Whether or not students are al4ard
of it, S.G.A. spends a lot of time each
week doing things for the betterment of
the campus. The S.G.A. minutes are
'posted each week by Jan Puzar on the
bulletin hoard of the 0.8. Building, so
that there is no excuse for ignorance
as to what S.G.A. does. Meetings, as
in all organizations, are a little dull
for those who do not belong to the
organization, but in S.G.A. they are
open for the curious or school-spirited.
So far very few have come.

is now Pennsylvania's Lt. Governor, was
invited to the campus for an informal
meeting with Behrend students. S.G.A.
sponsored this, furnished refreshments,
made posters, and handled publicity in
town.
All University Day took a lot of
planning on the part of S.G.A. For two
entire days S.G.A. members worked in
'hifts to see that the money was col
lected, and there was always someone
in the 0.8. Building lounge to see
that this was taken care of. S.G.A.
made transportation and accomodation
arrangements, and those familiar with
Penn State's drastic overcrowdedness
know how difficult it is to house
200 students for the weekend. In addi
tion, S.G.A. committee made a large
banner for the banner contest. It
took a lot of time.
S.G.A. repaired the pool equip

The president's board meets each
week to co-ordinate activities on campus,
and to see that several events don't

ject which will include all students and'
organizations, and take-place February
11-13.
The Faculty Evaluation which was
