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

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

SEE YOU NEXT'YEAR!
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.
