III\TDS FACILITI7S The library is not waiting for construc tion of the new Study and Learning Center to furthur its growth and expansion. It cannot wait because the growing influx of students to Behrend is calling for expansion and im provement right now. Our library can now accomodate eighty students through the recent addition of two carrel units. These units, each of which has four sections, enable the individual to have a quiet, private place to read or study. Each section consists of a desk level shelf and a smaller one above it where books and materials may be placed. These sections are enclosed on three sides by a sound-proofing material which shuts out many of the sounds of the room. Another addition has been made to the refer ence room. This unit accomodates the Cummu lative Books Index on slide out shelves. It also has room for other reference books and indexes such as The Reader's Guide to Periodical Swimming Literature. These are only two of the many new improve ments of the library. Miss Schmaker says that by the cumin? Fall Term, the hallway dividing the reference amd reading rooms will also be in use. This is even furthur testament to the growth of Behrend Campus. Basketball ihe Behrend Cubs thaveled to York last week end with the best team in the school history only to run into season jinx, Johnstown. For the third time this year Johnstown triumphed, this game by a convincing 101-76 score. Behrend was only in the game for the first eight minutes as Joe Williams had ten points SPORTS to keep the Cubs alive. Dehrend then cooled off 'but Johnstwon kept hitting with its usual accuracy. Ron Green of Johnstown hit on thirteen of his first fourteen shots. The Cubs just couldn't seem to get going as the entire team saw action. Joe Williams was high for the Cubs with 25 while Ron Hornyak and Barney Etzel each added 9 points. Coach Sweeting said that the Johns town club simply played better ball and there were no excuses to be offered. He emphasized that everyone played a good game and he was extremely proud of the entire team. Summing up the season, the Coach said that he was very pleased and added that the team was "not only a group of great athletes, but gentle men as well." Ask of the prospects for next year, lro Sweeting could only say that he was really looking forward to next season. The team will badly miss the services of sophomores Dan Casane, Dan Chase, and Frank Rumsey, who played an out standing season, but will have Joe s;ialliams, Ron Hornyak, Barney Etzel, Tom Taylor, Randy Lachowski, Bruce Reinhart, Bob Olszewski, and Al Sceiford returning. Vallliams in currently awaiting classification by the draft board and his return is uncertain. With the return of so much experience the outlook is very good for another great season. The Point Park Invitational Swimming Meet will be held at Pittsburg Friday, March 11. Although Behrend has no or ganized swimming team, we have partici pated for the last three years and a number of individuals have scored wins. This year about ten men will partici pate. Sophomores Chuck McKoy, 100 yard backstroke winner last year, and Bob Spalding and Tom Sadoski, both second place finishers last year will form the nucleus of the team. .Scott Zinger, a freshman, is also a good prospect in the butterfly. Mr. Sweeting reminded all those plan ning to make the trip to attend practice next Monday at the downtown v.M.C.A. Entries must be submitted by Tuesday.
