    TEE MARK OF 1-1 BEHREND bTUDENT
During that horrible week of Customs, the
Behrend "Hello Spirit" was stressed.- This "Hello
Spirit is the one distinguishing mark of a student
from Behrend. Friends at University Park have re
ported to the Nittany Cub that we should stress the
"Hello Spirit." They say that out of the masses
of students at the main campus almost every Behrend
student will go completely out of his way to say
hello to another Behrend student. This is a result
of the "Hello Spirit" being stressed at the Behrend
Campus, a spirit that is not forgotten once you
have left the Campus itself.
Going to - aehrend establishes a concrete com
mon ground with everybody else who went to Behrend.
The Hub (the central University Park student union
building) is frequently the scene of Behrend re
unions, an example of the never dying spirit that
the typical Behrend student possesses.
The Freshmen are still to new to completely
understand this feeling the Sophomores call the
Behrend spirit, but by Spring Term we guarantee
this spirit will be an inseparable part of every
freshman, as it is now a part of every sophomore.
Start developing the spirit now. The next
time you pass another student or faculty member
say "hello"--it's not much, but meaning behind
the "Hello Spirit" is fulfilling and lasting.
HARRY BRITTON SYMBOL OF FREEDOM
Harry Britton, the lone striker against the
General Electric Company, is truely an outstand
ing example of the freedom we possess as Americans.
Mr. Britton was fighting for a just cause, and
although it is quite a complicated situation any
body who takes time to review his problem will
come to this conclusion.
"Good of Harry" as he is sometimes referred
to by Erieites, has recently been committed to
Warren State Mental Hospital for . an examination.
Whether or not Harry is mentally ill is not the
point. The fact that Britton had enough "nerve"
to stand up and defy a company as powerful and
as large as the G.E. for what he thought was •
right l ,is.the reason we must givheglyi,clue . .:
Credit. Hairy Britton has shown the ioidetliiied
conservative. "stuffed shirt" Erieites that this
is truely America and we can stand up and fight
for what we know is right.
In view of democrati' principals and legiti
mate representation, I would like to propose to
the Student Affairs Committee that their next
order of business should be to draft a constitution,
let the students radify it (if acceptable), and
then have a popular election of SGA members.
The Homecoming Weekend has been foremost in
everybody's schedules, and rightly so. But the
issue cannot drift. We must have a constitution,
and we must have more than a temporary. board
elected SGA. The committee should see the need
to take immediate action following the homepaming,
and settle this problem as soon as possible. The
Nittany Cub hopes that the chosen committee can
and will accept this responsibility.of writing a
new constitution the Behrend Campus SGA. Let's
see some positive results!!
SGA ELECTIONS
BJTTERS CONCJ!IRT
Last Sunday the Behrend Campus pr
presented the Harold Betters Quartet
the enjoyment of the city of Erie and fac
ulty. Behrend student must have thought
Harold had the "raague," .as there were
coniparatively very few B.C. students in the
crowd. A unanimous opinion rmong the few
who were brave enough to face "getting the
plaguw" was that Betters was fantastic.
The next time the Behrend Campus proudly
presents something let's be proud...of our
attendance!
MAGIC MARVEL 'WADES BX. LIBRARY
Miss "K" Schumacher has just revealed
that the campus library now has a copying
machine. For one thin sandwich dime, this
machine will turn on for you...and will
copy pages from books, magazines, and al
most any printed material. This is just
another time saving device installed by tie
school for your convenience.
