An Editorial Opinion
Expansion?
Where is Behrend going, and if it knows the final
destination, what is holding up the progress of this
campus?
Last year it was approved by University Park to
make the Behrend Campus into a 4-year college in the
true sense of the word, with the hopeful idea of it
eventually becoming a Commonwealth College, and
perhaps eventually a university center serving in the
best educational interest of Northwestern Penn
sylvania. What then anoears to be the difficulty in
implementing the proposed and approved plan?
if anything, college administrators take refuge in
the statement that there is no organized plan for the
development of Behrend Campus into a 4-year bac
calaureate college, but it would appear that even they
have now lost their hiding {dace.
A sub-committee of the Academic Planning Com
mittee has recently released a report that gives the
general guidelines for the academic development of
the Behrend Campus over a fifteen year period
divided into three separate five year periods, each
with its own goals in mind with the end result being a
Commonwealth College at Behrend, and ultimately a
university center with a projected enrollment of 8,000
full-time students.
The report calls for a balance between a generalized
program, and a specialized program, in the hopes that
it will give the individual an opportunity to exercise as
much freedom as possible in choosing his course, but
yet leave an opportunity for specialized study in as
many Helds as possible.
In order to accomplish this there would be created
three specific types of study programs. These would
include a wide-based liberal studies curriculum, a
structured, but yet flexible inter-disciplinary area
study program, and then the traditional and struc
tured majors.
The plan has been now set up, the only remaining
question is when will it be implemented into the
Behrend Campus, and who will do it?

letters To The Editor
To Educate
Or To Train
Dear Editor,
At the April 17 SGA meeting,
Mr. Daniel brought an outline for
the Academic development of
Behrend Campus over the next 15
years. The plan was divided into
three five-year segments. The
basic idea for the first five years
was to develop present majors in
General Arts and Science and
General Science and not to offer
any new majors. This would
allow for overall enlargement of
the entire faculty. and course
offerings and not be limiting as
the development of new majors.
Under the two majors would be a
variety of area study options
which would allow the student to
take as many courses in these
areas as a student majoring in
them without having to be
restricted to a structured plan of
courses.
After much discussion, this
proposal was voted cm and did not
receive the approval of the
Student Government. The major
objection was that the plan would
not prepare students for jobs or
attract enough students to be
feasible. It seems that all file
complaining that is heard from
students about the nonsense
requirements and restrictions -of
their majors is not to be taken
seriously. Personally I feel the
plan would give Behrend a
chance to : offer 'a' unique
educational program which
would attract many good
students dissatisfied with the
traditional role of education - to
prepare for a vocation. The ideal
of education is to educate not to
train. Behrend’s future appears
dim at present. I feel this plan if
incorporated would give it a
chance at survival as an
educational institution.

Charter Bus
To D.C
Dear Editor,
This letter is being written as a
plea to the Behrend Campus
student body to get involved with
the peace movement. April 24
SUNDAY AND
and May 1-7 have been selected
as dates for large demonstrations
in Washington D.C. April 24 has
been set as the-date for a large,
student and worker, demon
stration to protest the Vietnam
War. The Student Mobilization
Committee is sponsoring this
with help from other peace
groups. We, at Behrend are' now
trying to charter a bus to attend
this rally. Edmboro also has two
buses going for-the weekend.
May 1-7,' or “May Day” has
received much publication also.
It has been endorsed by both
Black Panther and White Pan
ther'parties. Whereas April 24 is
just a peace march, “May Day”
is to be more militantly opposed
to American oppression, abroad
or here in America.
Right now we have President
Nixon over a barrel. He is
making minute troop with
drawals, but both the working
man and the student are disen
chanted with our foreijpi policy.
Both of these demonstrations
have large backing, so we have a
chance to do something. If there
ever was a time to organize, it is
now, so let’s all get out and try to
stop the military machine.
If anyone is interested in going
on a bus, please contact me at
833-6864, or Linda Shorey at 899-
1173. If we do get a bus, it will
leave Erie at 10:86 p.m. Friday
and leave D.C. Sunday afternoon.
We can get a bus for a little over
$ll. per person if we get 39 people
to go. Please get involved.

From the hard-to-understand
department. A memo dated
March 10, 1971 from Mr. Bough
mon’s office describes the
Pinkerton force in this manner:
“They are unarmed and are as
benign a force as possible.” Yet
on April 1, 1971. Captain Skid
more appeared from noon to 1:00
p.m. in the bookstore with:
1.
2. nightstick
3. handcuffs
4. whistle
5. walkie-talkie
The above are confirmed,
unconfirmed is the rumor that he
also carried a cylinder of mace.
That was about as benign as an
elephant turd in the middle of the
gym.
Dr. Scotts’ letter in last week’s
CUB has been received with
mixed emotions.
Work is progressing on the
Picnic Shelter. Is it true that the
estimates are now up to $35,006?
Seems strange with all of the
budget cuts. -
Speaking of budget cuts, will
there be enough money to make
the pool clean enough to swim in?
Answers to last week’s
questions: 1) yes; 2) a fuhrer; 3)
maybe and 4) yes, but not about
thelibrary.
Scott got the Easter Bunny!
Lots of freaks!
Bleep!
