Duane Meade, Art Thornton and Marty Pennington get in shape
for the physical fitness program to begin at Behrend during the
Spring Term
Behrend to Take Part
In Physical Fitness Program
In keeping with President Ken
nedy's physical fitness program
and his recent challenge to Teddy
Roosevelt's "50 miles in 20 hours,"
Behrend has come forward to
meet the challenge. Considering
the size of the campus, 50 miles
is certainly out of the question:
as is 50 feet. 25 feet. etc. Instead
several startling changes will take
place at the beginning of Spring
Term.
1. No more entering the Otto
F. Behrend Science Building from
the front and side entrances. In
stead. students will be required
to climb an anchor chain to the
roof, at which time they will
enter a weighted trap door.
2. The corridors will have a
barbed wire obstacle course com
plete with audible cadence count,
and the only clear area will be
around the Faculty Offices.
3. Vertical spears will be im
bedded in the stair-well to the
Library, and students will have
to swing up and down on inclined
parallel bars.
4. The lounge will be changed
into a gymnasium, and a vigorous
physical program will be initi
ated, (co-ed wrestling, chandelier
swinging, and Santa Claus-type
chimney sliding).
Of course the faculty will be
there to make this experiment a
big success:
Mr. Bedford will design the
Beauty and T
Once upon a time there was
an Ugly Man who turned out to
be Ray Elder. He made his ap
pearance at the Alpha Phi
Omega's dance, Heart's Content,
February 15.
According to Marty Penning
ton, each year the Alpha Phi
Omega hopes to pick a "new"
Ugly Man. "The ugly guys need
floor-plan layout for the gym.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Baker will
design and construct the intri
cate mechanisms which will com
plete the gym equipment. Mr.
Hover will supply ultra-high
fidelity back-ground music which
will be mainly Lawrence Welk
and the Bach Choir. Mr. Patter
son will give instructions in Ad
vanced Chandelier Swinging.
After the program is in full
swing. Mr. Fryer will take a time
study of each man and will also
be concealed in a booth with one
way, unbreakable glass taking
notes for his book to be entitled.
"I Haven't Laughed So Hard
Since My Dog Died."
Mr. Balmer will be in charge of
gym posters such as: Ignorance
Is Strength, Two and Two Make
Five, No Smoking. Men's Room,
etc.
Mrs. Lilliman will stand-by
with stretchers, resuscitator, a
portable operating table, wheel
chairs and bandages.
Mr. Wilcox will work together
with the secretarial staff in
gathering data, and Dean Lane
will compile a concise 15.000 word
report complete with an index,
an appendix and footnotes.
ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN
DO FOR YOUR BODY, BUT
RATHER, WHAT THE UNDER
TAKER WILL DO WITH IT!
e Ugly Man
recognition, too!" he said.
The Queen of this year's Heart's
Content was Linda Hall. And
Marty Pennington reports that
as soon as Alpha Phi Omega's
charter is approved that the
winner of the Ugly Man Contest
will receive a gift for his con
tribution to Behrend.

FACULTY 'FANATICS'
IN FINE FORM
Several weeks ago the Faculty
Fanatics trounced the student
body in a questionable game of
basketball just prior to the same
' sort of contest that saw the cam
ouflaged Dorm Girls and the en
cumbered Varsity race to a
screeching tie. Following these
many happy times on the gym
naisum floor, nearly everyone mi
grated to the new student lounge
and feasted on pizza and appro
priate beverages while twisting to
the sounds coming from Gary
Mead's stereo set. (The Faculty
just sat around looking terribly
pleased with themselves.) Several
days later, still overwrought with
their upset victory, the Faculty
challenged the students to a bowl
ing match. Naturally the students
accepted: but with final exams
quickly approaching, the Faculty
appears to be in the driver's seat
with this one, too. Wednesday
night, March G. the Students and
the Faculty battled one another
to a bowling draw. The students
won two games while the Faculty
took a game and total pins.
Five Faculty Fanatics got their
names in the scorebook in their
win over the students, but this
was not the entire story. First of
all, the coach of the students was
ejected from the game in the final
minutes whereupon the student
team completely collapsed and all
but gave the game away. Second
ly. the spectacular and unorthodox
defense of the Faculty had the
students fearing for their lives as

Transportation Committee
Organized on
The S.G.A. has formed a trans
portation committee to provide
rides to Wesleyville or Erie for
the dorm girls. This pertains
particularly to rides into Erie on
Friday night and transportation
to town on Saturday. It is up to
the girls to set the time of de
parture and to contact one of
the members of the committee, so
that arrangements can be made
about who will take the girls in,
where they want to go, and what
time and where they would like
to be picked up.
The members of the committee
are: Pat Coggeshall, chairman;
Alice Bachman. Pat Cassinelli.
Elaine Doyle, Barb Hahn, Bill
Bethune, Chris Cone, and Ray
Elder.
Chuck. Shaff is driving the
ball time and again. Gallagher, a
rookie with a lot of promise, led
the offensive attack with twenty
nine points. Mosso and Edwards
divided twelve, Kochel added a
goal, and Fryer dropped in a free
throw. Forty-four to forty was the
final score. For the students Willi
Schickhaus ripped the nets for
fourteen followed by Dave Cikos
ki's nine. Joe Holmwood added six
with Miller, Clark, Sorenson, and
Lyle accounting for two each.
Other students who played were
John Carlow, Dale Anderson,
Duane Mead. and Ed Hitch.
In the Dorm-Varsity contest,
only a last second basket by the
Varsity prevented the Dorm from
claiming an embarrassing upset.
The game was an uncouth affair
with many penalties throughout
which caused it to end up in a
tie—much to the surprise of every
one. Twenty-four to twenty-four
was the final score. Strangely
enough. the scorebook shows that
everyone involved scored one point
apiece. Those who took part were
Candy Shedd. Eileen Boyer. Linda
Breslow, Pat Coggeshall. Sally
Davidson, Ellen Friedenberg, Lana
Harding, Sandy Zierdt, Surellee
Tosher, Kathy Brinsfield, Mary
Nucciarone, and Vicky Rubino.
Fellows were Sam Heller, Joe
Haser. Larry Loftus. Terry Ken
nedy, Mel Ross. Bob Ropelewski,
Ray Morin, Rocco Agostini. Bill
Sanko. Doug Prozan. Torn Apke
and Bob Vicander. Various SGA
members co-ordinated
Campus
school car to and from Erie. on
Saturdays. This is to provide a
ride for those dorm girls who
have shopping to do and need a
way into Erie.
On Monday. February 25, the
Red Cross, under the chairman
ship of Mary Shine, took a group
of students to the Zem Zem
Children's Hospital to entertain.
Th e transportation committee
and Alpha Phi Omega made sure
that everyone had a ride.
Pat Coggeshall said she hoped
she spoke for all the dorm girls
when she voiced the comment,
"It's nice to know that now we
will be able to get a ride into
Erie without having to wait and
worry about who's going in. We
certainly hope this will continue
in the future."
