news Cecille Springer; by Trinette Zawadzki Collegian Staff Writer Penn State's 1987-88 Speaker Series recently presented Cecile Springer whose lecture was entitled "Winning with Women: Careers for Women in Corporate America." Springer is Director of Contributions and Community Affairs for the Westinghousc Corporation, a position she reached just four years after joining the company. She is also a Penn State Trustee and holds two master's degrees and an honorary Ph.D. Springer stressed that higher education is vital if women are to Warburton takes new post by Kurt Kaletka Collegian Staff Writer After three years of teaching at Behrend, Dr. Terry Warburton has moved on. While still teaching part-time here, Warburton declined his post as head of the Communications department here, in favor of an Associate Professorship at Edinboro University. Warburton's duties as department head arc being temporarily performed by Speech Communication Instructor Cathy A report from Down Under G'Day Behrend! Asking me to describe my study abroad experience in one letter is like asking me to describe a whole country in one sentence—almost impossible, but I'll do my best. In choosing where I wanted to study, I chose Australia because it offered a more flexible program of study than the others,, and also because I felt that I’d have more a chance' of visiting another country later on, but this trip to Australia might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As for how I like it now that I'm here—l love it! Admittedly, it was a bit rough at first Jet lag, culture shock and just the idea of being so far awav from family and friends can add up to a big case of homesickness. (I was also Safety Tips Summer BIKING SAFETY Biking is becoming more and more popular as time goes on. Before you start, make sure the equipment is in good working order, like the tires, brakes and lights. Next, wear highly visible clothing, try to bike on designated bike paths, plan your route and never go alone. If you must travel on the highway, go with the flow of traffic and remember that other vehicle operators may not see you, so be extremely cautious when making any moves. Keep in mind that all the traffic laws apply to you as well as to motor vehicles. This means, for example, stop at stop signs and redlights. Try not to travel at night, but if you do, wear reflective clothing and use lights. HIKING SAFETY Hiking jogging and walking are also popular today. Like in biking, you should be prepared with the proper, easily visible clothing and equipment before starting out, like shoes, pants, compasses, hat, bug spray,etc. Also, planning your route is again important, as is not going alone. Take a flashlight if you may be out after dark. Stick to Clothing Special at The Bookstore During Finals Week All Clothing at least 20 % off (Some items have been further reduced) succeed in the highly competitive world of business. For women wishing ot break through the barriers of the corporate world, Springer suggested the book Breaking Through the Glass Barrier. The book offers the following suggestions for climbing the corporate ladder 1. Learn the ropes—know the . company and how it runs. 2. control of your career. 3. confidence. 4. Rely on others—find a mentor. 5. Go for the bottom line- lake charge and demonstrate leadership. 6. Integrate your personal life Mcster. The internship program he supervised is being run by Associate Professor of Speech Communication Dr. Ron Troester. Warburton has enjoyed working at Behrend but seeks to accomplish personal goals, including working with a research department for television media, which he was unable to do here. Since the College emphasizes Science, engineering and Technology, when Warburton worked to get a t.v. media research department he was unsuccessful. "The opportunities (at Edinboro) exhausted from our stops in Tahiti and New Zealand, another bonus of flying half way around the world!) But it's impossible not to start feeling right at home in just a short time. The stereotype of Australians just does not do them justice! They are, I believe, the friendliest and most hospitable people I’ll ever meet. And they sure do love their parlies—it's very easy to get so caught up'in having a good time that you forget you are here to study—these people are WELD! As for classes, the system of teaching is very different, and it takes a bit of getting used to. Most of the work you do requires research (I feel like I’m in grad school). Rather than one or two required texts, they give you lists and lists of "recommended" reading, and you Fun-The Safe Way well traveled paths, and if you have to go out after dark, make sure you slick to main throughfarcs. SUMMER SAFETY Swimming and boating are great fun, but can be dangerous. The buddy system again should come into play here, as well as having the proper and maintained equipment. Don’t swim in unprotected areas, no matter how good of a swimmer you are. The best swimmer will have