Mr. Pulakos narrated thoroughly each film while commenting on his own personal impressions and exper- fences In the Holy Land were seen such religious monuments as the stone slab on which the body of Jesus Christ was believed to have been laid after being removed from the cross, the rock which closed his tomb, the path of his death march, and the tomb of the Blessed Virgin Mary A film tour of Rome showed the famous St. Peter's Cathedral, the Arch of Constantine, and the Coliseum, each shown and studied to a greater extent than is usually done on film Being himself a native of Greece, Mr. Pulakos' films of Greece were quite impressive, showing many of the archaeolog- ical excavations being conducted in that country. Interesting to note is the fact that most exca vations being carried out in Greece are financed and super vised by outside countries and universities, including many American universities. Also included were shots of the locations of the filming of such movies as Gun of Navarone and Boy On A Dolphin. 3.10; J. Flanagan, 3.00: J. Golem beski, 3.33: F. Grabowski, 3.17; L. Hall, 3.09: P.

Mute evidence still remains of the tremendous snow storm that buried the Behrend Campus under several feet of drifted snow during the Christmas vacation. Has anyone seen the swimming pool lately? 4 Members Appointed by S.G.A. Four new student government representatives were ap pointed at last week's SGA meeting to fill vacancies created earlier this term. The four were: Alice Ann Bachman (3rd, A and L), Paul Brown (sth, L.A.), Patricia Casinelli (2nd, A and L), and Patri cia Coggeshall (2nd, H. Ec.). Other candidates for the four openings were: William Bethune (2nd. D.D.T.), Ivan Coene (sth, D.D.T.). Raymond Elder (2nd, E.E.TJ, Mary Jean Ferguson (sth, H. Ec.), Paula Harris (2nd, A and L), and Gary Mead (2nd. E.E.T.). Because the SGA felt that all the candidates offered ex cellent qualifications. it was necessary to take two ballots in order to select the four finalists. The new members will serve on the council until the third week of the spring term when regular elections will be held to choose four carry-over members for next year's SG A. At that time, four additional members will be selected to fill the four temporarily filled vacancies with permanent mem bers until the end of the spring term. Dancing, Winter Sports Fatten Heavy Agenda I Judging from the snow, winter lis here to stay, and Behrends SGA is doing something about it. I Saturday, February 2, is the I , date set for Behrend's annual Winter Carnival, this year to be held in conjunction with the Perry Sesquicentennial in Erie One thousand flyers advertising !Behrend's Winter Carnival will ! be distributed in Erie inviting the public to the dance, "Winter Car , nival '63." Tickets for the dance are avail able in the SGA office at $.75 per person, advance, and $l.OO at the door. Tickets also may be pur- Honors Considering the fact that this year's enrollment is higher than any in the past, the number of Dean's List enrollees is not up to Ipar. Fullest Dean's List of recent years occurred last spring when 31 students won this distinction. At that time, total enrollment was less than 275. Second highest list was reached in spring of 1960,1 with a total of 20. Enrollment then was less than 270. Last term's Honor Roll, how ever, must be applauded. With a list of 57, it was Behrend's largest. Closest competitor again—was last spring's, with 52. All of those. however, who at tained either Dean's List or Hon or Roll standing deserve praise and congratulations for• their ad mirable achievement. chased at the Sesquicentennial of fice, 723 State St. in Erie. From 9 to 12 p.m. Carnival goers will dance to the music of Dom Fosco's "Dimensions." At 10 p.m. the King and Queen of Erie's Winter Carnival will arrive tO hold court. Various refreshments will be served during the day at Erie Hall and the Student Lounge for hun gary and thirsty students. For during the Carnival day, activ ities such as skiing, sledding and tobagganing, tumbling and a sculpture contest have been planned. SGA representatives responsible for this years carnival are Robert Ropelewski, general chairman of the Winter Carnival; Mike Rope lewski, general chairman of the Winter _Carnival _dance; _Gene Wood, physical plant and decor ations chairman; Robert Williams, booth display and clean-up chair man; John Thompson, refresh ments _chairman; _Dave _Craley, publicity chairman; Don Barney, student co-ordinator; and Jim Runzo, chief supernumerary. Scripts Sought For Lit Annual The Behrend Campus Literary Club recently established a dead line for the submitting of man uscripts for publication in its an nual creative writing magazine— !lcarus. Although the Club has not released the exact date of the deadline, the word is-"soon." Any student who wishes to contribute creative writing of any sort poetry, short stories, articles, es says, humor-should start, working now toward that end. In the case of the Literary Club the word "soon" is nearly synonomous with "a number of weeks." Students realize by now that weeks pass fleetingly at college. Thus they .are urged to prepare now to avoid the disappointment of finding themselves with no time remain ing and their good intentions come to nought. Students interested in leafing through a copy of last year's col orful Icarus can find copies of the magazine on display in the west wing of the library. The con tent of this most recent issue is primarily poetry. But for the new year the Literary Club is hoping to receive a variety of works. Those manuscripts- to be • pub lished by the Club will be select ed and edited by a special board of its members. The title Icarus was bestowed upon the creative writing mag i azine when Dean B.A. Lane was advisor to the Literary Club. If one remembers from his instruc tion in Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the per sonification of all handicrafts and of art. Using a pair of wax and feather wings made for him by his father, Icarus, though repet edly warned, flew too close to the sun and as a result fell into the sea and drowned when the heat melted the adhesive in his feath ered limbs. It is hoped, however, that Behrend's Icarus meets with a fate more distingu'e. All manuscripts may be sub mitted to John R. Thompson, President of the Literary Club, or to Mr. Gordon Wilcox, advisor.
