Letter to the editor
Dear Editor
I am writing in reference to the
article in the Oct. 9 issue of
the Collegian entitled "Cub Year
book Put On The Shelf" by Bar
bara Byers. I am, as noted in the
article, one of the ads people for
last year's Cub Yearbook. I find
the remark "The yearbook's
failure was due to lack of interest
specifically with the two ads peo
ple," questionable.
Beth Anderson, Cub Yearbook
editor, Pam Dunlap, the other ads
person, and myself were roommates
last year. In my opinion, when a per
son takes on the responsibility of
Editor, some time and effort need to
be put aside for organiza
tion. There were many times when
appointments had to be cancelled,
and questions went unanswered.
Also, group pictures, specifically
the apartment photographs, were
taken by myself with a KODAK
110, simply because the yearbook
photographers were not informed
and the editor was home for the
weekend. The actual amount of
work that was done by Parh and
myself went unrecognized.
Soliciting ads is not as easy as
one may think. Although only $ll5

gained and resolved at this conven
tion. Behrend's 'chapter, Alpha
was deposited, there were many ads
that had been placed but not col
lected. Were we still to collect
money for a non-existant
yearbook?
Throughout the year, I
remember three meetings called.
Deadlines came and went without
any preparation or acknowledg
ment. In order to produce a suc
cessful yearbook, many hours of
work are needed. Staff members
were assigned jobs, yet they were
never completed. Only fifteen
pages were turned in to the
publisher. I do not actually believe
that the remaining pages were sup
posed to be filled with
advertisements.
"No ads, no money, no year
book?" The Cub Yearbook did in
fact have the money needed to
publish. Student Government bail
ed them out of previous debts left
from the 1984-85 year, in addition
to allotting them the sum of 51056
for last year's publication. Money
was not the factor which held the
yearbook back. It was the lack of
leadership, organization,
knowledge, guidance, and interest.
I do not blame the entire failure
on Beth, although I do believe that,

Career Fair sponsored

The Behrend Alumni Admis
sions Committe was responsible for
a local career fair for high school
students at Cathedral Prep. on Oc

had the opportunity to choose
from three different career
seminars. Each career was
represented by a different Penn
State alumn. The career areas
represented were: Banking and
Finance, Business Administration,
Computer Science, Communica
tion, Legal, Engineering, Architec
ture, Medicine, Physical Therapy,
Law Enforcement, Sales and
Marketing and Vocations.

sibility for the club. Afterall,
should the low man on the totem
pole be blamed because the real
underlying problems were much

I sincerely hope in the future, a
knowledgeable, experienced and
enthusiastic staff will be organized
to produce a yearbook that won't
go unnoticed or unpublished.

Cathedral Prep., Jim Dicara, the
leader of the Behrend Admissions
Committee, and many volunteer
committe members organized the
career fair. There were two major
goals set up for the career fair; to
'enhance admissions activity at
Behrend College, and secondly, to
present the students with a realistic
and enlightening view of what cer
tain careers entail. By providing
this knowledge, and utilizing their
resources, the Admissions Corn
mitte hoped to help the students
make wise decisions concerning
their college majors and future
career options.
Enrollment record set
by Suzanne Segal
Collegian Staff Writer
Since the fall of 1976, Behrend's
total enrollment has grown from
1646 students to 2376 as of this fall.
Behrend is not only gaining more
students, but expanding as a col
lege as well--it is not any longer
simply a stepping stone to Universi
ty Park, but its own four year
college
The total number of Behrend
majors in 1977 was only 12, and
were mostly liberal arts. Now
Behrend has 25 of its own majors
including majors in business,
science, and liberal arts. This fact is
beginning to . dramatically change
the makeup of the Behrend popula-
tion. Because of the addition of
more majors, there are 446 juniors,
and seniors plus 100 graduate
students on campus this fall. This
means more graduate faculty on
the staff, changes in student leader
ship, and social life and activities.
The most obvious results of this
growth can be seen in the construc-

the Editor holding final responsibility.

Letters Policy: The Behrend Collegian
encourages comments on news
coverage, editorial policy and Univer
sity affairs. Letters should be
typewritten, double-spaced, signed by
no more than two people, and not
longer than 400 words. Students' let
ters should include the semester and
major of the writer. Letters from
alumni should include the major and
year of graduation of the writer. All
writers should provide their address
and phone number for verification of
the letter. The Collegian reserves the
right to edit letters for length, and to
reject letters if they are libelous or do
not conform to standards of good

stated. "If the reporter is one

it's 12:30 and it's too late for us to

Blood drive planned
by Lisa Hahn
Collegian Staff Writer
The Behrend Blood Drive will be
held on November sth and 6th
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Reed
TV lounge. It is sponsored by the
Residence Assistants with the Erie
Community Blood Bank providing
all of the necessary equipment.
They will also have sweet stuff for
after the blood is taken to give the
donors back their energy. Behrend
held the first mass blood drive two
years ago and it has been a sucess
so far. Hopefully this year will be
even better.
Last year an incentive called the- -
Blood Drive Competition was
started to try and raise the number
of people donating blood to sup
port the school. Behrend, along
with- Gannon University, Mer
cyhurst College, and Villa Maria
College all competed against each
other to try and win the trophy.
The school with the highest percen
tage of donors wins and last year
Behrend won. Behrend College,
85-86, was engraved in the trophy
and Behrend has held this trophy
for one year. Now it is time again
for Behrend to be challenged. This
year, in addition to the school com

On the average, sixty units of
blood are needed every day. which
amounts to about 1,500 units a
month. Unfortunately the Erie
Community Blood Bank never
receives this amount and that is
why the mass blood drives areiteld.
Many people can give blood, and
don't, for reasons like being scared
of needles or being afraid of` con
tracting AIDS. The AIDS rear is
misguided because a new needle is
used each time and everything. used
on the donor, is disposed of after
wards. Also before and blo.bd is
given out to anyone, a number of
tests are run to check for diseases.
These tests include checking for
venereal diseases, hepatitis;:' the
AIDS antibody, and any other an
tibodies that might be preseitt. It
takes about two days to peiform
these tests and that is another
reason why extra blood is needed
on hand. It is - obvious that givin g
blood is a safe process, and:pore
people should be persuaded:to - help
out. ' '
Two . weeks prior to the blood
drive, students will be able to
register in the Reed Building and
literature will be handed out on giv
ing blood. Alio': on November
fourth a doctor will be coming to
Behrend to talk about the AIDS
virus and to clear up any uncertain
ty in regard to giVing blood. If you
