by Larisa Lukovics
Collegian Staff Writer
On Thursday, Feb. 9, health
center nurse Mary Ann Weiner
presented a program on getting
high naturally. The program was
part of National Collegiate Drug
and Alcohol Awareness Week.
There are six ways to
experience the sensation of
getting high without the aid of
harmful substances, according to
Weiner. She defines those as
physical, intellectual, vocational,
social communication,
emotional, and spiritual highs.
Through a "physical high,"
one can experience a high
through- extensive activity such
as running, walking, and
sometimes even sex.

Most people in society block
qut their physical needs such as
sleeping and eating. Weiner feels
it is necessary to attain a physical
high in order to get back in
contact with these physical needs.
She explained that an
"intellectual high" consists of
successfully solving a problem or
finally understanding a concept.
Teachers are able to enjoy this
high as well as students through
their lectures and the satisfaction
gained through having the
students understand the lectures
given.
A "vocational high" is also
known as an occupational high
acquired through a sense of
accomplishment in the work
place. This occurs when the line

Barrel for Charity
by Maria Plaza
Collegian News Editor
Tau Kappa Epsilon rolled out
the barrel for the benefit of the
Erie Food Bank last Friday and
Saturday.
Members of the fraternity
raised about $6,000 for the Erie
Food Bank by rolling a modified
beer keg 100 miles in about 18
hours.
"We're really proud of it," said
TKE vice president Eric Feldman.
"It was a good experience to do
something for people . . . . and
we hope it brought some good
PR for the Greek system here."
Every member of the
fraternity participated in the trek
that visited such remote parts of
Erie County as Albion, Union
City, and the Ohio state line. The
rollers were given a police escort
through dwntown Erie.

Bond was born in Nashville,
Tennesee in 1940. After moving
to Pennsylvania with his family
in 1945 and graduating from the
George School, a co-educational
Quaker School in Bucks County
in 1957, he entered Morehouse
College in Atlanta, Ga. It was
during his college years that Bond
first discovered his vocation.

The bad weather and the cold
caused some problems, but
Feldman said that "we stuck it
out . . it went pretty
smoothly."
This is the first time
Behrend's TKE chapter has had a
barrel roll, but they hope it will
become an annual event.
Inspiration came from a coast-to
coast roll held by the national
fraternity every other year that
raises millions of dollars for St.
Jude's Childrens Hospital. St.
Jude spokesman Danny Thomas
is a TKE member.
The national roll has been
threatened by problems such as
liability coverage, but Feldman
says that if it is held again,
Behrend will participate. "We're
lucky though," he said. "We'll
only have to roll it to Gannon (in
downtown Erie)--they'll have to
roll it all the way to Ohio."
