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.

The CU3 would like
extend its Cougratulations
all those who made llonors.
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.

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.
