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

may only hope that they take it as
seriously as we have, and that
they too take immediate action
on this proposal.
A hearty congratulations to the
Erie Press for their damnation of
the efforts of everyone concerned
with the visit of the honorable
Charles Evers. Although we feel
that the publicity was quite
adequate, many people simply
failed to show up.

again.
Community action is another
Cwens project. Any student is
eligible to help in such areas as
aid to the blind, aged, Orphans,
crippled and the exceptional
children. The Cwens are working
out the details. Further in
formation may be obtained by
contacting any member of the
group.
Cwens is a National honor
society for sophomore women. It
is currently composed of girls
who were selected because of
their academic achievement,
contributions to the campus, and
participation in co-curricular
activities in their freshman year.
Cwens are: Krystal Angevine,
Barbara Cecchi, Barabara
Davies, Marsha S. Hamm,
Patricia La Rosa, Nancy
Over deer, Linda Payes, Leslie
Rossin, Kathleen Sparks, Lana
Watkins, and Patsy Wheatley.
Florence Szymanski, a junior at
Behrend, is the alumni member.
The advisor is Miss Ellyn Carroll,

Student Affairs.
sent its administration into a
frenzy last spring when the
students began to protest the
escalation of the war into
Cambodia; and the unfortunate
tragedy at Kent State affected
the entire nation. lam sure
Hanoi listens to what we have to
say also and I’m certain none
of us likes the way North Vietnam
is treating American POWs.
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.

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. Of the 32
trustees, 6 are appointed by the

All-U-Day at Penn State next
weekend. People are still needed
to fill the bus which will be going
down to University Park. Tickets
are $7.50 per person. If you are
looking for a ride, contact Linda
Juliano as soon as possible.
Tentatively, the bus is scheduled
to depart from Behrend at 7:00
A.M. and from Penn State
between 11:00 and 12:00p.m.
Volunteers are needed to
construct a banner which will
represent Behrend in the all
campus banner contest to be held
during the Penn State-Pitt
football game. The theme for the
banners is “Happiness is. .
.PSU.” Banners will be judged on
1. relevance to theme, 2.
Originality, and 3. artistry. Size
wise, they can be no smaller than
3 ft. by 6 ft., and larger than 4 ft.
by 12 ft. Those interested, please
contact Debbie Horvanek at the
S.G.A. Office.
Karate
Anyone?
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 can learn
mastery of the body and better
mental attitudes. You can
become more physically fit and
.eyen break a few bricks if that
phase interests you. 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

alternatives. Elections were held
for the student government

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.
A free pops concert will be presented by the Behrend band and
chorus fourth period Tuesday in the RUB lecture hall.
The cafeteria will close for the Thanksgiving Holiday on Wed
nesday noon, November' 25, and will not open until Sunday,
November 29, for the evening dinner.
The flu shots will be administered on Friday in the dispensary
beginning at 12:00 noon and extending until Dr. Snow has given the
last shot. Why not be on time?
All students living in the Residence Halls who will not be retur
ning to the Behrend Campus for Winter Term 1970 should notify the
Housing Office before December 9, 1970. The office telephone
number is 899-3101 Ext. 230, or 899-6092.

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.
