Editorial
One of the latest topics of dis
cussion around campus has been
the deficient grade reports which
were sent to parents of students
doing poorly in one or more sub
jects. It seems that many students
don't like the idea of having their
parents know that they are fail
ing a subject and they commence
to knock the administration for
"publicizing" their grades. They
argue that it is up to the student
to inform his parents that he is
doing poorly in school but, how
many of these people would ac
tually tell their parents
These people just don't realize

The SGA has received the club
charters from University Park.
These charters show recognition
of Behrend's organization and will
be displayed in the library.
The SGA elected three new

The proposed Student Hand

They are not sent out to give the
parents a reason to punish their
son or daughter but to let them
know that he or she is deficient
in a subject and that they should
see to it that extra emphasis is
put on that subject. That is why
they are sent out just after mid
terms. The students have a half
of a term to improve their grade.
These students should therefore
be praising the administration in
stead of ridiculing them.

S. G. A. ROBBED
Sometime during the evening of
Wednesday, February 10, and the
morning of Thursday, February
11. the Student Government As
sociation's office in Erie Hall was
robbed.
Unfortunately, a large sum of
cash was lost; approximately $3OO,
including the wall safe which was
also taken.
Everything was intact when
Erie Hall was locked up for the
night on Wednesday. But upon the
arrival of Bill Cook for his office
hour, on Thursday morning, the
only evidence that a safe had
been in the SGA office was two
little holes in the wall, where the
safe had formerly been secured.
Bill's alarm promptly brought
numerous members of the State
Police out to the Campus. Treas
urer Tom O'Connor was sum
moned from home to evaluate the
loss, and to give the details of
the contents of the safe. The sur
rounding areas of Behrend were
thoroughly searched in an effort
to turn up the missing safe.

311. Boucke at University Park.
Mr. Bedford. of Behrend Campus

Availability of the DAFT Pro -
gramming, language for the IBM

nounced by Donald T. Laird, Di
rector of the Center. Preparation
of the DAFT compiler and associa

provide useful language extensions.
Programmers who have previ
ously been using FORTRAN are
encouraged to direct their future
programming to DAFT.
