BEHREND 1980

CUB Staff Writer
Since the Behrend Campus was
founded in 1948 the campus has
grown from a mere 152 students
to 1264 in 1970. Previously only
freshmen. and later freshmen
and sophomores, Behrend now
has become the first com
monwealth campus to go four
years by enrolling about 100
students as juniors this year.
To accommodate this growth,
the campus has completed a new
science building; the Nick
Building, just this year; and two
new buildings, a foods service
building and a dormitory, are
presently under construction.
They are to be completed in the
fall of 1971. These additionS would
allow an increased enrollment of
about 1500 students for the fall of
1971.
To provide for further in
creased enrollments Behrend
will need three new buildings by
1975. The building projects have
been approved by the state, but
because of the state's fiscal
difficulties. the money has yet to
be appropriated.
The building projects are a new
library building north of the

administration building, a new
physical education facility south
of Erie Hall, and a new academic
building. The total cost is
estimated at $ll million.
Overall Penn State University
sent 183 building plans to the
state this past year but the state
has yet to act on any. It is
believed that little or no action
will be taken at least until the
new governor takes office, and
even then with the state's $4O
million project deficit, it may be
a while till anything is approved.
If and when the state does act, the
three buildings at Behrend are at
the top of the list and it is hopeful
that construction may begin so
that the buildings may be com
pleted by 1975.
Critics of Penn State believe
that the University is becoming a
"huge octopus" that is engulfing
the entire state. Authorities,
however, are quick to point out
that the University is only
striving to maintain the 12 per
cent -15 per cent of high school to
college bound students in Penn-
Sylvania, just as it has over the
past lb years.
There are many more plans in

Gannon College
Symposium
Ecology, mob violence, racial
unrest, human freedom, and
human behavior are some
problems which willbe discussed
by nationally-known scholars in
the Gannon College Symposium,
"Man and His Contemporary
Problems," on Oct. 16 and 17 at
the new Zurn Science Center.
The Symposium will be held in
conjunction with the formal
dedication of the Zurn Center and
will be open to students and
faculty members of Great Lakes
colleges.
According to Professor Acri,
Director or the Symposium,
"Gannon College is fortunate to
have such outstanding scholars
participate in its Symposium.
This academic event will be an
opportunity for teachers and
students to take part in a fruitful
exchange of ideas about some
serious contemporary
problems."
"All the Symposium speakers
have national reputations for the
work they have done in their
fields and all are important
voices among their colleagues."
"Perhaps at no time in history
has it been more urgent and
necessary to have an open
Symposium to discuss these
problems which permeate the
amount. Some are one time
awards and some are renewable
for subsequent years. All
students who seek to qualify for
the first time or those who desire
to have their current scholar
ships renewed must reapply
annually.

Are you interested in flying?
The Student Union Board's
Recreational Committee has
asked a representative of the
Cessna Aircraft Company to
come to the Behrend Campus to
explain its national college flying
program.
The organization and
development of college flying
clubs in colleges and universities
across the United States has
made it possible for college
students, their families, faculty
members, and alumni to learn to
fly and continue to fly at the
lowest possible rates.
