We are not partisan. —We are going back to the Federal court with the issue.

Twenty new ROTC and non-ROTC members were present. They were instructed on how to use the range, the weapons, and the scoring systems. By the end of the session, even peo ple who had never shot before were Attention club presidents: Let the Collegian hear from you today! The Academic Admissions Co recruits prospective high school by Barb Byers Collegian Staff Writer The Academic Admissions Com mittee (ACC) is a new organization at Behrend that consists of Penn State alumni who are concerned with recruiting prospective high school students into the Penn State system. Prior to the formation of the AAC here last Spring, the AAC. worked outside of Pennsylvania, and had a very successful recruit ment program. Because of this suc cess and the fact that the college age population is decreasing, Penn State was prompted to bring the AAC program within Penn sylvania. The alumni are working toward "Yield Enhancement" for Penn State, said Martha Songer, Director of Public Relations at Behrend.

They were dressed mostly in battle dress uniforms, and load carrying equip ment. After being briefed in the night's activities, the trainees filed through the woods to the top of the Behrend hill. They were given a class on the warning order by Cadet Sergeant First Class Gebhardt, and another on the operations order by Cadet Lieute- hitting in the 10 ring of the target. The members used 22 caliber rifles and shot at NRA targets. The targets were analyzed and a short business meeting was conducted. The Rifile Club is open to all Behrend full-time students who have a desire to shoot competitive ly, to learn to use the weapons for safety or to sharpen their skills prior to hunting season. will try to maximize the number of freshmen in the future, she said. "The AAC is in-state now," Songer said, "because students are harder and harder to get. The Baby Boomers have gone through (college) and it will be a long time before we see a boom in traditional 18-year-old students again." Jim DiCara, Marketing Ad ministrator with IBM and a former Behrend student, is the leader of the Behrend AAC. "The key issue is that fewer and fewer students are graduating," and therefore the AAC "wants to meet the challenge head on, before it becomes more of a challenge," DiCara said.

Cadet Sergeants Audette and Lippert taught reac tion to flares, and Cadet LT Anderson taught a class in move ment during direct and indirect fire, using the high crawl, low crawl, and three second rush. The trainees were given a chance to practice the skills they had learned using rubber M-16 rifles. Then they broke up into three squads and travelled down the hill as the in structors simulated air and ground flares. The meeting closed with the motivational exercises that are typical of this club, push-ups. Scuba club by Lori Beals Collegian Staff Writer The Scuba Club has been very active to date. They have been to Lakes Pleasants and Chatauqua in the last two weeks. Although many of the dives have been for certifica tion, the divers have been busy bot tle searching and have found several over fifty years old. Addi tionally, they have found two large canoes which were abandoned and rotting on the lake bottom. Several of the divers tried to log these dives as their first wreck dives. Members of the dives were Greggard Dober, said, "One example of this is the Freshmen Testing, Counseling and Advising Program (FTCAP). One way that the Behrend AAC is conti nuing this concern is through its First major 'project,' a Career Fair." The primary goal of the Career Fair is not to recruit students to Penn State, although that is a side objective, but to get . students to look seriously at various careers and professions. The first Career Fair will be held October 1 at Cathedral Prep High School in Erie, and will be for all interested seniors there. This location is par ticularly important for the Behrend AAC because traditionally, Cathedral Prep seniors have chosen Gannon University over Behrend for their college education.

Students will get a chance to be matched up, either "major-major or career-career", with these professionals, for a real view of how these successful people got there and what it took to do it-. Among. the AAC members preseri will be Judge Michael Joyce, one of the first Behrend four-year alumni; who will be speaking about the United States Court System.
