For Kids
Behrend's Top of the Hill
Club has been collecting
Campbell's Soup labels and
Giant Eagle cash register receipts
to benefit Dielh Elementary
School.
According to TOTH president
Tom Wilkinson, the club hopes
to collect enough cash register
receipts to earn an Apple
computer for Diehl, Behrend's
adopted school.
Students may place the
receipts and labels in the boxes
decorated by Diehl students.
Boxes are located in the Reed
Building, the Computer Center,
the Nick Building, and the
laundry rooms. More boxes will
be available soon.
The Top of the Hill Club is a
student organization for non
traditional (23 and older) students.

exceeded the administration's
target of 2500 by approximately
200, limited classroom
availability still posed problems.
"The resources of the college
are both physical and human,"
said Schenker, "We have three
primary resources that we must
get to come together. The
classrooms, which are a physical
resource; the instructors, which
are .a human resource; and the
students, who are the human
client resource. The objective
when you're putting a schedule
together is to keep in mind that
you have a limited physical
resource in the classrooms and a
limited human resource in the
instructor end of it, based on a
budget. Sometimes it's like
trying to fit six or seven fingers
into a five fingered glove."
More Behrend majors will be
coming under enrollment
restrictions, some as early as fall
of this year, in order to control
student population. Other steps
must be taken to alleviate class
space problems.
"Right now, Behrend is locked
tight," said Schenker. "We not
only have high
classrooms, but a secondary
figure we look at and that's called
your seating station. Every desk
in your classroom is called a
seating station or a student
station. That particular student
station should never be utilized at
100 percent, yet there are many
times when we utilize our
classrooms at 30f.) percent with
the study nc station use being
very, very high," he said.
"That is a constraint that we
here at Behrend are trying to
address, with Dr. Lilley's
leadership, and securing the new
academic complex and library
building," he added.
Until additional classroom
space can be provided, class
scheduling will go on much the
same as it had in the recent past.
As new buildings are constructed,
future Penn State Behrend
students should realize increased
case in scheduling class times
that fit their particular lifestyles

Adcording to some members
of Women Today, more should
be done on campus to dispel
discriminating views of women.
"It is very disappointing that the
University doesn't see the need to
promote Women's Month to the
same extent as Black History
Month. They don't feel that
problems of being a woman are
as much of a challenge as being
black," said Maurica George, the
Secretary/Treasurer of Women
Today.
According to George, the
members of "Women Today"
would like to see more done on
this campus for the rights of
women. Just as many programs
should be focused on women as
on other minorities, she said.
Ball
The guest speaker for the
evening, Colonel John E.
McAllister, the Chief of Staff of
the 99th U.S. Army Reserve
Command, gave an after-dinner
speech about leadership. Then the
Colors were retrieved and DJ
Mike Reno played music for
dancing.
Almost 100 people attended
the Ball, including people from
Behrend College, the community
and various military units from
around the area.
