DEAR CHARLY
(Anyone having a question on
anything, please send your ques
tion to Charly Lee, c/o Publica
tions Office. Reed Union Building,
Behrend Campus.)
Dear Charly:
Why does the cafeteria look
like a pig's pen?
Signed, Louie Nye
Dear Mr. Nye:
The reason that the cafeteria
looks like a pig's pen is because
many of the students who eat
there are pigs! Here is my story.
. . . This is the cafeteria. Peo
ple eat here. They also make a
mess. When they make a mess, I
clean it up. I'm a busboy. I carry
a broom. My name is Lee. (Up
with the appropriate music.) In
the course of the supper hour, it
is my job to sweep the floor of
the snack-a-teria. On the floor
I find such things as discarded
copies of the Nittany Cub, what
looks like pig entrails, and in gen
eral, a lot of shit It's not a pretty
sight - . . . (So much for the the
atrics).
Despite the pleas of "Shaky"
Z. the Student Union Director,
the deluge of garbage still contin
ues Ito rain upon the floor of the
overburdened cafeteria. This
would seem to indicate that upon
applying to the University, that
students should be asked !when
they were toilet-trained, or if they
even know what toilet-training is!
If this was done, I think the re
sults would set the University
back 125 years.
As a solution to the problem,
"PROJECT PEOPLE"
Pfc., Greg Rolland, an Erie
serviceman in Vietnam, has been
writing to the American Govern
ment students at Erie's St. Bene
dicts Academy. He's been telling
them of the starvation and devas
tation that is omnipresent in that
tormented country. The students'
reaction to the letters has been
one of postive action to help alle
viate the food problem. They pack
food and articles in crates, and
send them directly to the private
so that he might have something
to give to the starving throngs
that he comes in contact with
daily.
What does this have to do with
Behrend students? Well, Jennie
CHARLY
I might suggest that Mr. Findly
buy a goat to patrol the area and
eat the garbage that never makes
it to the trash barrels. ( (Or Mr.
Findly could eat it himself.) I
don't think a goat in a pig's pen
is strange. Gee, maybe we could
make a movie out of it and call
it "Guess Who's Coming To Din
ner," that's pretty original.
In any event. I think that the
problem 'of "why the cafeteria
looks like a pig's pen could be
solved best by our psychology de
partment; they're well-versed in
psychological abnormalities of
Children. They might come up
with a concrete solution.
But for now. Louie, since you
have to eat in Behrend's cafeteria
with the other 13th and 14th grad
ers. I would suggest you do four
things: 1) bring a pair of high
stilts so you can wade through the
garbage without contacting jun
glerot, 2) bring a shovel and a rag
to shovel out and wipe -off the
table of your choice, 3) bring a
can of disinfectant to spray your
immediate eating area and, 4)
bring a pocket-size dictionary of
pig=latin so you can communicate
with your fellow hungry students.
Signed, Charly
Yearick of 137 Niagara Hall is
presently considering initiating
PROJECT PEOPLE, a program
that will undertake the mission of
feeding some of Vietnam's -foodless
population.
"PROJECT PEOPLE is the es
sence of man's humanity to man,"
said Jennie. "We need dedicated
people to work in this mission of
mercy. If we are successful here
at Behrend, an inter-college sys
tem may be set up within the Erie
area colleges to send food to Viet
nam." If you wish to become in
volved with PROJECT PEOPLE.
call Jennie at 899-1063.
Incidently, the food will be sent

THE NITTANY CUB
Ecology Day
An Open Letter to Students and
Faculty:
Are you aware of the signifi
cance of April 22? This is the day
when a nationwide Environmen
tal Teach-In is scheduled to take
place. Already thousands of cam
puses have begun to plan pro
grams meant to dramatize the
ecological ills threatening the
world, and to develop programs
of action.
The Teach-In was sponsored by
Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.) and
Rep. Pete McCloskey (R-Cal.)
with the intent of• channeling
some of the constructive energy
and idealism of students toward
the environmental crisis. As en
visioned by these legislators the
agenda should be planned and in
itiated by students. It might in
clude panel discussions, symposia,
displays or other ormats that
will emphasize the seriousness of
the situation.
Since the iniative has not been
taken by the Students (perhaps
because they didn't know of the
Teach-In) and the time is grow
Gannon's Position
On Drug Abuse
As stated in a previous CUB
article, Gannon College is initia
ting a Drug Abuse policy to assist
in handling the student involved
in the illegal use of the controlled
drugs. The basic text of the ar
ticle was taken from the Erie
PRESS which stated that ". ..the
Police will be given the right to
search and seizure but will make
no arrests."
However, the CUB office was
given an official Gannon College
Student Bulletin by Rev. Law
rence T. Speice, Dean of Students
which made no such statement
referring to "no arrests."
What the bulletin said was:
"The college intends to cooperate
with civil authorities in the iden
tification and apprehenson of the
student drug abusers, and to that
end, the College reserves the right
to seek the assistance of civil au
thorities in the process of search
and seizure . . . Gannon College
will attempt to work out a method
of operation with local, state, and
federal authority."

On Appropriations
Dear Mr. Kinkead
I have a rather pacifying bit of
news
,for the Behrend students
and would like to share it with.
them.
While visiting down at State
this past weekend, I had the good
fortune to speak with the secre
tary of the Vice President of Pub
lice Relations, who also happens
to be my aunt. She has had this
position with the University for
the past some twenty odd years
and hence I feel safe in placing
my confidence in what news she
divulges to me. I got to rapping
to her about the appropriations
that haven't gone through and she
said quote, "Those appropriations
are expected to go through Mardb
10th."
I would like to point out that
what she said was purely specula
tion; however, as.' said, I do place
my confidence in her, and if this
is any indication of what is to
come, then I feel that the pres
sure the students land parents
have applied is taking its' toll.
Keep up the pressure and urge
your friends and parents to apply
it also if you don't care for a
raise in tuition.
Sincerely,
James M. Ott

to an alphabetical division of
names. All students must register
at the assigned time.
