Page Two IT TAKES FOREVER There’s a new man on campus. Deacon. If you haven’t met him yet, what are you waiting for? He’d like to meet everyone, and he’ll rap to you all night if you give him a chance. Many may have been offended by his presence, but I would like to take this opportunity to em phasize the fact he is not here to snoop. He really digs students, or else he wouldn’t be here to begin with. He’s simply doing his job of security on campus and is trying to make it as pleasant as possible and trying to get along with everyone. It gets mighty cold and mighty lonely walking around outside all night. Being the guy that he is,' he shares many of the same interests as we do, and loves to rap about almost anything that interests students. Before you judge him by his uniform, why don’t you give him the same chance that everyone deserves and get to know him? He has a lot of ideas about making the system work, and he just may doit. Flash! . . . The JRC sent their intervisitation proposal to the administration this past Tuesday. The proposal has already been approved by both the JRC and the SGA, and the general consensus among the students is that of a definite need for approval by the ad ministration. The students have done their part in a speedy in vestigation of the needs of the intervisitation, and have hastened in approving this proposal, which indeed seems to be a job well done. The rest is up to the administration, and we Letters To The Editor Editor and Students Over the past few months there has been an increasing number of groups which have been con cerned with the way North Vietnam has been treating, or should I say, mistreating American POW s. I am sure that every student on this campus has heard the pleas of these groups through the news media asking everyone to send a letter to the President of North Vietnam, requesting him to treat American prisoners humanely and to publish a list of the names of all the POWs now being held in North Vietnam. I would like to know one thing: how many of the students on this campus have written? There is no excuse for anyone who has not written yet since all it is costing any of us is 25c and a little time; surely that is not too much to ask. College students have the unusual power of making governments sit-up and take notice of us. Kent State students Sty?

A hearty congratulations to the Erie Press for their damnation of the efforts of everyone concerned with the visit of the honorable Charles Evers.

Maybe this is wishful thinking but I think that if enough students on our campus started writing to the President of Vietnam, maybe other campuses would follow our lead. Hanoi could not ignore our voice. Even if no one else on any other campuses started writing to North Vietnam at least we can say we tried to help. The next time you have to kill be tween classes write a letter to the President of North Vietnam. Address your letters to: The President Hanoi North Vietnam - -Richard Lecker THE NITTANYCUB Dean Lane Speaks At SGA Meeting The first item of business of the November - 4th S.G.A. meeting was an address by Benjamin Lane, Dean of Student Affairs. Dean Lane spoke on the structure of the University, and explained that the “super-structure” consisted of the Board of Trustees, the University Senate, and the president.

It is very possible that you could be' given a left Zenketsu Dachi combined with a left Morote Uke and a right Mai Geri Keeage right here at Behrend. To protect yourself from such an unpleasant gift, invest in track shoes or take up the art of karate as many Behrend students are doing. Karate originated in India, and was taken to China by the Buddist Monks. From China it went to Korea and Okinawa where it was changed from exercises to fighting arts. Five Behrend students are currently studying goshin jutsu (street fighting karate) at the Erie Karate Academy, 2220 W. Bth Street, with Mr. Joe Durant, instructor .Mr. Durant is a sth degree black belt in karate and also teaches the martial arts of aikiado, juijutsuo, and aiki-jutsu. The Behrend people take lessons with others from one to three nights a week on Wed nesday, Friday, or Sunday from 7-10 p.m. They are trying to climb from their white belt rookie designation to a green stripe, then purple (2 degrees), to brown (3 degrees), and finally to black, which has ten degrees. If you are interested in in structions at the Academy, contact Bill Johnson, a “sanku” and freshman here, at 838-3642. Tournament karate is offered at the Booker T. Washington Center, where five Behrendites are presently enrolled. Artis Simmons, the instructor, is a fourth degree black belt and recently won a Grand Champion title in Cleveland. One third of the lesson time at this do-jo (place of karate) is used to develop self-defense.' The students enter in- tournament karate and eventually get- to compete with members of other clubs who are in their own belt class. In this club, the belts are white', yellow, green, purple, brown, and black. This karate club, which belongs to the United States Karate Association, meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. In karate, age,sex, and size are no barriers.

You fcan even learn what to do to counter the Zenketsu Dachi. : governor, 9 are elected by the General Alumni Association, 12- are elected by delegates from various societies, and the remainder are “ex officio” members. The Senate is com posed of faculty members, 85 per cent of which are elected by the faculty, and 15 per cent of which are appointed or “ex officio” members. The president is the chief executive officer and - is selected by the trustees. Dean Lane then dealt with the local structure, which is basically a microcism of the over-all structure, and the Office of Student Affairs at Behrend. Next, he coined the phrase “govern mental lag” in speaking of the skeleton groups with which the S.G.A. and other organizations must function at the beginning of the school year. He suggested that a student-faculty administration retreat be held for 3 or 4 days in the summer to allow the key issues to be discussed before classes begin. Second Vice-President Tip Dworzanski announced that the following people were selected to serve on the Student Judiciary Board; Jim Belich, Bill Ericson, Eric Hefler, Jan Reicht, Kathy Sparks, and Flo Szymanski, with Cnris Louden, John Musala, Bob Novet, and Linda Stalford as alternatives. Elections were held for the student government members of the Faculty Senate, with the results being: Campus Development, Ken Mushrush; Bulletin Bored Students, at the S.G.A. Regional Conference of Oct. 22-23 a decision to create a regional newsletter will be to keep campuses in and out of our region aware of the problems and happenings on each campus. If you have any suggestions or articles you wish to submit to this news letter, please give them to Doug Brower, Denny Hart, Andrea Starr' or Linda Jandreau. Although all articles will not be put in the newsletter, they will all be sent to University Park. To help relieve the parking problem, staff parking is now per mitted (15 spaces) on the parking apron immediately behind the Nick Building. In addition, all spaces on the south edge of Nick lots D and E-but for the 12 spaces still designated as staff-are now for student parking. This opens 30 spaces on Nick lots D and E for students and should therefore eliminate the need to park along roadways.

The standing committee reports included the an nouncement that Dennis Hart is the editor of the regional newsletter. The Political Activity Committee expressed the desire to have at least one major speaker on campus per month, and Community Action has sent letters to various Erie organizations offering Behrend’s services. Dave Carr’s report contained the possibility of Saturday mail for resident students, and a student-faculty-administration group which would recruit new students during winter term. Dave also announced that a survey will be taken around the eighth week of classes • to determine the status of the library hours. Old business centered on the intervisitation policy proposal, which was accepted by the S.G.A. All-U Day, permanent chartering procedures, and the O.S.G.A. Conference were also discussed. Once again, these meetings are open to any interested students, and it might be worth your while to sit in on one. The way to keep our S.G.A. efficient and effective (and thus far it seems to be both) is to let it know that the student body is aware of it and is following its progress.
