SCHICKHAUS Continued from Page Three ters the goal area does it count for a score. And Slippery Rock had three of those kind. The first two goals came with less than five minutes remaining in the first half. Both goals were credited to a fellow by the name of Gannon (that's right) with the second coming just as the first half horn sounded. The final Slippery Rock goal came at the outset of the fourth period. The Behr end Cheerleaders made their debut during this game and quite a fine group they are. Certainly the Behrend Cam pus' finest cheerleading squad ever, is now in operation. To greet the cheerleaders was per haps the largest crowd ever to see a soccer game on the local field. THE NITTANY CUB Dr. George A. Knadler, n3wly ap pointed associate professor of geography and assistant director for instruction at the Behrend Campus. Senator Clark Visits Campus Federal, rather than sta t e issues will be the outstanding topics of this fall's elections claims Senator Joseph Clark (D.-Pa.). Approximately 30 to 40 students heard this and other comments from the Senator when he visited the Behrend Campus on October 2. Mr. Clark is cam paigning for re-election this fall. During his speech, Senator Clark also explained why he felt that he was a qualified candidate for re-election to the senate. Among other things, he noted that during his present term of office as senator, he has backed several bills directly beneficial to Erie and Erie County in addition to those benefitting college stu dents. These included the St. Lawrence Seaway and Erie Har bor projects, modernization of the Port Erie Airport, and repair and improvements at the Presque Isle Park. The senator also took a firm stand against United States in tervention in Cuba. In a question and answer period which followed the talk, several of the students present questioned the prudence of this outlook. Mr. Clark ex plained that U. S. military forces are not large enough at present to allow the U. S. to invade Cuba and still be militarily capable of dealing with situations which might arise in other parts of the world. Cheerleaders Made Debut on Tuesday The Behrend cheerleaders made their official debut last Tuesday at the soccer game against Slippery Rock. This organization was in- stigated last year late in the basketball season and cheered at the last few games. This year tryouts were held on Friday, Sept. 29.

Eight Ball in The SGA Rack By Judy Alexander Our new SGA President hails from Oil City, Pennsylvania, where he was born, raised, and educated. James Runzo is his of ficial title, but he is Jim to every one on campus. Jim is an English Major in the College of Liberal Arts. After graduation, he plans to go to graduate school, and then teach college English. While Jim was in the SGA last year, he attended two OSGA con ferences at University Park. He was honored with the job of co chairman of the OSGA workshop last August. Last year Jim was very active at Behrend. Among his endeavors were: the Freshman Variety Show, several plays, the Behrend Choir, the Literary Club, the Icarus Staff, and he is on the Nittany Cub Staff for 1962-63. Jim has had experience in SGA and many other Behrend activ ities. This experience will help him recognize campus and club problems. With the help of the SGA, the faculty, and of course the students, these problems can be solved and we will be the best Penn State Commonwealth Campus. Tuesday, Oct. 23, 1962 The girls will cheer at the last three soccer games and all of the basketball games. According to Mary Jean Shea, the girls feel that they would be able to cheer much more effec tively if there was an audience in attendance. Therefore, a cheer ing saction will be organized and lists of the cheers will be avail able soon. Mary Jean also urges all the students at Behrend to come to as many games as possible, so that thLs year, "the teams will have a real winning season."
