Oswald, President of Penn State University, made Ms first visit to the Behrend Campus last Wednesday (Oc tober 22) to formally dedicate the new Edwin W. Nick Classroom- Laboratory Building, and to in formally talk with students, faculty, and administration. Although Ms relatively short six hour visit was crammed and hustled by dedication ceremonies and rap sessions, his eagerness to communicate with everyone was evident throughout the day, and Ms real human, down-to-earth approach was met favorably by everyone. The visit began at 2:30 in the RUB with an informal meeting with students. There Dr. Oswald extended a welcome to all students, and after a short speech he opened the sessions to questions from the floor. He pointed out that of 9000 entering freshmen this year, 6000 are attending Commonwealth Campuses, and within the next few years one-half of all the students that receive their baccalaureate degrees from Penn State will have attended a Commonwealth Campus for at least part of their work at Penn State. As he has in the past, he again emphasized the relationship between the main campus and the Commonwealth Campuses, that of a sameness in the quality of education, and yet autonomy on each campus. He also spoke of his attempts to develop “ways and means” to relate to students. He has ap pointed two faculty assistants and two student assistants who serve on Ms executive staff. These assistants are serving as a direct link in communication between students and faculty, which will undoubtedly aid in uncovering and solving many problems. . There were several questions which were tossed at him from the floor, all of wMeh he handled with complete fairness and thoroughness in his response. Among these, he most heavily favored the idea of Associate Graduation on each campus. The idea being that it is more feasible to graduate at the campus where the student has done all his work, rather than traveling to (Continued on Page 3) Law Information Center and have both attended classes in Draft Counselling under the direction of Alan Gibas of CCO of Philadelphia.
