Mercyhurst, and for a year and a
half at St. Vincent College in

to graduate school at Indiana

Behrend was the third stop for
Dr. Mel Klein, Director of Student
Activities at University Park, on a
six-stop travel to a number of the
commonwealth campuses. Acting
also as Director of Unions, Dr.
Klein and his office have the
responsibility of helping the, 402
clubs and greek letter organizations
at University Park with their finan
cial programming along with ar
ranging student activities. To top
off his repetoire of responsibilities,
he is also the associate head of the
Division of Student Programming,
an "umbrella division within the
office of student services" which
oversees all student organization
needs and University facilities.
Anticipating questions as to the
reason for his visit to Behrend and
other Penn State campuses, Dr.
Klein clarified his purposes to the
random mix of about 20 club
soon occupy the building.
John Ream, Director of Opera
tions, said that "with the creation
of the School of Business, we felt it
would be better for its faculty to be
in Turnbull because they have
fewer faculty members than the
Humanities. Also, the business
faculty expressed some concern
about their location after the
restructure of the division. The
business faculty felt a need to cen
tralize after the reorganization,
because otherwise they would have
been scattered all over campus."
Now the Division of Human and
Social Sciences offices are in the
new South Carriage House Annex,
the West Carriage House and the
Carriage House. Some people are
happy about this move, while
others express some concern.
Diana Hume George, Full Pro
fessor of English, said, "In some
respects, this step is an improve
ment in circumstances for in
- dividual faculty members. These
new offices are...private, and a few
faculty members previously had to
share office space.... With all this
taken into consideration," George

orientation, open houses, and
special events related to admis

Behrend for high school students
during the summer. When asked if
she enjoyed the job, she said that
"so far, it's very nice. I found the
people outstanding."
Ms. Bailey liked Erie because she
lived here before, and she decided
to come to Behrend because she
"felt it was an excellent opportuni

stated that she liked being part of

yes, but it afforded a central
meeting location for faculty and
students to talk, gather informally,
exchange ideas, be together— and
that's how a lot of the most impor
tant learning takes place."
On the other hand, Dr. Daniel
Frankforter, History Professor,
thinks that the move is a positive
one. "I really like the new offices,"
he said, "they offer more privacy
for the faculty as well as for the
students when they want to discuss
any problems they may be
having."
"There are some inconve
niences," Frankforter added,
"particularly that there is no runn
ing water and no bathrooms, but
basically I like it here."
As far as plumbing facilities are
concerned John Ream said that
"there was just no practical way to
provide water to the annex."
Linda Ditrich, a non-traditional
4th semester English major, thinks
that perhaps the Humanities divi

• Ms. Bailey says she enjoys being
the Director of Admissions because
she likes "to deal with high school
students" and also people in the 18
to 25 year age group. "They are
what's happening, they help keep
you young." She also said that she
likes being able to show young peo

she would welcome the chance to

Turnbull Hall, and also after I saw
the discouraging lack of literature
courses offered in the spring, just
what the fate of the Humanities (at
Behrend) will be," Ditrich said.
Janet O'Hare, a senior com
munications major, believes the
move may have "devalued the
Liberal Arts program here. It
doesn't bother me that much per
sonally," O'Hare said, "because I
will graduate in May; but I really
think it takes something away from
the appeal of the Humanities
Division."
Although the new Humanities
Department locations are referred
to as "temporary," they actually
are permanent facilities. "Calling
the new offices `-temporary',"
Ream said, "refers to the idea that
they could have been two trailrs or
pre-built buildings. These are here
to stay, even though water will not
be available up there."
Turnbull Hall is in the planning
stages of renovation, Ream said,
and construction is tentatively
scheduled to begin during the spr

completed by Fall 1987.
