On a recent trip to Washington
D.C., we had the good fortune to
catch up with some Behrend
alumni. We asked them what they
thought about Behrend's possible
break-away’from the Penn State
system. Here are their reactions.

look foward to arrival of
Julia Child.
Dobbins hall is buzzing at the
expected arrival of Julia Child.
Sources say Child, a world
renowned gourmet chef was hired
for the new chef/nutritionist
position. The University of Behrend
was able to attain Child because of
her great admiration for the school.
"Ever since Behrend seceded from
Penn State, I've been dying to get
in."

Why do you need to take English 015 or Math 005 this semester?
Why can't you get an exemption from the school so you don't have to
take. Physical Education? These questions can be answered by some of
the staff here at Behrend, and some times you end up running from
office to office. By coming to meet the "non-traditionar students that
make up the membership of TOTH you can, most generally, get first
hand, personal experiences to tell you what others have gone through so
you can make value judgements with a variety of information. What
post-high-school students need is not always what is needed by older
students. We all need to know how to get what we need to be the best
students we can be, even if we are aged between 23-50+. The big
adjustment of trying to return to the school environment needs all the
help from any source able to help.
Come to our meeting and find out what I mean. We can be
supportive or find support for those that need it. But there is always
the chance that you will be able to help us too, by bringing new and
fresh ideas and information. That's the big job we need to do, exchange
communication with other students just like us, the "non-traditional"
students here at Behrend. We can address issues that are not being
addressed anywhere else also. For instance, our committees are still
working for a DAY CARE not just for students, but for employees too.
This is something that is available at main campus and needs to be
available here at Behrend. We need to impress to the university
administrators of our "special" needs that are different that traditional
studentc nee ds. It would be great to show them that we are united and
serious.
Our seriousness in reaching our goals is one thing we can show to
other students. This is one of our brightest assets, and the college
knows it. We are a contributing role-model-image to the younger
students, whether we want to or not Our experiences in life could be
that basis of a rap session, if any interest is shown. We need to have
new ideas about where to hang our "Message board” so we can leave
messages for each other, and Yes, we still need a special area or lounge
type room to help us pass the long hours on campus that are required
by our many miles of commuting and widely-spaced class hours.
Come and join us every other Thursday at Noon in Reed 116. For
more information call Tom 456-8387 or Marlynn at 825-3980.

"It's wonderful... I only wish it
happened while I was a student
there. My days as a Behrend
cheerleader are my most happy
memories. I commend the
administration for its brave
stand... This is a glorious day in
the history of Behrend Collcge-
Ooops- I mean Behrend
University!"
In expectation of her arrival, the
staff at Dobbins has been reading
her cookbooks in an attmept to
acclimate themselves to her
cooking techniques. Child is
expected to start April Ist and is
"thrilled to cook." We'll all be
looking foward to her satisfying
creations.

"When I rccieved a call from
Brice Jordan, explaining the
Behrend secession, I was
shocked—dumbfoundcd is a better
word. It's ridiculous, she'll never
survive. I am categorically,
theoretically and morally opposed
to the idea!"

"...Il's horrendous...what about
the students there now? Will they
be Penn State or Behrend? I agree
Behrend is a good college, I
enjoyed my first two years there
tremendously. If it wasn’t for
WBCR I don't know where I'd be
today. I also enjoyed U.P., the
change was very appealing. I
definitely think it’s a mistake.”

"I think it's about time... I
remember imploring Mary and
Ernst Behrend that I thought it
was a mistake to join the Penn
State system. I also wrote many
articles to that effect while I was
editor of the Collegian.”

"N0...1 can't believe it! That’s
wonderful. I always said Behrend
was the jewel in the Penn State
crown. I’d like to give my sincere
congratulations to all the students,
of Behrend on this momentous
occassion.”
GOODMAN cont'd
"jettison their family lives.”
While Ellen Goodman does
frequently deal with national
politics in her column, it was not a
primary topic in her lecture.
Observers often point out that her
focus is part of what makes her
unique as a columnist. Whereas
most syndicated columnists deal
mainly with current news events
and political issues, Goodman is
not afraid to dive headfirst into
social issues that few others dare to
tackle. "Sometimes I write what I
call 'social work columns....thc kind
of thing I write about because it
needs written and nobody else is
going to do it," said Goodman.
. Though Eller. Goodman dealt
mostly with the changes that
women have realized, she is not at
all unsympathetic to the problems
of the modern male. "The
expectations have risen for men as
well, she noted, pointing out that
today's man is expected to be
strong, but not silent, sensitive and,
"able to leap tall emotional
buildings in a single bound."
