Student Council members, we are eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of their solemn cam paign promises. It should not be long before it will be a pleasure to park in the newly smoothed, graveled, and three laned parking lot. Students need not be late for classes be cause of the one-time “quagmires” located along the path between Erie Hall and Turnbull and will have complete assur ance of their stability when ascending the stairs. Deeply-engrossed bridge players are guaranteed a lunch when the fruit machine is placed in the lounge, and those in the cafeteria will have access to a candy vendor. A new felt covering for the pool table will aid the accuracy of the players of the billiard game. Swimmers will be comfortably able to see what they are doing when a new heater and lighting system is placed in the bath house. If more improvement of the campus could possibly be needed, any student will be able to ask for it through the suggestion box to be placed in Turnbull Hall. At last our dreams will become a reality! If You Ask My Opinion ... By Karen Rlashford The commencing of a new semes tei’ usually bi-ings varied resolu tions regarding studying.

Todd Cook—No, too busy with the bird society. THE NITTANY CUB “Anybody for ping-pong?” This question can be heard at almost any time in Erie Hall from that amiable and intelligent Gail An derson. Gail, as a math major and honor student in secondary educa tion, commutes to Behrend from Erie. This ambitious, 5'6", hazel-eyed Miss ranks swimming, sailing, horseback riding, and reading novels and biographies high on the list of her spare-time activities. Of course, Gail admits that parties are at the head of this list. To de velop her mind further, Gail is now learning to play bridge. When lounging or doing home work, she . enjoys listening to swing or classical music. Also among her favorites are fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and Mike and Dan, her two dogs. She dis likes getting up in the morning and practical jokes.

No change is to be made immediately in the water supply, but as enrollments in crease, the demand will outstrip the present supply, and the new system will be constructed. The total cost of this phase of the pro gram and the other two previously mentioned is estimated at $1,000,- 000. The entire sum will come from the Behrend trust fund. The board of trustees at the Main Campus has also approved the site organization plan for the entire development. This is the lay out for all buildings, roads, and athletic fields. Each phase must be approved separately as the pro gram goes forward, but the first step is usually the most difficult. The . program includes a library, dormitories, gym, athletic fields, several classroom buildings, fac ulty housing, and a student union building. Also included are numer ous new roads and parking lots. Mr. .Kochel roughly estimated the cost for the initial developments at $3,500,000 to $4,000,000.
