Conscience Knows
No Age Limit
_Although seemingly many area students supported the
Moratorium festivities, a greater and much more tangible
campaign raged quietly by at the same time screamingly
determinitive throughout the night. A handful of real. per
sons, honest with. themselves, shouldered the banner for
the whole community long after the "week-end hippies" had
thinned. There were but a few and no matter how chapped,
- warbly or weak their voices became, emotions charged the
atmosphere almost enough to reclaim those lives being
mourned. --
I have never felt so much warmth and caring among
human beings in my entire life. All were there: Blacks,
Whites, young and old; long-hairs, short-hairs, every mode.
I saw and grasped touchingly a leathered, coarse and pitiful
man in his seventies, blanket a young lady with his coat
leaving himself with nothing else other than a short sleeved
shirt to stifle the clammy clench of the miserable night air.
A young lad in turn comforted the old man with his blanket.
Neither of them actually felt the need for clothing; each
had the warmth of glowing understanding to console him.
Understanding. This is what each and every person,
real person, found within himself and others that night;
and where understanding flourishes, hate and prejudices
cannot possibly. I feel very deeply this was the beginning
of an end to conflict between persons, which contrasts very
essentially with conflict between ideas. Let this not be the
end of such a worthwhile spark; kindle with an open mind.
Apathy Of Students
Dissappointing Show
:An Open Letter To The Students Of Behrend Campus
As one of the organizers of the Moratorium Day activities I would
"like - . to express my disappointment with the members - of the student
body. There were ever 300 students that pledged their support to the
Moratorium Day activities, and only about 50 that followed up with
thi's pledge. If this is any indication of the participation of- Behrend
Cadmus in future activities, then we can forget our ideas -of being
recognized as a responsible and respectable body.
There were at least 20 people that dedicated themselves to or
ganizing these very. important activities. Their optomism was -shat
tered-by- those who felt that October 15 . was just an- excuse - to miss
classes. These low-thinking people not only disillusioned Members of
the student body, but faculty and- administrative members also felt
eur dejection.

Jerry Richeson
New Coordinator
Jerry Richeson, 23, is Behrend
Campus' new Residence Coordina
tor and Assistant to the Dean of
Student Affairs.
Mr. Richeson; a native of lowa,
attended Northeast Missouri State
Colege. He has a Bachelor's De
gree in History and a Master's
Degree in Counseling. Before corn
ing to Behrend, Mr. Richeson was
a high school counselor.
Richeson is responsible for al
most every activity in the Resi
dence Halls; student conduct,
hostesses, resident assistants, and
a developmental Residence Hall
program which, in the future, in
cludes a series of lectures and
films on drug use.
When asked if he had the auth
ority to change Residence Hall
rules, 'which is the question most
often asked, he said, "I am the
one who carries out policies rather
than the one who makes them.
But, it is possible for Dean Seanor
and me to do coordinate work on
the matter."
The CUB welcomes this new ad
ministrator to our family.
Help Wanted!
The Maintenance Department
requests your cooperation to
eliminate the practice of attach
ing papers to walls, windows, and
woodwork by the use of adhesive
tapes, such as scotch tape, draft
ing tape, etc., or by the use of
thumb tacks, staples or other sim
ilar devices.
When tape is removed from sur
faces it invariably pulls with it
the paint or if not, leaves a de
posit of adhesive compound. When
repainting is done, it must first
be removed or paint will not ad
here to the surface. Tacks, or
staples, mar the surface which
also requires treatment when re
decorating is done.

Charly On The World
If a dorm student becomes ill during the night, who does he turn
to for professional medical treatment on campus? .Answer—no one!
As a matter of tact : students are only expected to become sick, in
jured, or even die during the hours of 8 a.m. to 10 pm. on Monday
through Thursday, 8 am. to 6 p.m. on Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 am. on
Saturday, and on Sunday, everyone is expected to be perfectly healthy.
These, by the way, are the hours of our understaffed and overworked
dispensary here at beautiful Behrend.
Isn't it surprising that - at a
school with an enrollment of over
one thousand students there are
only two nurses to man an office
in alternating shifts? To further
show how antiquated the dispen
sary is run, the Cub found out,
that, after 5 p. m. on the week
days there is no phone service to
the nurses and that .on _Saturday
there is none . at all. In order to
send messages to the outside
world during these hours,--the-wo
men must. send a runner 'CO Whoni-:
evei. they: wish to 'speak. That's
carrying" tradition a little too far,
wouldn't you. say?
Ori the other' hand, the adinin
istration- felt it -necessary- to- turn
the regulation of campus parking
over to: the - Erie County Sheriff's
Department; who patrol the camp
us on a 24-hour basis. This is a

. • It -- has come to the attention of the CUB that on a portion of
Station Road. that pottion between Athens Road and the bridge over
Four-Mile Creek, here are two speed signs that are completely illegible.
The reason that we have taken an interest in - thse - signs is because
several Students, including the- editor of the CUB, have been stopped
for speeding in this zone. The
section of Station Road from I
-90 to Atheng Road is posted at
45 mph. After this section, head
ing • north, the speed changes to
35 mph. A person not knowing
the changed speed requirements,
travels- at the same rate of speed
in the 35 mph zone as he would
in the 45 mph section. This has
been the case in several of the
ticketing incidents. In order to
know how fast one is able to
travel on a road, one must have
signs to tell him
In an attempt to see what
could be done about the situation,
CUB reporter Charly Lee con
tacted Mr. Elmer Bolte of the
Pennsylvania Highway Depart
ment. He said that the section
of the road of which we were
speaking was maintained by the
Harborcreek Township Streets
Department. Mr. Bolte stated
that the state does not post 35

substantial increase in staff and
funds from the preceeding year.
If you'll recall, last year only a
•hairdful *of Behrend employees
handled the ticketing job, and I
might add, with a high degree of
efficiency.
The question is now, how can
one student -service exand so
greatly while another still trods in
the Dark Ages? Dean Lane says
-that the -entire problem centers
around a money shortage. "We
are operating on -a' zero budget
right now. Until the legislature
moves, we have to -still function
on last year's set budget", ex
pained the Dean. -Maybe things
will change at the beginning of
next year, but that still 'doesn't
explain how we pay all these po

mph signs. Thus we contacted
the proper -authorities in Har
borcreek, where we were greeted
with "But sir, the State Depart
ment of Highways maintains that
part of Station Road."
After the nameless Harbor
creek official was informed that
he was the one who maintained
the disputed section of the road,
he said he did not want to be
come involved in an argument
with the state. However when
the subject was pushed by us, he
relented and said that he might
sneak up and post two new 35
mph signs.
Keep your eye on the road side
for the new signs, they might be
erected by at least next January.
In the mean time watch your
speed.
(Editor's Note: This article
was written Monday. Since then
(Tuesday, to he precise) new
signs have been posted on this
stretch of highway.
