OPINION
What Price Security?
With the growing student body, the expansion of
Behrend to a four-year institution, and the growth of
Behrend in general, it has become more and more
necessary to become involved in a program of
“Campus security”. But how -much “security” is
necessary for only twelve-hundred students? The
growth of our ‘‘security system” seems to be far
exceeding that of the other essential programs at
Behrend.
Behrend began the year with a rented police force,
as it had in previous years. But the system seemed
archaic and useless, and therefore it was abandoned
in favor of a one-man Pinkerton security force. The
direction of the initial step toward a better program
seemed quite favorable. However, the program
continued progress and we have now found ourselves
with what appears to be an overly-abundant security
force headed by a security chief with countless other
security officers, and student marshalls.
The initial ideas for an improved security force
were indeed noble, however the direction and extent of
the steps taken have exceeded that which is necessary
for an adequate program. The security program
seems to have been given top priority over most other
essential programs. Extensive funds have been spent
for equipment, salaries, and maintainance of the
programs, while other student, faculty, and ad
ministrative needs suffer from lack of funds.
Should our education suffer because of the mixed
priorities of our administration? If more funds were
allocated for such things as academic planning and
student organizations, there would be far less need for
such an extensive security force.
Educational needs should always take precedence
over the establishment of an untested service
bureaucracy, whose need seems questionable.
Shouldn’t the security needs of the Behrend Campus
be seriously reconsidered by the administration? We
of the Cub feel that this is definitely the case.

Letters To The
Dear Editor
There is a very worthwhile
effort in progress now without
much student support. Things
don’t just happen—you’ve got to
make them happen. We’re trying
to get a campus radio station on
the air as a service and a means
of entertainment for Behrend.
Radio Behrend has innumberable
possibilities. It would be the
campus’s only up-to-the-minute
means of communication. Club
information, campus happenings
(which have been frequent this
term), and sports events could be
broadcasted to the student body.
A campus radio station is
something that is greatly needed
at Behrend but we need YOUR
help. Without it, Radio Behrend
will fall through as so many other
ventures here have. If you want it
please donate. At the moment, we
need money to buy equipment.
Also, anyone who has any useful *
contacts which may be able to
help us out please contact any
club member or Mrs. Dawson in
North Cottage. We need your help
to help you— the students of the
Behrend Campus.

Radio Behrend.
Dear Cub,
I have noticed that a horrible
state of apathy has overtaken the
student body in the last week. I
can understand this state, due to
the many frustrating battles with
administration over the past
month. But this is just what the
administration wants, a beaten
student body who doesn’t give a
damn about anything! So what do
we do? Well, we can’t do anything

Pat Paulson is a real winner,
Right Mr.Z.?
This week’s dum-dum award
goes to Dave Forsman for
jumping headfirst in a snowbank
for a dollar. Grusha, Henry,
“Girard,” Sliker, Hale, Beskid,
and myself made the money
possible.
Be careful while walking on the
snow or ice covered steps. I heard
that one person suffered a
dislocated shoulder from slip
ping.
Real security on this campus is
the sight of a snowplow.
From somebody who answered
my call for help: Mr. Maloney,
the cafeteria supervisor, had a
slight mishap recently. He was in
the outside office of the RUB
when he noticed Mr. Banks’ white
dog jetting by. He bent down to
catch the dog, split his pants,
missed the dog completely, and
locked himself out of the office
when the door accidentally
slammed shut.
This is “Be Kind to Your Local
Pinkerton Week. ’ ’ -
I think Mr. Foote’s neato
movies are getting to him. Maybe
he’s found the generation gap.
What’s this I heard about a
male member of the staff going
on a four day trip with a female
student?
Does the sawdust on the
sidewalks really help, or does it
just preserve the ice?
Since when can male RA’s sling
food in the girl’s kitchen ?
definite right now, but we must
keep a tab on the policies of the
administration. We must hassle
them about their mistakes, such
as the pathetic attempt at snow,
removal last week, and giving
parking tickets at the same time!
We must keep reminding them
that we want an education that is
relevant to the times, not one
based' on nineteenth century
rules. Remember, if you want to
be a puppet, just sit back and
don’t ask questions. But if you
want to change things ..you must
not give up. A 1 Quinlan
Dear Editor
There are several worthwhile
committees on this campus
which are in great need of money.
There is the Academic Planning
Committee, the Radio Club, and
the committee working on a
Hotline of Behrend. For these
BULLeti
It is heartening to report that Mike Chiteman has been released
from the hospital and is at home recuperating. He will not meet his
classes until after additional x-rays and tests on Monday, February
22, when he will reenter the hospital, and the all-clear is given him
by his doctor. Best of luck, Mike!

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

groups there is no money from
the administration, only red tape.
But there is one group which has
been receiving money—and lots
of it.
The student ’marshalls, which
is the brainstorm of our ad
ministration, have received
within the past month a jeep,
walkie-talkies, uniforms and free
karate lessons. To top it off,
they’re being paid $1.65 an hour.
The question is, why does the
administration waste needed
money on student marshalls
when we’ve got an army of
Pinkertons to protect us? Is
security such a problem on our
small campus?
It seems to me that we have
more than enough protection
here without student marshalls.
The money spent on such a
useless venture could be put to
more academic and student
orientated programs.
Sincerely,
Eric Miller
