Page Four SGT► Needs Cooperation It has recently come to the at tention of the S.G.A., that certain students have been failing in their duty to return recreational equip ment to the S.G.A. office The council would like to remind the student body that such fac ilities are provided for the enjoy ment and recreation of the stu dents.

If you are one of the "music mas ters" watch the bulletin board for the rehearsal schedule and come. ALPHA PHI OMEGA SEEKS MEMBERS A new club, the Alpha Phi Omego fraternity, is making its appearance on the Behrend Cam pus.

These reflections of the "studious" students include: the colliding of the billiard balls against the savagely-beaten cushions of our pool table; the slightly pornographic shouts during one of the many Heart games; ping-pong balls knocking against the tables; and finally, the "encouraging" sounds of the new juke-box. Yes, the juke-box has come to . Behrend. It is a, reminder of what "new" recreational facilities can do for Erie Hall. Unanimously accepted by the student body, it is a popular stimulant for enjoy ment. Constantly accepting dimes from you, it works overtime to supply music and to provide a new air to Erie Hall. Set up by our SGA through the vote of the students, it shows promise as a good money-making project. As planned, every two weeks the records will be changed. This will only occur If the students will request new records. All that is required of the student CIRCLE "K" NEEDS YOU Circle "K" members are already hard at work on their new ser vice project, establishing a blood bank at Saint Vincent's Hospital which will be accessible to the Behrend student body, fac ulty. administration, and all other persons on the Behrend payroll.
