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. __ '

Carol Rayhill, our psychology and
sociology instructor. She was

in Rochester, receiving her B. H.
in psychology at Michigan State

chology and personnel at Okla
homa University.
Befofe coming to Behrend, Miss
Rayhill had been on the facility
at Oregon State College, Detroit
University,- Trinity College in
Washington, and Michigan State
University.
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. She hopes to ob
tain her PhD. in guidance, and

Giving pills; rub-downs, and ad
vice to the confused is a daily
ritual which Jane McClain goes
through as being one of the most
understanding girls in the dormi
tory. 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. A newly elected
member of the Student Council,
Jane is also a member of the
Dormitory Council.
A resident of Mercer, where her
father is Justice of "the Peace, she
was graduated from Mercer High
in *54. The youngest of three chil
dren, Jane has been inspired not
only by her parents; but also by
her brother, who is an engineer
ing graduate of Purdue, and her
sister, a graduate of Maryville
College.
Presently involved with her
work as student director of the
approaching Easter play, Jane

Miss Carol Rayhill
has spent one semester at Cor
nell -working toward it.'
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.! She hates
being called on the phone at 2:00
in the morning, no matter how •
much fun you are having at the
party and want her to know about
it.

pating in Behrend’s extra-curricu
lar activities. Recently celebrating
her twenty-first birthday, she
can’t hide .the fact that she’s
proud -to be twenty-one and
“legal.”
With few dislikes, her list of
favorites would probably run the
length of the page. Jeff Chandler;
actor, “You Belong To Me,” song;
and “Written On The Wind,”
movie, are a few of her prefer-
ences.
If you are able to catch this lass
who’s ajyvays “on the run,” you’ll
find one of the friendliest girls
at Behrend.'