problems if they're dazed or injured. Also, don't mess around, as accidents can easily happen. At beaches, don’t go out too far and watch out for the undertow. If you're boating, wear a life jacket and make sure everyone else has one on. Also, keep up with the latest weather as lake storms can develop quickly. In most sports where physical exertion is stressed, remember to properly warm up before you start If it's a competition, keep in mind that you don’t have to shed blood or break someone’s leg to be successful. Finally, the reason you’re working out is to have fun, so have iL Winning With Women and work. Another point stressed by Springer was having a personal strategic plan—decide what your goals arc and how to achieve them. Set up a time table for your goals, write them down so you can look at them later and see if you have reached them, and finally, implement your goals. According to Springer, the most promising job opportunities for students with undergaduate degrees are accounting, auditing, chemistry, engineering, computer programming, and public relations. Top prospects for graduate students include economist, bankers' are more with my interests," said Warburton. Edinboro has more television media students than Behrend, as well as a Graduate Program which Warburton would like to have a chance to work with. Warburton would rather work with graduate students because he feels his talents are better suited for people who have definite designs on a career in Lv. media. Intrigued by the prospect of working with Edinboro's budding graduate program, he enjoys the idea of coming into something that's just starting" and wants to "help it arc supposed to go into the class There are days when things get with some background knowledge, to you—how long the mail takes ???? lam taking Anthropology and from the States, how expensive two Philosophy courses, and I have things are, the difficulty of classes only one test, but five 2500-word and the food (Believe me, P.S.U. is research papers and several gourmet, I don’t think I can take presentations due.

With higher education and goal planning, women's career achievements have climbed. Instead of being just a lawyer, they are becoming partners in the firm. Campaign workers are becoming campaign directors or even the candidate themselves. Workers are becoming-the entrepreneurs. Springer closed with the following quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: "You gain strength, courage, and confidence in every experience. You must look fear in the face in things you must do." grow.” Warburton hopes to assist Edinboro's growing program reach its full potential. When he came to Behrend, he felt he didn't "fit into a lot of traditional categories" of communication personnel since accomplishments are usually regarded as that are - published. Among his accomplishments, which have little to do with the printed word, is a film on the history of Pennsylvania made for public television. Kimberly A. Bielski Get off your butt. Club Reports On Sunday April 10, twenty-one R.O.T.C. Cadets gathered at the Rolling Meadows Bowling Lanes to assist The Erie County Big Brothers and Big Sisters organization with their annual "Bowl For Kids Sake" fund-raising event. The cadets helped with scorekeeping, refreshments, and keeping the bowling center clean and presentable. Many of the cadets also took time to "Bowl For Kids Sake" as fill-in team members. Teams from various organizations and corporations petitioned sponsors to pledge five cents per pin for each bowler's best game. The money raised will be used to recruit, screen, and train potential Big Brothers and Big Sisters. The Erie County Big Brothers and Big Sisters is an organization sponsored by the United Way. They provide adult friends, who spend a few hours a week with children who come from single-parent families. In the Erie area, there are over seventy children waiting to find a Big Brother or Big Sister. The volunteers were: Major McDavid, Greg Durkac, Craig Paske, Cal Fryling, Gary Pirl, Doug Moorehead, Dana Grudzien, Chris Martincic, John Hennessey, Dave Bauman, Victoria Long, Nicole Bryant, A 1 Balkovac, Heather Sizer, Dave Cruttenden, Jeff Jastrzab, Natasha Brown, Joe Graczyk, Kris Fruit, and Julie Canick. Cadet Greg Durkac worked very hard organizing the event, so everything went smoothly, and did an outstanding job! by Patty Landry SADD is curently setting up for many activities that will be effective next year. Many of the first year officers are transferring to state or graduating, so we invite any students to attend our meetings to become committee members for next semester. SADD became an official club this year at Behrend. The club promotes safe driving, without the influence of alcohol. Planned activities include: a television commercial to promote safe driving, cab fore for students, free non-alcoholic parties, and perhaps speakers at various high schools. SADD is a good cause; you may save a life. by J.B.
