Coffee with the Provo
by Kristin Delovchrz
Collegian Staff Writer
As I slowly edged my way
through the half closed door, I
realized that the Coffee With the
Provost had already begun. I per
ched myself onto the table in the
far corner and began to listen to
what was going on. .
To my amazement, this meeting
was nothing like I had expected. To
be honest, I thought this would be
the type of thing where we listened
while he talked. Never have I been
so surprised. Not only was this
meeting informative, but it was
also flin.
The discussion began with
highlights of Behrend's latest
renovations. The new apartments

out how people really felt about this type of ad. We asked people what
for the upper classmen started up
the conversation. Nothing but
good things were said about the
new addition to the campus.
Another event that received adula
tion was the leadership retreat.
Congratulations to John Downey
and all involved for a job well
done. A newly paved parking lot,
added playing fields, and renova
tions to the theater and Turnbull
building finished off the positive
part of the discussion.
Next on the agenda, was Dean
Lilley's plan to have a $lO million
combination Library, Quad and
Fitness Center constructed. The ac
tual date for completion is still
unknown, but the project is receiv
ing highest priority. Dean Lilley
also added that observatories will
not be part of the new building.
Jason Spi

play."
The purpose for this being able to
get maximum use out of the new
library and easy expansion in the
future.
Finally, freshman Andrew Festa
brought up a very important sub
ject. He commented on the majori
ty of faculty involvement among
the students. Faculty involvement
with clubs and organizations here
at Behrend; -is much appreciated.
Dean Lilley. replied, "That's the
reason for coming to a small
school. You get to know faculty
both in and out of the classroom."
Keeping on the subject of
Behrend's size, another freshman
noted that Behrend is like a com
munity in itself. Many students ex
pect to be swallowed up by the fact
that this is Penn State. That is not
the case at Behrend. "This is a
small college with a big degree,"
replied the Dean. "If we could only
find a way to market that." he add
ed. The quote "Big enough to fill
your need, small enough to know
you" pleased Dean Lilley. Who
knows, maybe Behrend will have
its own motto in the future.
Though no one wants to admit
it, there are a few problems here at
Behrend. Problems that Dean
Lilley was not afraid to deal with.
Surprisingly, there were not many
to discuss. - A few commuters did
have some comments. I, being a
commuter myself, understood
completely. With the crazy bus
schedules and scarcity of rides, it is
somewhat difficult for commuters
to get back on campus once they
leave. A major complaint was the
fact that most of the activities took
place after class hours. Even a
more surprising fact that the com
muters who were unhappy were
also those who were unaware of the
group called Commuter Council.
This group is lead by Steve
McGarvey and John Downey. The
purpose of the Council is to ensure
commuters every opportunity
available to residents. The group
meets every Tuesday at 12:15 in the
Reed Activities Building and new
members are encouraged. Dean
Lilley's response to this was to be
expected. He assured us that most
of the campus is commuters and
they are as much of Behrend Col
lege as anyone.
As the meeting came to a close, I
was shocked to see that I had been
in that room for over an hour. As I
said earlier, I really enjoyed it. It
gave me the chance to see that
Dean Lilley is a man who cares
about how his students feel. He
wants to hear your complaints and
try to do something about them. I
urge everyone to attend one of
these meetings at least once. I know
I'll -be there again.

Jacquie Graham, sth semester,
—IS—"I think the ad is a good idea
because nowadays on campus with
all the different parties going on
and all the people getting drunk,
it's nice to know that somebody is
taking time out to make sure that
people are safe in what they do and
are concerned about what they do.
This is saying that they know what
goes on here, but to the ones who
are being more careful about it,
there is more to it than saying well
she should get on the pill and she
should do this and she should do
that. This is showing the man has
to take some initiative in it too. I
think this is a very good ad because
It's to show men that they need to
be more responsible in their
activities."
