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.
Any requests to change major to
Nursing should be referred to
Dean Gentry, since there are
enrollment problems unique to
Nursing.
2. First and second term
students who have fallen slightly
below the 2.00 may be approved if
the low academic standing is due

Letters to The
D.C. 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!

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.

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

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...

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.
