Freshman Corner
by Michael Fekete
Freshman Senator
I would like to open by welcom
ing everyone to Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College. For those of
you who do not know me, I come
from Pittsburgh, and I, along with
Orlando Cruz,.will be representing
the 1987 - 1988 freshman class.
What this column will be geared
towards is to better inform you of
the important happenings on cam
pus. We, the senators, feel that is it
crucial to be able to give you as
much as we can to lielpyou unders
tand the workings of our school.
It's not very easy for people with
different backgrounds and values

go alone and follow well lit and
traveled paths, not short cuts.

to come together and mesh comfor

pretty new to us, and we are still
hesitant as to exactly what we can
achieve here at Behrend.
The up and coming year holds
many advantages for us as in
dividuals, and as a community, if
we work for it. We, the freshman
class, represent the largest class on
campus. But you know as well as I
do that our futures may change
somewhere down the road. But be
ing at Behrend this, year, we can
make our time here a positive
aspect in our experiences.
With the atmosphere that
Behrend College offers, much can
be achieved through unity. Doing
things as a class will create an en
participants. The program has
targeted vandelism and theft and
has been effective on other cam
puses in reducing incidences of
these crimes. A participant in the
Crime Watch program agrees only
to report suspicious activity or
crime to the Police. Physical con
frontations or following someone
is forbidden. The Behrend Crime
Watch program has six groups: one
for each residence hall, one for the
campus apartments, one for com
muter students, and one for faculty
and staff. Meetings with crime
prevention themes are held each
semster for each group, but atten
dance is voluntary.
The office for Police and Safety
Services is located in the South
Cottage and our telephone number
is 898 - 6101. We are a service
department. (Also, if you use a
vehicle on campus, you are re
quired to register it with us). If you
have any questions about our
department, don't hesitate to call.

I want to stress again the fact
that there is much here for us at
Behrend, such as the many ac
tivities that have been planned for
us. Academics are crucial, but col
lege students do not live on books
alone. It is the enrichment of our
social lives that niakes college
special. You meet fascinating peo
ple, learn new tricks, and IT'S

the American judicial system.
While in China, Redenius plans
to conduct research on either the
local court system or on university
governance. His choice of topics,
he admits, will be somewhat depen

"I'll have to depend on interiews
to accomplish research • because I
don't know Chinese. At least not
yet," said Redenius.
Although he plans to return to
Behrend in time for-the 1988 Spring
semester, he plans to first travel to
either Australia or New Zealand to
present papers at professional con
ferences and to continue his
research abroad.
