ACADEMICALLY WE STINK It is not uncommon for newspaper editors on t h e Nittany CUB to get into trouble ac— cademically because of the work load they must assume. This is d u e to our staff of "almost five." I would like to suggest something that would provide, possibly, a partial sol— ution to this problem. If performing some sort of function were given the stature of a one credit course r at least this would provide an incentive for students to par— ticipate. • An advisor could judge the individual students , contributions to the CUB and grade accordingly. He, the advisor, would not be expected to assume such a responsibility along with a full load of classes. His com mitment to the paper would be considered a regular subject financially and otherwise. Time and money could be alloted to en able him to spend one class period a week, most likely during common hour,teaching a class in journalism. A seccnd class period could be used to help. with any production or decision-making problem that the staff felt required his assistance The third oeriod could be spent in grading staff contribu— tions. This would not restrict the staff in respect to choice of content, but would serve to make them aware of their mistakes and increase their knowledge of journalistic techniques. However our problem is immediate. Jour— nalism maiors and English majors with some journalistic experience or interest are in abundance on Behrend Campus. Surely there must be one who is willing to aid Behrend's newspaper in growing, improving, and right now coming out on a regular basis.

Presidential aspirant George Wallace has cancelled his Erie visit scheduled for Friday because he was unable to find a lo cation 'or his speech. • His only choice, the Warner Theater could not be reserbed. Evi dently he recieved the five-day weather forecast and decided that he would need shelter from climatic forces. The NAACP is holding a regional conven tion in Erie beginning this Friday. We in the CUB & SGA offices would ap preciate being able to recieve telephone calls after five P.M. [we often are her at ten c'clock] in case one of our houses burns down so we won't have to travel all the way home for nothing. John Dauber shaved off his beautiful beard and killed his complexion. Yes!!! The FUGS [givjomh dirty old men] have released a new album entitled "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest". This latest effort is packed with goodies like "Crys tal Liason" and "Ramses II is Dead My Love", both truly artistic compositions, and "Rob inson Crusoe" and "Grope Need" both hilari ous songs under one minute long. This album is a marked improvement both musical-wise and depth of thought-wise, and is very well worth buying solely for the musical contert. Erie is going to be the first city out— side of New York City to receive a certain musical—comedy at Christmastime.
