VOL. XVII, No. 1
No doubt you t ve heard a lot about the
S.G.A. since the beginning of this term,
and by now, you realize that the S.G.A.
is probably the most important organiza
tion on Campus.
The Student Government Association
serves as the connecting link between
the students and the faculty and adminis
tration. The S.G.A. sponsors activities
and appropriates money for the activi
ties of other Clubs.
The members are full-time students
with at least a 2.00 cumulative average.
They are expected to be dedicated and
sincere in making Behrend a better Campus.
Carry-over members on the S.G.A. from
last year include President Tom O'Connor,
Vice President Bill Cook, Steve Fine, and
Beth Kra-schneske. The new members are
Dick Fasenmeyer, Pam Plasha, Wayne Sasala,
Jim Hiner, Jim Barickman, Jim Trozzo,
Frank Polimene, Jeff Disend, Bob Dean,
and Bob Michaels.
Even though you may not be a member
of the S.G.A., you can help them by
going to activities sponsored by them.
If you have any suggestions for im
proving Behrend Campus, see any member of
the S.G.A. and your suggestion will be
discussed at the next meeting. The min
utes of all meetings are posted in Erie
Hall on the bulletin boards.
WANT A JOB IN EUROPE?
Every student in America can get a
summer job in Europe and a travel grant
by applying directly to the European
headquarters of the American Student In
formation Service in Luxembourg. Jobs
are much the same as student sumnf , r vork
in the United States with employers
S . G .A .
Behrend Campus, Erie, Pa.
offering work periods ranging from
three weeks to permanent employment.
Lifeguarding, office work, resort
hotel jobs, factory, construction, camp
counseling and farm work are only a few
categories to be found among the 20,000
jobs ASIS has on file. An interezting
summer pastime not found in America is
tutoring. Numerous well-to-do
European families are inviting American
college students to spend the summer
with them and teach their children
English.
Wages range to $4OO a month, and in
most cases neither previous experience
nor knowledge of a foreign language is
required. ASIS, in its ninth year of
operation, will place more American
students in summer jobs in Europe this
summer than ever before.
Students interested in working in
Europe next summer may write directly
to Dept. 11, ASIS, 22 Ave. de la
Liberte, Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, enclosing $2 for the
ASIS 35-page booklet which contains
all jobs, wages, working conditions,
etc., job and travel grant applications
and to cover the cost of handling and
overseas air mail postage.
EDITORIAL
The fact that the recent S.G.A.
elections was not really an election is
striking proof of one fact. This fact
is not that the S.G.A. is no longer the
prestige organization on Campus or that
this year's S.G.A. will not function
well because its members were not
chosen through an elective process. I
am quite sure that this year's S.G.A.
will be reasonably competent. The
point is that most students have an
extremely narrow view of education. To
