Green, director WHAT IS CONTINUING EDUCATION Since the beginning of the fall term, Behrend students have ques tioned the purpose of the white building behind the library. To escape punishments of court dur ing customs, all freshmen knew this building as the Continuing Education office. The question re mains, what does the Continuing Department do? Continuing Education is a com paratively new name for activities previously included under General Extension. It is one of three edu cational purposes of the Pennsyl vania Land Grant college. The other two areas are resident edu cation and research. Mr. William Mosso, District Administrator of Continuing Education Services, di rects department operations in an eight-county area. He is assisted by Mr. James Donaldson. This year the department boasts a rec ord enrollment for the Behrend night program of 447 students. Through the functions of Con tinuing Education men and wom en who have completed their high school education have the oppor tunity to obtain better jobs by improving and upgrading their knowledge in a chosen field. The program of study, including cours es in Business Management, Elec tronics, Fundamentals of Design, Inspection and Quality Control and Production Management, is adapted to the needs of local in dustries and businesses. Coopera tive services are offered to indus tries and businesses to improve the development and operation of training programs. Divisions of the programmed studies provide opportunities for THE NITTANY CUB of the chapter's education com mittee; Sullivan; A. L. Carlucci, secretary; W. R. Ricket, vice-presi dent of the Erie Chapter; and Irvin H. Hochel, director of the Behrend Campus. motivated adults. The Evening Technical Institute, a three-year program offered on the Behrend Campus, is the largest in this area. There are 119 three or five-year curriculum students enrol le d. Teachers may acquire advance credit toward degrees, certifica tion requirements or increased salary through courses offered in Graduate Education. This fall the Graduate Engineering program will confer its first degrees to stu dents completing their masters in Engineering. In the Nursing Edu cation program, basic sciences are taught to freshman nursing stu dents of Hamot, Meadville, and Oil City hospitals. Informal or special courses, ranging from a one-day seminar to a sixteen-week pro gram, fulfill specific education needs. The Center for Continuing Liberal Education conducts study discussion groups in which topics in the arts, humanities, and so cial sciences are considered. Sched uled presentations for this year include Evolution and Man, For eign Policy in Western Politics, Great Issues in Education, and Great Western Faiths. Staff members are University faculty, business specialists, edu cators, and graduate engineers. The services of Continuing Edu cation are not so far removed from Behrend students as one might think. Education does not end after one receives his diploma. Technology has made education boundless. Continuing Education provides man a means to better himself, improve his occupation and expand his ideas. Man, him self, must put forth the effort. November 9, 1963 Behrend Beats Buffalo The Behrend soccer team com pleted its 1963 season Wednesday, October 30 with a 3 to 2 victory over Buffalo State. The Cubs took a fast lead with goals by Tom Bundy and Harry Palmer. Al though both teams exhibited fine playing ability, at the half the score was still 2-0. After the half Buffalo romped through the near-freezing temper atures to score two quick goals to tie the game. It was late in the third period before Behrend's Russ Storll broke up the tie wtih a score on a well executed Dave Crowe pass. Coach Sweeting wa s quite pleased with the team's showing. He felt the game with Buffalo was one of the best all season, show ing many fine examples of team strength. The score in this as in all the games this year didn't really indi cate the true team balance and power. It might be interesting, to note that seven different team members scored goals throughout the very short season. Inside left Dave Crowe was high scorer for the year with three goals; inside right Tom Bundy and center for ward Willi Schickhaus had two scores apiece; Harry Palmer and Russ Storll, outside right and left respectively, each had one apiece. Also Bill Harding the most regu lar playing sub scored a goal. Finally last but by far not least, center halfback John Hutchins scored the 40-yard goal, the team's longest of the season. This year the fine offense was only surpassed by the even finer defense. Mention must be made of the six backfield men who held their opponents to three goals in three games against college com petition. The three experienced men in the backfield were goalie Tom Larson, who had six good saves in the Buffalo game alone, and the two fullbacks, Sam Heller and Tom Irish. Out front the three fast moving halfbacks were Jerry Narducei, John Hutchins, and Tom Galliger. No team would be complete without a strong reserve force. This year Behrend had one of the strongest: Jerry Altman, Bill Harding, Herb Koeber, Emil Pialet, and Stan Prussia. In its short span of existence this year the team has made a name for itself, not only in Buf falo, but wherever it has gone. The coach hopes to have a bigger and better schedule next year and hopes to see a lot of fellows out for the team.
