Collegian Page 2 Metamorphasis by Michelle McClelland Collegian Staff Writer . What exactly is going to happen to the good old Reed Union Building? A lot more than you think. The metamorphasis has already begun with the construction of the new bookstore, which is expected to be completed by early summer. Also in the plans is new and bigger office space for student organizations, including the Students Government Association (SGA), the Collegian, the Yearbook ~.. and approximately 400 sq. ft. of studio space for WBCR. Additionally, there will be more study lounges, a counseling service center, and a greenhouse type lobby. The construction of the $lO million state-funded library will begin in the Spring of 'B9 and should take about 18 months to complete. Although not in the immediate Cessation Sessions New Year's resolutions arc often difficult to keep, but if giving up cigarettes was on your list, the American Lung Association Freedom From Smoking Clinic may help. The Clinic begins Tuesday, March 8, 1988 from 7:00 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. in the Reed Seminar Room. "Many people benefit from the group approach when trying to quit smoking," said Joy Greco, Director of Programs for the Lung Association and clinic leader. The clinic uses behavior modification techniques and the support of group discussion to make quitting a less stressful experience. From quit night on, participants are helped to launch and practice their new lifestyles as non-smokers. The seven session Freedom From Smoking Clinic is conducted on Tuesdays, except during "quit week" when an extra support session is held on Thursday evening. Quit night is slated for March 22. The fee for the Clinic is $35.00 per person. For more information, contact Patty Pasky at extension 6217. The clinic is open to all students, faculty and staff. Join the over 40,000,000 Americans who have quit smoking and help make Penn State-Behrend a smoke-free campus. Shattered remains of campus police car Politics and you by Brent Vernon Collegian Staff Writer Who are the Democratic candidates left in the race for the Presidency? In what ways are Bush's foreign policies different from Dole's? This is the beginning of election 88 and the race for the Presidency of the United States is well under way. These questions should not be too difficult to answer if one has picked up a newspaper lately or watched the evening news. But, if you want to be more politically aware, then the Political Awareness Club is for you. The Club's main purpose is oromoting political awareness and otking people involved. "It seems strange for a campus as diverse as t):3rs not to have a political awareness club," said Beth Buck, club president. Buck says that club members will have a chance to "see what is happening in the real world and not face a culture shock when leaving college." With the election of a new President next fall, the Political Awareness Club plans to have many activities related to the race. The club has already had a voter registration drive. Students will have another chance to register and ask questions about the process later this spring at a second drive. Other future activities may include and John Downey acted as temporary advisor. future, there will be an indoor walkway connecting the library to the Reed Union Building. Many students are concerned about the bookstore's construction preceding the library's. But them is a reason, which according to John Downey, Assistant to the Dean of Student Services, is monetary. "People are looking at why we are building a bookstore when we need a better equipped library. The reason is that the bookstore is a $1 million project, and the libarary is a $lO million project," said Downey. "It (the library) is so important that we are trying to do it right. $lO million projects take longer than $1 million projects. Five or six years down the road, you may be disappointed that you do not have as good a bookstore because you have all these new modem buildings," added Downey. Behrend is only 40 years old, and is rapidly growing. It takes time to make a college more than just classes and students, and now is the time that Behrend is taking. Why did Trenney, now the club's vice president, take an interest in the club? "There seems to be too much political apathy on campus," he said. "I have a deep interest in politics. I want a say in what will affect me in the future," he added. Membership is open to all students regardless of major or semester standing. The officers wish to express that the Political Awareness Club is not affiliated with any political party. Your views and opinions are welcome. The club meets every Monday in the Library conference room at 6:30 p.m. For more information contact Beth Buck at 899-6990 or Kevin Trenney at 898-6524.

After being dormant for two semesters, the club was reactivated by Kevin Trenney and Carl Dabler, ICC president. Trenney became interested in the club when Dabler announced that it might be terminated if no interest was shown. Both worked frantically late last semester to informally reorganize the club before new SGA constitution guidelines took effect. Dabler advised Trenney of the procedures to reorganize the club Standing Council Reports Joint Residence Council vrzcstit7zer Police Car by Maria Plaza Collegian Staff Writer Behrend police officer John Harrington paid a high price for a cup of coffee last Friday night— his cruis . er. The car was stolen when Harrington stopped at the Perkins Restaurant on Buffalo Road during his night campus patrol. It was found a few minutes later, wrecked in the yard of the Midway Inn about a quarter of a mile from Perkins. Police are still looking for the thief. They believe he may be seeking medical help, since he struck the windshield with his head, leaving hair and scalp fragments on the glass. He may have also sustained chest injuries. State police and Behrend reported that the cruiser hadn't been starting well, so Harrington left the motor running and locked the doors when he entered the restaurant. Unfortunately, the thief broke a window and unlocked a door from the inside. Troopers said the thief apparently failed to make a right turn onto Saltsman Road and struck a tree. The thief was described as a white male, about six feet tall with brown hair and in his late teens or early twenties_ Behrend security is using an unmarked car until the cruiser can be replaced. the Penn State-Behrend Collegian Editors Lisa Hahn, James Martin Copy Editor Darren Boyce Entertainment Editor Matthew Filippi Feature Editors Nan Quatchak Vail Weller Layout Editor Bill Warner News Editors Holly Lew Marla Plaza ~ Dave Bruce Sports Editors Steve Aller Terry Anthony David Bacon Denise Cutruzzula Carol Eck Robert Eggleston Darrell Freund Tammy Furyesz Jacqueline Gardiner . .

ROTC On the weekend of February 20-21, the Behrend Rangers once again demonstrated their strength, endurance, and stamina by braving the elements during the Winter Survival Exercise - Operation "Polar Glory." The Rangers assembled bright and early Saturday morning with all of their gear and equipment strapped to their backs, ready to travel through the woods. Upon reaching the desired site, the Rangers established a tactical patrol base where preparations were madefor a raid on an enemy stronghold. By moving stealthily through the woods, the Rangers surprised the opposing forces with an attack on the enemy compound. The Rangers displayed combat skill and proficiency in an ongoing sweep and destruction of the enemy objective. The purpose of the Winter Survival Exercise was more than just improving the Rangers' combat techniques. The Rangers also learned how to function in a cold weather environment by constructing snow shelters and cooking in an open field. By the end of the weekend, the Rangers may have been cold, tired, and dirty, but they had more than demonstrated Esprit de Corps. Student Programming by Harold G.
