Want to Get Away From It All? If you, like many of us, ai;e tired of crowded classrooms, long lines in the cafeteria, and the usual rush of the academic life,, there is a “real cool”, almost uninhabited spot right in our midst - the library. A library is a building containing a collection of books, magazines, and other written or printed material, which is kept for reading and studying. Behrend Center is fortunate in having such a collection. Unfortunately, however, all too few of us avail ourselves of our good fortune. As almost any of the faculty will and do point out to us, classroom work is merely the beginning step in attaining an understanding of any subject. For the ensuing process of filling in those gaps which naturally occur in most subject-fields, we have at our disposal an excellent collection of books and important maga zines and journals. Now the question comes to my mind; why isn’t, the library used by students as it should be ? Some of us say that we haven’t enough time; others say the library isn’t complete enough. As an answer to the first, we have plenty of time for coffee breaks, haven’t we? As for the second, are you sure you know how complete our.collection is? With box loads of books coming into the library each semester, there is a great deal of material for any knowledge you desire - on al most any subject. It is surprising that there are students on this campus who have never seen the inside of our library. Should you be one of these, the people who work in the library, I am sure, will extend a special welcome to you to come in and look around, ask questions, and become acquainted with the library. It is there for your benefit. The more time spent in study, the better the grade. Spend as much of your free time as possible in your library. Not only will your grades improve, but you will have made full use of our available facilities here at the Center. These facili ties are here in order to give us the most complete education possible. Let's Appreciate The art of appreciation is possessed by everyone, al though camouflaged in very effective ways in the lives of some people. Appreciation really is an art, being the ability to be grateful for, or to value, putting oh a high level, those things that we love or cherish. Here at Behrend Center we, if we would only take the time to think about it,, have a great number of things to be appreciated. Just stop and think about it. We have a beau tiful campus, whether blanketed by leaves in the fall, under a mantle of winter’s snow, enchanted in the early dawn by the first rays of sunlight, or brought tq. life by the gay voices of energetic swimmers in the summer months. Then there are the people! You may find.students and faculty alike in many varieties, but look for the good points in people. Try.the optomistic way of thinking for a little while. It won’t, hurt you, and you will find 1 a wonderful feel ing of satisfaction and joy in appreciation. You know a place is what its inhabitants are, so we have a load of responsibili ty. Are you doing your share? Some folks believe the world owes them a debt of some kind, and they are out to acquire payment.. Little do these people realize that, “Life is what you make it,” and through your appreciation of your friends, your classmates, the facul ty, and everyone concerned, you may live life to the fullest or may make yourself miserable. Opportunity is all around us, for Behrend Center is small and our relationship with other students and the faculty is on a much closer basis than that of a large college. Here we are more than a number. __ ' THE NITTANY CD Around The Campus Mid-term over and Spring Va cation waving its bright flag be fore us, Behrendites are ready to take to baseball bats, the swim ming pool, and flower picking.

When asked about hjpr hobbies, she said she would only tell of her legitimate ones, which in clude golf. She has been playing golf since the age of twelve, and says she would rather play a good game of' golf than eat. She likes to bowl, but doesn’t think it pro vides as much for the individual as golf, since the latter gives -you more exercise and) also fresh air. A score in the low nineties on an eighteen-hole course is about her average! Blue is the favorite color of Miss Rayhill, '(indicating mood iness). She also states that cats fascinate her, as they are much more independent than dogs. When asked about her am bition, she said that as a child she had wanted to be a nurse and started in college by "majoring in medical technology, but! The ad vanced courses in chemistry didn’t agree with her.

A year and a half of nurses training in St. Luke’s Hospital, Cleveland, gives Jane the ability to be the dorm girls practical nurse. Before coming to Behrend, “Janie” spent three months work ing as a hospital secretary in Or lando, Florida. Her versatility and reserved sense of humor are often uncov ered on the basketball court or bowling alley. You can always find Jane at Erie Hall practicing to keep up her score or just bat ting ping-pong balls. When asked what she most ' enjoys about Behrend Center, Jane said, “rid ing around in the red Plymouth convertible with Greg.” Presently enrolled in elemen tary education, she plans to ma jor in psychology.

Miss Rayhill’s opinion "of Behrend and the students is that the student-teacher relationship is much closer than at other schools. She feels- the “likeable, hardworking and industrious stu dents" of Behrend are more ser ious about their work than those in other co-ed schools. • She also says Behrend students fall into the same learning curve as those in large schools. Making her_ home in Lawrence ' Park, she dislikes going, to bed and getting up in the morning. Watch-out for this one.!

Jeff Chandler; actor, “You Belong To Me,” song; and “Written On The Wind,” movie, are a few of her prefer- ences.
