of; . T . I . SG- - , GSA, and OSGA —may
haye voting privileges at Senate
_in*tings extended to them by
' February,. 1970, if the resolu
tion made at this month's- meet
ing is acted on properly.
- Professor Clarks T.- Davis,
chairman of the Senate Com
' - niittee on Undergraduate Student
Affairs presented the 'resolution
to extend this right after a
speech on "Student Voting
4lldits" . was given by Galen C.
Godbey, student member of Dav
is' committee.
"Are we to be a University
-senate, or a faculty senate?" God
bey asked.
Among the reasons given for
Ids request, he included student
accomplishments such as Collo
quy and the Black Arts Festival.
_ Professor Davis agreed that
tthe vote should be extended to
'student members because it
would, "increase sensitivity to
the g needs of the students" and
"increase accountability" of
these needs.
Presently
student members
1110 vote in their respective
'.committees and serve as' 'non

Praf. Davis refuted seven ob-
ietions for not extending the
right; which he considered need

turnover_, in student population,

probability view the matter at

Several problems such as ap
portionment and the probability
of students voting on faculty
matters because there is no fac
ulty body comparable to USG
were brought up in debate.
Godbey's speech also contain
ed details of the USG summer
encampment, which is held. for
students and faculty to discuss
problems.
As a result of Encampment, he
stressed the need to increase the
number of culturally disadvant

Moratorium Committee's Goals
Reached by Student Sincerely
The ceremonies of solemnity were performed with no disturbances Wednesday at Perry Square.
The National Viet Nam War Day of Moratorium was celebrated with sobriety and piousness which
was urged by the National Committee. Its effects at Behrend were the postponement of the Student
Government Association elections until Thursday and Friday, a day long series of discussions, the
morning non-sectarian services, and the wearing of white arm-bands by those concerned students.
In Erie, Gannon College was
the main faction and organizer of
activities for the day. Following a
brief history and explanation of
our involvement in Viet Nam by
Reid McFarland, a tree of life was
planted in Perry Square. The ac
companying photos show the
mood as nearly 1500 people threw
a handful of soil onto the trees
roots.
The most moving event of the
day was the reading of the Viet
Nam War dead. After the name
of - each person the-chant "Dead"
was echoed by the small crowd in
front_ of the Federal Building
which houses the local Draft
Boards.
Bruno Caserta read . the list of
the local dead since 1965 when
Congressman Joseph P. Vigorito
took office. Here is the list along
with Congressman Vigorito's tri
bute:
The Faculty Organizatino of The Behrend Campus—sometimes called the Senate—could per
haps be one of the best student-faculty-administration links to come to Behrend. Being only three
weeks old, and its power Still somewhat undecided, the organization has adopted a constitution de
signed during the spring of this year. According to the constitution, the purpose of- this organiza
tion is "to provide for the education of its student body, to be concerned with the academic envir
onment, to encourage the highest academic standards among the faculty, and to promote those as-.
pects of student life which relate favorably to the educational purposes."
According to the Chairman of
the faculty organization, Mr. Phi

Peacefully Succeeds
"On Memorial Day we paid tri
bute throughout the land to all
Americans lost in all wars from
the Revolution to the present. It
was a fitting tribute. But I wish
today to pay more specific tribute
to those young men from my 24th
Congressional District of Pennsyl
vania who have lost their lives
in Viet Nam.. In the full bloom of
their manhood they went to a
foreign land, fought and died. We
miss them dearly.
Mr. Speaker, I am including in
the record the name-of those-sold
iers whose death in Viet Nam has
been brought to my attention since
I first came to Congress in 1965:
