Editorial Opinion
Pre-Registration
It was something like walking
into a restaurant and seeing a
sign on the wall saying there was
no food. Maybe you didn’t get the
courses you wanted, needed, or
desired, but the university thinks
in the long run pre-registration
was a success. The CUB in
terviewed the Administrative
Assistant in Academic Affairs,
Mr. Goetz, to find out more about
pre-registration and its future
here at Behrend. He said the
campus is experiencing
“growing pains” due to in
creasing number of students
attending. They are also trying to
run Behrend on a major
university curriculm and it will
take time to iron out the rough
edges in the transition. He said, if
effect, that Behrend is growing in
student population and that the
administration is trying to
compensate it. One of the new
innovation here is pre
registration.
Mr. Goetz said it is a great help
because the student knows what
courses are waiting for him
Letters To The
ft ft ftft ft ft
ft MANIFESTO
TO END...
I. Director Irvin Kochel has
been quoted as calling this the
year 'of communication. I
assumed this vindication to be
prophetic of the future as the past
nas shown nothing in the way of
justifying any claim to
retrospective sincere recep
tiveness.
Behrend administrative at
tentiveness towards student
needs has been nil and has risen
this year to little more than
superficial deceptiveness. The
mad orator of the little lane has
spoken in twisted phraseology,
posing bits of nothingness as
concerned guidance. Few have
seen through to the real light of
any given situation. Few have
sought to question any dictates,
fiats, or what-have-you, that have
been handed down. But let me tell
you this: More do know than I
would infer to, or than the
hierarchy-at-hand would like to.
Events happen, situations
develop, the unexpected walks
hand-in-hand with the predic
table and so the conserving
conservative leads another
sacrificial victim off to under
ground martyrdom. How many,
if any, has the past seen
buried? No one can tell because
when a friend comes asking and
searching he finds no record. The
cosmic heretic was right; when
they dispose of you, they try hard
to make sure that every trace and
remembrance of you is gone.
Phase one of the end to the
bringdown is this; the present
Behrend command must be
brought down. It is important for
the development of harmony,
receptiveness, understanding
and peace of mind that leaders of
the people be genuinely con
cerned for the welfare of the
students.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not
Koch el as a person who must go,
it is Kochel as a director who
must go. Irvin Kochel would be
welcome as a member of the
community, possibly as a
student. As thus he would be in a
position deserving of what he has
shown himself as. Despite his
EDITORIAL POLICY
The editorials appearing in this
newspaper will be opinionated
and therefore' subject to
criticism. All letters that are
typewritten and submitted to the
newspaper staff will be printed
with the exception of those that
are repetitions or in poor taste.
The staff reserves the right to
education he stands to learn quite
a bit about basic things, like
respect, how to listen, concern,
sincerity and other things that
being director does not appear to
be conducive to'.
Yes by all means “Kochel must
go!” “And so castles made of
sand, fall in to the sea, even
tually.”
n. Nittany CUB, November 12,
1970: “A dynasty has ended. The
reign of the ‘rent-a-cops’ is over.”
And so we passively watched as
so many were deceived into
accepting what was the advent of
an absolute monarchy.
Deacon was to work very .part
time and if the present doeis not
indeed show the starting of a
joke, then it would be interesting
to know where we are now.
The situation could have been
trust at one time, but it becomes
increasingly difficult to trust a
bureaucracy of a minor sort. It
might be interesting to note a few
facts, from a part time job for one
we now have, an administrative
position, a few Pinkie-boys,
fourteen student marshals, five
alternates, an office (while no
space can be found for the use of
thousands of dollars of
psychology equipment which
would benefit the students), a
jeep for the emergencies which
seem to be occurring constantly
at Behrend, for walkie-talkies,
and who knows what other
needed (sic) accessories.

IV. Remember Behrend
Campus as it once was, see how it
now is, and envision what it will
be. If it is true, and I don’t know
that it is, that Director Kochel
makes sure a tree is planted for
every one that falls prey to ex
pansion than all I can do is laugh
and say, “my what a great
conservationist art thou.” But
what about the fields?
From looking at the Expansion
map it appears to me that it is the
fields which the cement sewers
seek to cultivate. This could be of
economic reasoning or simply the
desire to avoid planting new
trees. You can choose which you
believe. . .and as to false
prophecy see what the future
brings.
Expansion goes deeper than
the cement foundations of
buildings and parking lots, it
reaches to the very heart of an

before he goes home after each
semester. He also added with the
use of the Individual Course
Planning form, which will: be
introduced in Fall’s pre
registration, the advisor’s job
will be simplified and the
university will have a chance to
academically plan ahead plus it
will act as a guideline for the
student and university. With the
ICPF there will be one major pre
registration for the whole year.
As for the number of closed
courses at pre-registration Mr.
Goetz stated that in some cases
there are not enough professors
for the courses offered. This
problem arises mostly because of
the number of people wanting to
take requirements early. He said
they’re trying to make the
selections larger but it will take
time to adjust to the gradual
growth of subscriptions.
On the whole, the pre
registration program is a step in
the right direction to simplify and
lessertthe burden placed on the
student and the university during
the normal registration period.

V. As my term at Behrend
draws to its end I can only hope to
pass on into something better.
Maybe peace of mind, this time.
My reflections upon Behrend
contain many harsh revelations..
.poor administrators (who taught
me the meaning of stereo-type,
real politick, unconcern for
others). . .poor faculty members
(from whom I learned to rely on
self-study methods, the joke of
possessing a 8.A., 8.5., or even
Doctorate, boredom). . .poor
students (the meaning of apathy.,
why a pass-fail system would
never work, the true meaning of
moral decay, the mixed up state
of heads of people)...
But then I also can’t help but to
recall the beauty of the Gorge,
the Carriage-House, the bridge,
the ski slope, and so on. There are
also the good administrators
(who helped and showed concern,
hid true feelings to keep a job,
have concern for others). . .good

Abortion—To Know
Or Not To Know?
Dear Editor
The Cub has recently run a pair
of advertisements which offer
safe, low-cost abortions at
hospitals in New York state. One
of these ads was rather in
conspicuous and one can glance
over it without thinking too. much
about the nature of its offer; but
its competing advertisement had
all the delicacy of a slaughter
house. Prices were given for the
operation at various stages of
pregnancy in this ad which took
approximately l A of the page.
Whether or not you agree with
the legalization of abortion is not
my concern. Your opinion on
abortion is not likely to be
changed by another essay. But I
would like to see the discon
tinuation of ads such as the latter
in the Cub. Interested parties
could obtain information such as
prices through media other than
a glaring ad
