Service Inadequate
During the time that classes
have been in session at Behrend, the
Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority
has provided bus service to and from
Perry Square and the RUB parking lot.
Since the buses have run, complaints
have been made time and time again.
The schedule does riot permit a resi
dent student to shop in the afternoon
(if he can catch the 12:35 P.M. bus)
and return to campus in time to eat
in the cafeteria. If a student miss
es the 6:10 P.M. bus, he must find a
suitable place to wait for the next
bus which comes at 9:45 P.M. This is
not the safest situation for a female
student to find herself in. A number
of students go home for the weekend
and find it necessary to get to town
to catch a bus leaving Erie. With
the present schedule, it is almost
impossible to do so. They have to
hunt for a kind commuter who is will
ing to run a taxi service.
'At the last meeting of S.G.A.
this problem was presented. A pro
posed schedule has been worked out
acid tie Erie Metropolitan Transit Au
thority has it now.

Expansion Continues
Increasing student, enrollment necessi—
tated the expansion of many facilities at
Behrend. Recently finished projects include
the opening of the Reed Union Building, the
Residence Hall and the renovation of Turn—
b,lll Hall into a classroom—faculty office
complex. Other improvements concerning cam—
pus expansion are currently in progress or
are just being completed.
To accomodate a larger volume of commu—
ter traffic, the newly black—topped RUB
parking lot provides space for about 100 ve—
hicles. Although this area has been in use
previot'sly, the addition of white lines and
designated spaces makes it more accessible.
Four asphalt tennis courts are also
being constructed adjacent to the Erie Hall
parking lot, increasing recreational facili—
ties, expecially for the dorm students.
Besides work already done around the
Reed Building, further landscaping is plan—
ned for other parts of the campus, princi—
pally near the entrance at Station Road.
Because of the building of the new dorms on
the hill, a drainage system is being put in
to carry surface water down to the creek.
There are a number of future projects
still under consideration at University Park
involved in Behrendts eventual plans to be—
come a four year college.
chairman Randy Kinkead has indicated
that Erie Hall will be converted into
a huge CRANBERRY.
This gala affair will cost $3.00
per couple and tickets may be obtain
ed from Sue Dahl, ticket chairman, or
any staff member.
The entire staff is anxiously
looking forward to a good turn out
for the dance. So fellows, grab your
self a date and make it to the Cot
illion.
