Drill Club IVCF Diehl School Adoption Officially Observed by Steve Decker Collegian Staff Writer Behrend's family grew by 350 students last week, but none of them are even old enough to attend high school! Instead of being part of an ordinary college enrollment, these students are a part of the Adopt-A-School program that Behrend College is taking part in. Behrend College officially adopted Diehl Elementary School in an enthusiastic ceremony held in Diehl School's auditorium on Wednesday, November 16. The kick-off celebration included performances by the Behrendettes, the Nitany Lion mascot, and the pep band. "Our main goal was to explain to them what adoption is, and to show the children that someone cares," said Mari Trenkle, organizer of the ceremony. The ceremony also included the exchange of "adoption papers" between Diehl's Principal Phil Rewers and Behrend's Nitany Lion mascot. Diehl also presented a school flag to Behrend as a token of thanks for participation in the project. The groups present emphasized at the celebration that Adopt-A-School does not mean taking the children home and feeding them. Instead it means that Behrend students will show them the importance of doing well in school by helping them with their homework, or sponsoring an art or essay contest, or just by being there as a friend. The program, which is sponsored by the Erie School District and the Nurse Joins Health Center Weiner replaces Mary Jane Hamilton by Ken Anderson Collegian Staff Writer "Health is more than just absence of disease. Total health involves a good mental attitude, sensible eating habits, physical ■fitness, enough sleep,' and being able to adequately deal with feelings. One must try to create a constructive situation in dealing with feelings to keep the mind clear," says Mary-Anne Weiner, a woman who has made a career of helping others take responsibility for their own health and happiness. Weiner, a registered nurse, joined the Behrend's Health Center staff this fall after teaching nursing at Villa Maria College in Erie for two years. i An Erie native, Weiner graduated from Villa Maria College ahd earned her master's degree :in nursing education from Boston University. After receiving her master's, Weiner worked in emergency medical services for twelve years, and then spent four years at the University of Vermont as an administrator of the health clinic. Describing herself as "a teacher at heart," Weiner is very interested in wellness and teaching others about it. She's also happy that she gets to do more than just teach while working in the Health Center. She is able to see the relationship between stress ahd illness in her position at the Health Center. "The number of students who visit me with a cold or the flu increases during the middle and end of the semester around exam time, she said. During these times students go through a lot of stress and tend to stop taking care of The Collegian Editor James Martin Advisor Nancy McGartland Entertainment Editors Nan Quatchak Vail Weller RobPrindle Feature Editor Layout Editor ; Bill Warner News Editor Maria Plaza Sports Editor .

Marybeth Zawistoski Business Manager StanLefes Computer Consultant Tom Wilkinson Distribution Manager Michelle Scneider November 22, 1988 Erie Chamber of Commerce, hopes to be an ongoing program at Behrend. Trenkle explained that Diehl school children need positive role models, and that there will' always be a need for Behrend students and clubs to give this type of encouragement "We want to let them be the best they can be," said Trenkle. But this can not happen unless Behrend students help the cause. At this point, more clubs and individual students are greatly needed. Behrend clubs can play the role of adopting an individual class or grade. Clubs such as Sigma Theta Chi, Lambda Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega, and Commuter Council already have plans to participate, but more clubs are needed. The clubs involved will work with the teacher and spend time with the kids by helping. them with their homework or reading them a story. Clubs could also sponsor contests to promote excitement for education. The Adopt-A-School program at Behrend also needs the help of students who are not involved with the participating clubs. Individuals are needed for the Penn-State Pal program in which students are assigned a "pal” to correspond with. This would include writing letters of encouragement to the child and visiting him or her at least twice a semester. "There is no doubt that the children look up to college students," said Trenkle, and the hope is that a personal themselves. All this leads to a depression of the immune system, which opens the door for a variety of illnesses," she explains. Weiner points out that "a person's own effort in maintaining wellness go a lot further in preventing illness than the health care system." She refers to a study by the University of Wisconsin at Steven's Point on factors that determine a person's health. Percentages represent the degree to which various factors determine good health. Lifestyle: fifty-three percent. Health care system: ten percent. Environment: Twenty-one percent. This includes physical, emotional, and social environments. Genes and body make up: sixteen percent. This includes illnesses in the family like heart disease and diabetes. "The lifestyle that determines your health includes a lot more than just physical fitness," Weiner says. "Proper nutrition, smoking, seat belt use, and drinking tendencies are among many factors contained in that category. High level wellness is not only being your best but also striving for more. It is a self-actualization process in which goals are set and efforts are made to reach them.” Five years from now, Weiner would like to be in a position to teach health and wellness full time. She would like to remain at Behrend because she really likes the campus and enjoys the students and faculty. "I would- like to see a wellness center on campus," she says. This center would be separate from the Health Center and would include a relaxation room, and classrooms to teach relaxation techniques and nutritional counseling.

Any student or club interested in participating in the Adopt-A-School program should contact John Downey at 898-6111 or 898-6155. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Police suspect the same assailant committed both crimes, but have made no arrests yet. In recent weeks, University of Illinois women have been marching repeatedly to express their frustration about the lack of arrests in a series of 15 rapes on or near their campus since last April.
