Amnesty International
by Darren Boyce
Recently, the local Amnesty International group on campus wrote
Pakistan, asking for an appeal on the death sentence passed on
Mohammad Azeem. Azeem, under a sentence of death for murder and
robbery, was 12 years old when the crime in which he and nine others
were convicted for took place. In Pakistan's First Information Report
(the report of an offense registered with the police, on the basis of
which police investigations arc initiated) describing the robbery, no
reference was made to a young boy being involved in the offense. The
murder and robbery took place in October of 1984. Amnesty wrote
President Mohammad Zia-ul Haq and Chief Minister Ghaus All Shah,
expressing their concern about the death penalty being administered to
people under 18 un.i i«gcd for the commutation of the death sentence
passed on Azeem.

Room. Elections for next year's officers will be taking place on April

On the 17th of March 1988, the Behrend College Rifle Club took a
bold step forward. That night the Rifle Club ventured into handgun
shooting.
The members were given an opportunity to fire a .357 Magnum
revolver and a .22 caliber revolver along with the regular rifles. The
Rifle Club plans to make handgun shooting a regular part of its
program. So, if you enjoy shooting rifles of handguns and want to
sharpen your skills you are welcome to join us. Even if you have
never shot before we would be glad to have you.

Topics ranging from aerobics to
AIDS were in the spotlight during
Behrend's Wellness Awareness
Week on April 4-10.
The featured speaker of the event
was aerobics expert Charlene
Prickclt. The producer and star of
her own "It Figures" fitness show
offered workshops on aerobics and
nutrition and, for the ambitious, led
an aerobics workout in Eric Hall.

Police ended a 15-hour sit-in at
Penn State University on Saturday
by arresting students who said the
use of force typified the school's
insensitivity toward blacks.
"Wc were dragged out and we got
pulled out by the state troopers.
People were manhandled by the state
troopers," said Darryl King, a senior
from Philadelphia and a student
leader of the almost entirely black
group occupying the school's
telecommunications building.
"I think it's a terrible message to
send to students when the president. Black students said they wanted

state troopers to meet with them. issues at an open meeting with

Apathy
by Cheryl Nietupski
Collegian Staff Writer
Apathy Busters. It all began last
fall when SGA President Matthew
Farkas came up with an idea to
"create more student involvement"
on campus for all organizations,
campus events, and especially, for
those students who believe "there's
nothing to do on campus.”
The Apathy Busier Program
received a good response from many
students and, with the help of
Behrend’s SGA, spread throughout
the Penn State system.
The Student Government
Association (SGA) is responsible
for many on- and off-campus
events.
On February 18 and 19, the
SGA sponsored a Behrend telecast
of the Presidential debates live from
Dallas, Texas. Students were also
given the opportunity to register to
vote.
As Spring Break approached in
early March, the SGA planned the
bus trip to Florida. Students were
charged only the necessary fees of

by Trinette Zawadzki
Collegian Staff Writer
Bchrcnd's radio station WBCR is
looking for a marketing director.
The marketing director would
mainly handle business advertising
and commercials. He or she would
be in charge of selling radio air time
to businesses, commercial
production, billing advertisers, and
making promotional deals with
companies. Students with a
marketing major or minor are
preferred.
This one year position is worth
no credit yet, but WBCR hopes to
have a communications credit
attached to the job.
The new position is just part of
WBCR's improvements. The
station hopes to resume are play
next October from a new four-room
station containing a broadcast
studio, a production/news studio,
and an office/reception area.

ihe hotel and bus service. The goal
of the trip was for the students to
have a great time at the least
possible cost.
The October 3 bus trip to
"University Park for "All U Day"
was another event sponsored by
SGA members. The excursion set
student government back $9OO
spent to provide transportation for
students who had no other way of
getting to University Park.
Last fall, "Apathy Buster" pins
were given to students. The reason
for the "Apathy Buster” pins was
to "make it known to students that
SGA exists,” said Farkas.
Since we are all steadily
approaching summer vacation,
Farkas said, "I think that there
[still] should be more student
involvement, but because we are at
the end of the semester, students
will have lime to get involved with
SGA next fall."
Students are always encouraged
to bring forth new ideas,
suggestions, or complaints to SGA
or SPC (Student Programming
Council) representatives.
