the Afro-American Dance En

Black dancers, all American

from its headquarters in North
Philadelphia.
Arthur Hall, director and
choreographer of the group, has
worked with and studied under
many teachers from New York
and various parts of Africa. His
knowledge of the African song

Dear Editors:
We are supposedly in college to
become prepared for the “real
thing”-life. The question is-are
we, and my answer is both yes
and no.
I myself have become more
educated in not English or
Zoology but trust and distrust. I
am learning to distrust
especially after the events of
Wednesday night.
We are supposedly brought up
to believe that we are living in a
democracy. How are we expected
to believe this when one little
man can over ride the opinions of
a whole student body, his ad
visory board and community
opinions? This is not a
democracy, only a clear-cut
dictatorship.
So now we’ve got a dic
tatorship-type college working
within the supposed
“democracy” of a nation. So I am
beginning to learn distrust in
governments through my ex
periences here at Behrend. This
is what is being taught to me to
prepare me forihe world outside.
I really don’t think this is how it
really is out there. Sure there is
distrust but not to the extent that
it has‘reached here at Behrend.
College is part of your life and
life is real so why don’t we have a
sense of reality here?

requests being rejected.
1. Under no circumstances can
a student without Advanced
Standing be reassigned to UP
during his first three terms at
this University.
2. The only acceptable reason
for a student transferring to UP
before the Sixth term is if he
cannot obtain a suitable schedule
of courses for his major at a
commonwealth, campus. This
approval is automatic for certain
majors; others will require a
letter from the student’s adviser
and or the Dean’s Representative
for that college verifying the
student’s claim.
3. Personal or family problems
are usually not sufficient reasons
to justify a transfer to University
Park. In all cases, letters from
doctors, counselors and Deans
are required before any such
approvals can be granted.
Transfers to other Com
monwealth Campuses are,
however, much easier to obtain,
and such usually can eliminate
the source of many of the
students’s problems.

may complete his sixth term

OSGA Threatened With

his lecture at the Warner Theatre
on February 4at 8 p.m. This
lecture will be part of Paulsen’s

Before becoming an overnight

He is also very interested and

Marshals Chance Here
Behrend’s Lone Ranger,
Deacon, now has two Tonto’s in
the form of the two newly ap

him in his rounds.
The student marshal program
at Behrend Campus is unique in
the Penn State 'Commonwealth
System. Perhaps the most
significant aspect of this
program is that for the first time
students have'some say in
campus security. Deacon hopes

SGA is giving serious con
sideration to following the course
set by New Kensington.
“If the winter conference is no
better than the fall conference,
I’m sure we’ll very seriously
consider pulling out,” he said.
“The only things OSGA seems
interested in are those which
insure its existence.”

Spring Term.
The- duties of the student
marshals are many and varied.
Tom, who is in his second year of
the two year Business course, is
concerned principally with
traffic violations, and carrying
out the many small tasks that
abound in this type of work.
However as the program expands
it is believed that he will take
over some night duties also.
Karen, a second term student
in Consumer Related Studies and
the first girl student marshal in
Penn State University, is in
charge of much of the paperwork,
and has done an outstanding job
in organizing the files and such in
the Security Office, which for
those who don’t know is located in
the basement of the Ad
ministration Building.
The marshals work ap
proximately 10 hours a week and
are paid the standard University
wage. They both work very
closely with Deacon and both
enjoy it. Karen said it is, “a job
that’s interesting and a challenge
in itself.” Tom added, “I like
getting involved with the cam
pus, and this is a good way to do
it.”

Carr said larger campuses like
Behrend are upset by the time
devoted to trivial matters which
could be resolved locally. “We
can take care of vending
machines and parking
problems,” he said.
Another criticism Carr pointed
to was the delay with which
OSGA members handle problems
brought to their attention. He
said Ed Beckwith, assistant to
President John Oswald, had
proven to be a major avenue for
resolving issues quickly.
SUB Movie:
Sweet November
Sandy Dennis and Anthony
Newley share the spotlight in this
week’s Student Union Board film
entitled Sweet November. The
story takes place in Brooklyn and
features Miss Dennis as a
romantic, lonely young woman
who falls in love once a month
(and for only a month) with some
troubled man on an attempt to
ease his problems and her own.
November’s romance involves
Anthony Newley, her staid
business executive lover and
poet. Swfeet November is a
refreshing contemporary love
story from an original screenplay
by Herman Raucher and directed
by Robert Ellis Miller.
Sweet November will be shown
on Sunday, January 31, at 7:00
and again at 9:00. Admisstion is
50 cents with activity card and

opinion that they are doing their
job too well with the strict en
forcement of traffic and parking
violations. Students should take
heart though in the fact that staff
and administration are not being
overlooked, and they too are
getting their share of tickets, too.
All mon6y from violations is
funnelled into S.G.A. It has been
suggested that a minor portion of
this be set aside to finance the
Security' Office, which is
operating on limited funds at the
moment.
After close scrutiny the student
marshal program seems to be a
good thing. However, like quite a
Tew other things being discussed
these day, it will work only if
people give it a chance.
