Behrend students will have the opportunity to increase their

given tomorrow night at 8 in Erie Hall.
Students and the public are invited free of charge to attend
"This Is Ballet," a program presented by the Erie Civic Ballet Com
pany featuring The Pas de Quatre, four Tchaikowsky variations, and
Tom Sawyer.
The first half of the program will consist of a lecture and demon
stration by Mrs. Statia Sublette, Artistic Director of the Erie Civic
Ballet and Erie Civic Ballet Corps, in which she will demonstrate
the various dance steps used in ballet and trace the history of these
steps and the ballet itself from its beginning to the present day.
The second half of the program will consist of three ballets by
the Corps:
Tom Sawyer will represent contemporary-narrative ballet.
The Pas de Quatre will represent the romantic ballet.
The Tchaikowsky variations will represent the classic ballet
The four variations are:
The Silver Fairy from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; Red Riding Hood
and the Wolf from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; Puss in Boots from
the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; and The Dance of the Mirlitons from the
Nutcracker.
The Erie Civic Ballet Company was founded by Statia Sublette
in 1957. The Company has a fall and spring season when it performs
traditional and original works in ballet and modern dance. Special
children's matinees, youth concerts with the Erie Philharmonic Or-
This
is Ballet!
BEHREND CAMPUS—The Pennsylvania State University
Some week soon everyone
who plays a role in the aca
demic program of the Behr
end Campus may be called
together in a mass meeting
to discuss a proposed Honor
System for the Behrend
Campus. Please try to con
sider what an Honor System
would mean to you person
ally and to Behrend. Basi
cally, a student would give
his word and write a special
pledge on all written work
that he has in no way
cheated on that exam, which
would not be proctored, or
in the preparation of that
work. Stiff penalties up to
expulsion would be rendered
for violations. The system
would be totally student
operated except, of course,
for the final enforcement of
penalties. In the next few
weeks try to think about
such a system. What would
it mean to you? What would
it mean to Behrend? Can
it work here? Is this the
answer to the lack of stu
dent spirit? Would it make
Behrend a real college at
last? Think about it.

SGA ELECTIONS
HELD TODAY
Thursday, April 18, elections will be held to elect four carry over
members and seven Spring representatives to the Behrend Student
Government Association.
Voting will be by paper ballot in the lobby of the Otto F. Behrend
Science Building. The issues up for consideration, besides SGA mem
bership, are: constitutional amendments, the class gift fund and the
election by the student body of a SGA President for the 1963-64 year.
OSGA Conference
At Behrend
On Friday and Saturday, May
17 and 18, Behrend will be host
to the regular Spring Business
Session of the Organization of
Student Government Associations.
It will include, among other busi
ness, Spring elections for officers
of OSGA.
STUDENT UNAWARE
OF WORLD EVENTS
State College students should be more aware of events outside
of the "student world" of the university, Robert J. Trusk, visiting pro
fessor in economics, said recently.
There seems to be no desire to be informed about outside events
except for developments such as the Cuban crisis, when a direct re
lationship exists, he pointed out.
The student's interest scope includes those events directly affect
ing him. Social life seems to be one of the most important interests
of students, Trusk noted.
"But this situation exists on many campuses," he said. Students
should be more informed since a development of public opinion is
necessary with the close involvement of the United States in foreign
affairs. Trusk said.
Little or no pressure is exerted on Congress to find out what
happens to foreign-aid approporiations, Trusk said. Often represen
tatives are concerned only with budgeting and fighting for more or
less money rather than the actual use of the money, he added.
The tendency toward international integration necessitates good
communications between the government and the people, Trusk ex
plained.
"Isolationism is a thing of the past."
In discussing the University, Trusk said, the term system has
more advantages than disadvantages and that discontent is not a
result of the system itself.
"Many students complain pressure results from overloads or be
cause they believe others who say it is bad and then expect it."
However, Trusk said, he is generally impressed with the caliber
of students.
Summer Work
In Europe
Additional American college students may now be eligible for
European travel grants and cash scholarships offered by the American
Student Information Service.
ASIS now plans to boost the number of these grants to be given
from the original 1000 to 1500.
ASIS has more than 3,000 jobs available throughout Europe. Ex
amples of jobs are life-guarding and waiting on tables at Swiss re
sorts, camp counseling at French children's camps (some of which
are in the Paris area) : construction work at international student
work camps on the Spanish Costa Brava; farm work in England's
`Robin Hood' country and on Israeli Kibbutsim near the Sea of Gali
lee; teaching English to children of Finland's leading families; work
ing at a Swedish seaside resort; farm work in Norway; and high
paying factory and construction jobs throughout West Germany.
Wages range from $l9O a month for the highest paying positions in
Germany to only room and board in Spain.
Although ASIS offers complete arrangements with a round-trip
scheduled jet flight, students are free to make their own travel ar
rangements. ASIS expects that many students participating in college
charter flights will also want summer jobs in Europe.
ASIS, the only organization offering summer jobs in Europe to
American students on a large scale, has placed thousands of students
in eleven European countries during the past five years.
For a complete 20-page Prospectus, a complete selection of sum
mer jobs in Europe, and a job application form (enclose $1 for Pro
spectus, handling and airmail reply) write: Dept. C, ASIS, 22 Avenue
