S.G.A. Bulletin Board
Many _Behrend students are - un
aware of the S.G.A. and their work.
Thus, these students have no way of
knowing what matters - the S.G.A. has
under consideration, what issues are
being acted upon, or how S.G.A. has
- , -been handling such continuing prob
lems as• *University involvement etc.
Therefore, we propose-that the 'S.G.A.
STUDENT COLORS SHOWN
By Gary Thornbloom
CUBMarinil!) . g Editor
The last few weeks have wit
--nessed the rattling of a few minds
here at tranquil Behrend. Student
apathy now has the potential for
the beginning of student power.
Back patting is not in order pet
because there 'is still a long way
go.
The proposed boycott of class
es ' , over the "Behrend 3" issues
died due to lack of interest. Mr.
Kochel takes round one but
ghosts of the past may haunt him
at a later date.
It appears at this time that
both the (faculty and students are
letting the "Behrend 3" rest in
peace. If the faculty can't find it
in themselves to support the prin
ciples involved, then the students
can't be expected to fight their
tattle.
Ideas-thrown around over past
weeks have included students
having a voice in the hiring and
firing of faculty members. Faculty
members don't seem to support
this idea. and it Is now apparent
why. A few of the more apathetic
i
'4-teachers could stand to lose their
- lobs if this ever came about.
Students appear to have had
the fire lit under them-and meet

the typical night life which is the
usual high point of the quiet

tunity' to keep• abreast of their S.G.A.
and the issues concerning all the Stu
dents at Behrend Campus.
Facilities
Con-Campus facilities should be
open longer for the extended use of
the student body.
1. R.U.8.: The R.U.H. should be
opened until 2:00 a.m., seven days a
week.
2. Dorms: Dormitory lounges should
be allowed to remain open all night.
There is no where to go on Campus
after 2:00. a.m.
' Grill: The should be open
several hours each week, and until
1:00 on week-ends.
Visitation
The current O.S.G.A. (Organization
of Student Government Association)
regulations state that each dormitory
within the Penn State'system -may
vote ' on its own hours. However, it
contains a clause which gives the ad
ministration on Commonwealth Cam
puses the right• to set visitation hours
in accordance with local conditions.
There is a proposal before O.S.G.A. to
delete this phrase. We support this
Proposal and if not passed at the
next O.S.G.A. convention we _would
support a local student movement to
extend visitation hours at Behrend.
Channels of Communication

Point Plan. Along with their plan
was included suggestions as to
what the students could do to
help.
The third sheet urged students
to "Open your eyes to end the
war" and the closing sheet ended
with again suggestions for a
course of action and `Peace." The
theme of the meeting could have
been "Give a Damn by working
today to live tomorrow."
Representatives of Norval Reece
were also present at Wednesday's
meeting and spoke in support of
their candidate. Students -interest

a. m. in front of the RUB, to can

election results and the rescending
of the proposed boycott. The
SGA's new constitution was rati

The students expressed their
disapproval of the boycott over
the "Behrend 3" on the ballot. 279
students ,were against the boycott

While rescending their original

was read at the SGA meeting and
it expressed his discouragement
of any action which may be on
his behalf against the administra
tion.
The issue may now die and the
reasons may not be given until
June but if the administration is
guilty of screwing anybody then
they will pay.
Student support appears to grow
each year at Behrend and next
year could see some long awaited
changes. Even if the changes
don't come fast, they are coming.
The meeting held Thursday, 7th
period in the quiet lounge, was an
organization sort of thing. This
meeting was a result of Wednes
day's meeting in the quiet lounge.
Committees were set up and
whether they will be active or not
is up to the students. The import
ant thing is that initial action has
been taken and hopefully plans
will be carried out.
-, It appears •as though Behrend
students are, "giving a damn!"

Number Two Favored
In Solution Referendum
Arising from the situation
which exists concerning the Uni
ted States involvement in Cam
bodia, the situation which reach
ed a boiling point in the Kent
State incident, and from the en
volvement of thousands of stu
dents last Saturday in Washing
ton, D.C., students of the Univer
sity have become concerned.
As a, ifollow-up to the May 6
University-wide "day of discus
sion," students have exhibited a
desire to continue and possibly
step-up talks and inspire partici-,
pation in the current situation
which exists not only in our na
tion but on •the college campuses
and Penn State in particular.
Flowing out of this desire for
involvement a "Solution Referen
dum" was developed and proposed.
This proposal contained - three
basic solutions to be decided: (1)
that the 'University continue its
normal day-to-day operations;
(2) that classes be devoted dur
ing the eighth, ninth, and tenth
weeks of this term to discussion
of the current situation and that
colloquies, .workshops, and semi
nars be established and that some

ations be ceased.
This referendum, when taken to
the students for their vote, met
with enthusiastic response. At the
Behrend Campus, as was true
at the vast majority of the COM , "
monwealth Campuses, solution
No. 2 was "accepted."
The results of the balloting et
Behrend were No. 1-178, No. 2-4
188, and No. 3-21. The excels.'
tions to •this trend were Beaver
and Ogontz campuses. At the
Beaver campus proposal No. 1 wag(
favored at a ratio, of 3:2 over No.
2. At Ogontz, solution No. 2 re.
ceived an overwhelming majority
on a ratio of about 2:1 in support.
The students at University Part
also voted 2:1 in favor of solution
