Winter
Weekend
Flurries
A flurry of activities for Winter
Weekend was launched on Friday
night when Behrend’s basketball
team smashed Dußois on the
home court. If the game wasn’t
excitingly close, the Banana
Eating Contest, which followed,
was. The contest, a first at
Behrend, was sponsored by the
Business Club. Howard Leslie
won the $lO prize by downing 12
bananas in 3 minutes. The Boot
Hill Gang from Mercyhurst and
Mike Morey were featured at the
Coffee House in the R.U.B. dining
hall follwoing the Contest.
Because of a lack of flumes,
Saturday’s snow sculpture
contest was cancelled and
toboggan races were
rescheduled. More successful
was Saturday night’s semi
formal dance. Nearly 40 couples,
many for first time, tried such
things as a waltz, a polka, and a
tarantella as well as the usual
dances. The Car-Mels of Erie
provided the music.
Othello, which was based on the
Shakesperian play, was run on
Sunday evening. This movie,
which starred Laurence Olivier
and Maggie Smith, was the final
activity of Winter Weekend.
Howard Leslie, Behrend Banana-Eating Champ, gulps one of the
twelve bananas-he-ate in three minutes, as just part of the Winter
Weekend action.

Visitation Discussed
Before Advisory Board
At the first two SGA
meetings of the winter term,
a main topic was the dorm
visitation policy, but this by
no means was the only area of
discussion. At the January 6
meeting, the decision was
made to accept applications
from qualified students to fill
the three vacancies that exist
within the SGA. Also, Colleen
Healy was appointed to fill
the vacant secretarial
position. Dean Lane spoke of
the possibility of a program
on human sexuality to be held
here, which would involve
both formal speakers and
“buzz sessions” including
students and faculty. Next,
the Union Board announced
that it will present Pat
Paulsen and “Alive and
Kicking.”
The January 13 SGA
meeting was highlighted by
the presence of the Advisory
Board, which was invited to
hear discussion on the
visitation policy. •_ “Old
Business” included both the
possibility of having copies of
“The Daily Collegian” on
campus and of being able
next year to use Behrend
meal tickets at other PSU
campuses.
The new parking
regulations for the Reed Lot
were explained by “Deacon”
as necessary for snow
The first meeting will be a brief
introduction to draft counseling
and what is entailedr If there is
enough interest at the first
meeting, then additional courses
will be sponsored. Tim Muzzio,
co-worker at the Erie Draft Law
Center, says, “The purpose of the
course is to educate attendants to
counsel in an impartial and ob
jective manner in respect to the
Selective Service System and
Enlistment Procedures.”
Mr. Pat Mertens, Director of
the Erie Draft Law Information
Center, will be teaching the
session. Mertens is a former
Peace Corps worker and was
engaged in draft counseling while
a graduate student at the State
University at Binghamton. He
says the draft laws are becoming
increasingly complex and draft
counseling explains-the various
choices a man has when he is of
draft, age. Also, it explores the
possibilities that are open to you
upon entering the armed forces.
Some of the topics that will be.
discussed are enlistment
procedures, conscientious ob
jectors, hardship deferments,
and a general understanding of
the draft law.

Could You
A Summer
As almost everyone knows, the
squeeze will be on for jobs next
summer. For those with the
proper background, it is quite
possible that you may qualify for
a summer job in a Federal
Agency.
The jobs are divided into four
groups of varying types of work.
Group I has the largest number of
available positions that range
from postal work to specialized
positions requiring educational
background. Applicants must
take the IV2 hour Summer Em
ployment Examination.
However, science majors with 2
years of college and a 3.0
average, or students in a non
major with a 3.5 average are not
required to take the test.'
Group II covers a small
number ot jobs with the Forest
Service, National Park Service,
and the State Department among
others.
Group 111 requires a bachelor’s
degree and includes such varied
positions as Foreign Agricultural
Service, Environmental Health
Service, Social and Rehabilit
ation Service along with many
others.

Transfers
Clarified
There has been a great deal of
misunderstanding regarding the
recent flier circulated by the
Food and Housing people
regarding transfer to University
Park Campus for the Summer
and Fall Term' 1971. Behrend
Campus Policy on this will be the
same as it has been in the past.
No such requests will be accepted
earlier than the term before the
one in which the student expects
to transfer with the single ex
ception of Fall Term Transfer
Requests which are processed
during the Spring Term. These
requests should be completed by
the student and returned to Mr.
Goetz in Academic Affairs within
the first ten (10) calendar days of
the term.
