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. Watch for
further comments about it in the CUB.
