Pictured is the new science-engineering building being built on Behrend Campus. Completion expected next spring. S.G.A. Report The Student Council of the Behrend Campus has four meet ings under its hat to date. In case you've missed reading the minutes which have been posted weekly on the bulletin boards in Turnbull and Erie Halls, here is a brief run-down on what has been going on in the smoke-filled room behind the closed doors of the Teacher's Lounge. In the first meeting the offi cers for the term were elected and the committee members were cho sn. Thy were: President, Alan McAllister; Vice-president, Dale Black; Secretary Sally Woolworth; Treasuier, Jerry MaMahon; Cor responding Secretary, Helen Ro vegno; and Activities Chairman, Bob Williams. The Traffic Court consists of Terry Copeland, Hank Hess, and Helen Rovegno. Pool table and bowling alley costs and• maintenance were dis cussed; it was decided that stu dents would pay $.15 per half hour for the use of the pool table and $.30 a game for bowling. Pingpong balls can be purchased at $.lO and $.15 each . In the following meetings the S. G. A. budget for the year was finalized and approved and the in dividual organizations were .noti7 OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATION BEHREND CAMPUS—The Pennsylvania State University The Activities Calendar has been accepted as it stands and the possibility of bringing entertain ment in from outside sources in the form of concerts, lectures, etc. were discussed. The equipment of the S. G. A. Office was discussed, and it was decided that in oredr to keep track of the equipment, all students borrowing any of it will have to turn in his matriculation card in return. Any damage to the equip ment will be paid for by the stu dent using it. New ping-pong paddles are now available for the students' use until 5:00 P.M.

The new $675,000 science-engi neering building on Behrend Cam pus is scheduled for completion in June 1962, one year from the start of construction, according to Mr. T. E. Campbell, assistant director of Behrend Campus. The new classroom-laboratory building was completely enclosed by November 20, with the heating system in operation. The brick exterior, ac cented with touches of Niagara stone, can now be seen. When completed, the large build ing, which will permit Behrend Campus to nearly double its en rollment, will be one main unit with an adjoining wing. Approxi mately 100x300 feet, the first ad dition in the current Behrend Cam pus expansion program will have six exterior entrances. :;: The interior of the building will be completed during the winter months. When finished, the faculty wing will consist of a receptionist hall, conference room, secretarial supply room, and 14 faculty offices. Adjacent to the faculty section wil be a lecture demonstration room which will accommodate approxi mately 175 students. Furnished with upholstered seats complete with folding arms, and featuring a sloping floor, this room will be available both for regular class lectures and demonstrations and for evening programs at Behrend Campus. The classroom-laboratory section will contain an electrical labora tory (primarily for associate de gree students), physics and chem istry laboratories, two drafting rooms, a biology laboratory, and a receiving room. Each of these rooms will have ample storage space immediately adjacent to it. One unique feature of this section is the fact that there will be no exterior windows. The south side of the building will have five classrooms and a language-music laboratory, com plete with tape recorders, hi-fi equipment, and individual student booths. Of the five classrooms, three of them will be furnished Tuesday, December 5, 1961 with partitions, thus providing eight different rooms when needed. Each of these rooms will be fur nished with natural light. The classroom-laboratory wing is so designed to readily permit expansion. Each of the classrooms could easily be modified into a laboratory and the two drafting rooms will eventually be converted into chemistry and biology labora- tories. Ceramic tile will be featured on the hallway floors and the rest room walls. The walls of the class rooms and halls will be furnished with asphalt tile. All in all, the beautiful one-story building will be a tremendous step forward for the Behrend Campus and the Pennsylvania State Uni versity. Furnished entirely with modern equipment and furnishings, it will provide the best educational facilities available for future Beh rend Campus students. News Flash! The Board of Trustees of the Pennsylvania State University, upon the recommendation of the Behrend Campus Advisory Board, has approved, the official name for the new science-laboratory build ing, which will now be known as the Dr. Otto F. Behrend Science Building. Dr. Otto Behrend, for whom the building has been named, was the brother of Ernst Behrend, who founded the Hammermill Paper Company, and upon whose estate the Behrend Campus now stands. The benevolence of Dr. Behrend, who bequeathed $750,000 to the Behrend Campus several years ago, made possible the construction of this new science building. This building will serve as a monument to his philanthropic spirit, which led him to literally give away a fortune in the interests of educa tion. The students of Behrend Cam pus will long remember Dr. Beh rend.
