Page Two Editorial Opinion Students Govern Future of SGA The future of the Behrend campus student body will be highly dependent upon the results of the May 13 and 14, Spring Elections. It’s the students that will decide how they will want their campus run. It’s their decision because the students are the people to elect a candidate that will represent them to his or her utmost ability, it is up to the students to follow the platforms presented by each of the candidates (see page 3) and up to the students to make their decision based upon the validity and logic of each of the candidates. Be realistic when analyzing each of the statments published by the Cub. Remember you are the ones to be represented by each of the elected few and you are to follow what each passes through the legislation. Discuss with your fellow students the platforms presented by each of the candidates and decide at the right time who you want fo represent you at Behrend Campus. Be truthful with yourself and choose a person to fight for what you want. But most of all remember to vote. Precautions To Take When Changing Majors Before approving a change of major, the College of Human Development representative should have evidence that the student has some awareness of what the major includes and some interest in the professional positions for which the major prepares. If the student is un certain about future plans, he might profit from enrolling in the Division of Counseling. Students enrolled in the College are ex pected to make normal progress toward meeting degree requirements, and “exploring” should be done within the context of the program in which he is majoring. Intracollege 1. Students with a 2.00 or better cumulative average may be approved for a change of major, with the exception of Nursing.

Law Enforcers Commended Dear Editor Congratulations go to the D.C. police force today for quelling the riotous uprising in the Capitol last weekend. They were superb using all of the latest techniques; mace, plastic war shield, etc. . ~ not to mention the tried and true; tear gas, billy clubs, full nelsons, etc. . .Of course I must mention the admirable job done by the 2,000 marines, 2,000 army reserves called in to “back-up" the D.C. police. Also outstanding was the performance of the owner of JFK stadium for lending the use of their facilities to the police department so that they could process the thousands of citizens and students, one of whom was from Behrend, who were arrested, processed, fined and booted out as quickly as possible. I might also add that there is a rumor circulating to the effect that taxes will be lower in D.C. next year. It seems the police dept, there, has recently obtained enough money to fill its budget for the next tvra years. Right On! Tom Garson (6th, Phys.) Radio Club Needs Your Support Dear Editor For the past few months, a group of students have been trying almost everything to establish a radio station on campus. We have run into many obstacles in our efforts. Apathy has been apparent, but no ob stacle is as difficult as a negative administration. Early in the year it was our impression that a station could be built if space could be found on campus. When vacant space was found, the administration tried to talk themselves out of it. I thought perhaps the reason for this was that the money would come out of the university budget, but how can this be when the station is trying to finance.itself? It takes very little room to build a station. WHR (West Halls Radio) at University Park, is housed in a room about the size of the Student Government (S.G.A.) office. There is definitely more room than that available on campus. Is this campus ready for a radio station? It most definitely is. It can fill the communication gap that causes a lack of at tendance, at campus activities, misunderstanding over security, and uncertainty over registration. The S.G.A. would become a more meaningful organization because the students would know what is going on. For what reasons is the ad ministration blocking progress? If Behrend does not have a station under construction by the end of this year, it will be because of Behrend’s unprogressive, two year-minded administration. What can students do? Come to the meetings every Tuesday, common hour, in the studio and show your support. This is your station. James Rose,President Behrend Radio Club A Student Speaks Out On Hatred Dear Editor, Because of the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations which took place this weekend in Washington, I feel compelled to .say something about this war and the evil that has come of it. Why is it that anti-war demonstration demonstrators, who base • most of their arguments on the evils of hatred and the insane destructiveness of war, use hatred, insanity, and destruction to try and curb them? They profess to love their fellow man, and they proceed to employ pre-meditated violence as a means of protection (remember Kent State at the beginning). But the Vietnam War is not the only hate-filled debate today. Every political moral, or educational issue becomes a battleground. “Hate Tricky Dicky, hate the Fascist Pigs, hate the'school administrators” etc., etc., etc. The average liberal, junior Mark Rudd hippie type student (nothing personal Al) loses far too much time crying for love and peace through hate oriented revolutions against administrators, be they presidential, law enforcement, or Bulletin Board Bookstore Closed The bookstore will be closed all day Tuesday, May 18, for annual inventory. Please arrange to pick up any-materials, such as blue books, prior to the 18th. Pre-registration All students . who plan to transfer .to University Park Campus in the fall term 1971, should pre-register with their advisors before May 14. The fall class Timetable for University Park has been distributed to all faculty. Graduating Students Graduating Students! The last day for ordering caps and gowns for June graduation is May 14. The academic gowns may be ordered in the bookstore before ' the deadline date. The cost is $6.75. An Election Rally will be held in the Reed Lecture Hall May 12 from 8:00 to 10:00. All candidates will be present and will welcome any questions. Editor school. To admit that hatred causes wars, acknowledge that war is evil, and use hatred and its brother violence to eliminate war is a gross contradiction, I believe that anyone who advocates violence and destruction as a means of ending the Vietnam War is partially responsible for its continuation, and thus, par tially responsible for every American life lost there. Perhaps peace in Southest Asia would come as a manifestation of domestic peace, if we tried it just once... Carolyn M. Beck (3rd, Ag.) By Shylock Congratulations to Mr. Z. The new rec room has been open now since April 16! Or has it? The pool is all set to go thanks to the Circle K. Now if someone will only have a long talk with the weatherman. Second west Perry Hall has been invaded by a bunch of hopped-up alligators. Has it already been a year since Cohen et all got the ax? And five months since we asked for visitation? And 195 years since the revolution? Something doesn’.t balance! Ever wonder what the inside of the Washington D.C. jail looks like? Congratulations to the Chung and Knockemus families on their new babies. Is anyone taking advantage of the 50 percent off jewelry sale in the Bookstore? Evidently with all the weddings coming off, someone is. Eh! C.B. When You Patronize -Our Advertisers, Tell Them You Saw Their Ad In The Nittany Cub May 6,1971
