1 ost-Election Polit President Jdweli The administration - is con stantly emphasizing the changes at Behrend. In line with this are the recent changes in'Student Gov ernment officials. This paper, as well as the candidates, hope the changes are not to be nominal only Harold - (Arnie) Caldwell hopes to elicit more student involvement in school affairs. Next year the students will have the added ad- vantage of a Student Judiciary Committee. In innovation which any student should appreciate. The committee will be composed of six students (not necessarily SGA mem hers) appointed by SGA, to rule on disciplinary action against stu dents. Anyone may have his case taken before the aommit.tee-with_a. minimum of red-tape...in itself a permutation for Behrend. This, "rowever, entails greater responsi bility for the student; it will be his right and privilege to make use of the committee - it is only iloped that the students do not ne glect this innovation as they have in the past. Arnie also aspires to effect a Grievance. Committee which v:r)uld meet regulirly to hear student oomplaints. Its purpose would ,o establish b.ttter com munication and empathy between the SGA and members of the student body,. (CON'TT) Chairman Lackovic One of the changes wrought by ~he new constitution will be the reation of position of Chairman of ..G.A. The first person to assume his position will be Gary Lackovic. his position is comparable to that f Vice-President in the respect hat he presides over meetings but uperior 'in that the Chairmen wields lore power. It is in his dictum to c hoose the subjects which are taken retore the S.G.A. He and the Presi ent work closely and have a their utual objectives the arousal of 'student interet and the participa- ion and involvement of Behrend in Inter-campus affairs. Gary advocates ore involvement on the part of 'ehrend , its students and govern :nents. He hopes through cooperation dth-the-olther-Commonwealth Campuses o take Behrend from its position as an isolated memberof the Penn sylvania State University to an Integrated part of the Penn State complex. In this vein he has al eady started to communicate with : he other campuses to try to organ ize a huge beach party after grad ation, and plans for next years Orientation Week and All-U Day. , The new officers, the new year; th new form of constitution - all be speak progress. With student, sup-:: :sort all of the objectives th hese three officers have Set forth Student involvebmat and participat— tion and activity on'the Fart ofße rend will be achieved. Treasurer Burger James Burger is also anxious to effect progress. As a member of the Cultural Committee, he advocates more student activities such as movies, lectures, con=certs, a coffee house, art festivals and anything else of cultural or intellectual value which may be brought to Beh rend. He also feels better student faculty relations, perhaps through coffee clatches, would benefit the student-body. By participating in student affairs,-Jim hopes to be able to represent them in voting on issues of interest to them in SGA. Behrend is in the progress of expansion and maturation. There fore its financial needs are great. Since Jim is tret-8-urer he intends to do his best to allocate enough funds from the main campus to sus tain Behrend's growth. The unifying force behind these candidates aimes is the need for more student support and involvement. Each of us, as a member of the Beh rend ciampus student body, has the responsibility and the trivilege f helping to shape the events and history o Behrend.
