C. GRADUATE CENTER NOW IN SESSION Dr. Spaulding, Schoca Behrend will fill a unique commu— nity need with the opening of its new?, graduate school this term. Urged by local industry, university officialst decided to begin the graduate program, which will ,give a degree in Master of 7ngineering with a mq)or in 3ngineering cience. 3chrend is the first local, )liege t)offer graduate study in this ; rea. Teachers, for the most part, from the business world who have )ractical experience in their areas of instruction. new staff members are: Mr. Anthony Salvia Mr. David Hpde Mr. Matthew J. Smith Chowdlausi Dr. P. Seventy—six applications were_ re— ceived for this term, and Dr. David Spalding, director crthe graduate cen— ter, said that future enrollment will reach 200-300. He also stated that a Master of Administration degree will eventually be offered. Since the pro— grams of our local colle 6 es are set up in complementary directions, it is un— likely that M.S. or M.A. degrees will be offered. Classes are held during the even ing, regulations permittinc a fully employed person to carry ovly one tree credit course per term. The minimum requirement of 30 credits must be com pleted in six years. Students must also obtain at least a "B" grade in each course and do an engineering report. These requirements are added for two reasons. Primarily, they serve as in surance against the possibiliey cestu dent skills becoming obsolete by grad uation. Ilsuch an ever-expanding field this is entirely possible. They also ascertain that there is sufficient motivation on the part of the student and that he will not be overburdened academically. In organization and adffrinttrative policy, Behrend's graduate school will be similar to King of Prussia center. King of Prussia graduate school is the first one to be set up at a branch campus. Located onside of Philadelphi, it has been in operation for six years now and has been proven to be an in— valuable aid to community education. Hopefully, our graduate center will make a similar contribution to educa— ti.on'in Erie. LIONS Squeeze Asst. Dean of Behrend Campus •p de • full al: is .tta Volume :AN.

Make It Eighteen is a nonpar tisan, nonprofit organization ded icated to lowering the voting age to eighteen. It includes high school and college students and adults who believe that these youngsters should have the right to vote. The basic premise of a de..:.a cracy asserts that all those who help to bear the burdens of so ciety should share in making its decisions. Americans between the ages of 18 and 21 certainly help share the burdens of our society. Many of these young people have full employment and a sur prising number of students hold part time jobs. They pay federal state and local taxes. They con tribute to many community pro jects. The vast majority of men in the Armeg Forces are not old enough to vote. Many thousands of these young men are serving in Vietnam as non-commissioned aid commissioned officers. ea-mlnq up Once again the Cub is presenting its annual challenge to the Faculty to participate in the Fac ulty/Cub Basketball Game on January 18. One of the highlights of Winter Term, it gives everyone a chance to take out their frustrations on the Cub and/or Faculty. Students, see your favorite teacher "out of bounds." Faculty, see the students who never show up for class. Cheer the Cub to vic tory--or defeat. Be a sport and come to the most-illegal game of the season.
