When you think of State College,
what comes to mind? For most
students it's either football games
and wild victory parties, or enor
mously-sized classes and being just
an ID number with no name. But to
a lot of Behrend students, it's a
combination of both.
"Should I stay at Behrend for
four years, or transfer to University
Park?" you ask.
Well, if you're asking yourself
this question, I've got some good
news for you. Feb. 17 Omicron
Delta Kappa (ODK) is sponsoring a
reception that can answer your
questions about transferring. The
reception will take place in the
Reed 2nd floor lobby from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. and is open to anyone in
terested. The reception is designed
to inform students of the four-year
programs availale here.

Opinions•expressed by the editors and staff of the Penn State-Sehrend Collegian are not necessarily
those of the University Administration, faculty, or the student body.
UP: the Mecca
of Penn Staters
Michael Chiteman, ODK Faculty
Secretary, about the reception and
their feelings about students staying
here for a full four-year program.
"A lot of people are coming here as
juniors and seniors from other
campuses or univerities;" said
Chiteman.
This has a lot to do with the fact
that Behrend now offers 25 dif
ferent majors in three different
divisions ranging from Accounting
to Chemistry or Political Science.
One concern students have about
their Behrend degrees is the head
ing on their diploma. According to
Chiteman, no matter what PSU
campus a student graduates from,
the main heading on the diploma
will read "The Pennsylvania State
University." If you're graduating
from Behrend, "The Behrend Col
lege" will appear below the PSU
main heading.

very pleased to be graduating from

Do you possess good leadership abilities? Would you like to possibly
receive money for those abilities? If so, and von are a full time student
in good academic standing, you may be eligible for the Edward P. &
Barbara F. Junker Scholarship. Mr. Junker, the Alumni Fellow,
donated $50,000 to Behrend and the interest from that money is being
used for the scholarship. The value of the scholarship is approximately
$5,000 and will be divided accordingly depending on the number of
students that apply and are chosen. The criteria are: the student must be
actively involved, show outstanding leadership, be in good academic
standing (2.0), and be returning to Bchrend for Fall Semester. Financial
need is not a consideration. Students coming to Behrend from other
commonwealth campuses can also be considered for the scholarship.
A scholarship committee will consist of two graduating students,
three faculty, and two staff members. The committee will review the
applications and decide on the number of recipients and consequently
the amount to be awarded. The applicants will be asked to interview
with a member of the committee and based on the interviews and the
applications, the final recipients will be chosen.
Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office and will con
sist of essay questions and questions dealing with the involvement of
the student. The deadline is March 15th and they can be submitted to
the Financial Aid Office. The winners will be notified by April Ist and
will be honored at the Honors and Awards Convocation, Sun. April 17.

the Accounting Department. I think
it would be a lot more difficult to
do things like that at UP; although
they (opportunities) are available,
you have a lot better chance of
doing it here," said Applegate.
Applegate and Chiteman noted
other advantages of staying at Be
hrend to complete programs of
study. In addition to location con
tinuity, Applegate added the issue
of the readjustment necessary when
transferring. Class sizes go down as
you climb up the class levels, Ap
plegate said, but he pointed out that
it's only relative; "the sizes go
down, but they may go down to 80
people," added Applegate.
Chiteman added that the oppor
tunity to work as an intern with
your professor is so much greater
(at Behrend), since competition is
less fierce. When there are several
hundred other students in your
major trying for the same inter
nship, it "makes you wonder what
your chances are," said Chiteman.
Applegate and Chitcman
strongly recommend attending the
Feb. 17 reception if transferring is
one of your concerns. •More infor
mation can be obtained from Ed
Applegate at 898-6912 or from
Michael Chiteman at 898-6260.
