sociate, Professor Paul Peterson
of Gannon College. 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.

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

p.m. the King and Queen of Erie's
Winter Carnival will arrive tO

ities such as skiing, sledding and

sculpture contest have been
planned.

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.
