Architects miss deadline
Joe Rllliams
Collegian Staff Writer
Work on a new library and
academic complex that was to
have begun this fall has been
delayed until spring.
"The architects went beyond
their deadline which caused delays
downstream," said Jack Burke,
associate provost and senior
associate dean. "The architects
have turned -their plans over to
the Department of General
Services, whichseviewed them."
The _department had_ . some
engineering questions which had
to be resolved. •
The project is now with the
director of the budgets desk,, who
will package the project and send
it out for bids soon, according to
Burke. Dates haven't been set for
the bidding, but by the time it's
completed the ground will
probably be frozen.
Nine point seven million
dollars have been set aside for the
project by the state government.

Communication Center, the
circulation desk, language labs,
more LIAS computers, and group
study rooms. .
The main level will have the
reference collection, periodicals, a
gallery, offices, and study space.
"The library will provide space
for .900 students to study at one
time," said Rose. •
The academic buildingg - will
provide additional classrooms,
faculty offices and will hold the
Division of Humanities and
Social Sciences. •

constriction in mid-spring. Once

Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
Week.
Hansis and several team
members of the Panther's hockey
club spoke to Behrend students
about athletics and substance
abuse.
Steve Moore and Darrin
Miciak represented the Panther's
players at the seminar.
Hansis opened the evening by
talking about his feelings on
substance abuse.
Hansis said that the human
body is the most valuable asset a
human has. He continued by
saying that there is nothing more
important than a person's health,
repeating the old adage that "you
can't buy health."
Hansis said that hockey, like
all sports, is demanding and
stressful on the human body.
Why, Hansis reasoned, be even
more stressful on your body by
partaking in drugs or alcohol.

SWUM POLICY D . . . ZIONT DIUVI AFTER mumusci
The Erie Panthers had a
highly successful season last
year, being crowned East Coast
Hockey League (ECHL) regular
season champions and earning the
top playoff berth_
But the Panthers started
celebrating their regular season
success a little too early, said
Hamis.
Several of the Panthers were
spotted at some of Erie's
"watering holes," he said.
The Panthers promptly
dropped their first playoff series,
losing in four straight games.

According to Hansis, the
players who had been out
celebrating really let down the
team. The players thought it was
possible to celebrate and play
good hockey, but Hansis knew
that they were "burning the
candle at both ends."
Hansis mentioned the ECHL's
policy on substance abuse. The
ECHL conducts random drug
testing during the season. If
caught for substance abuse, the

"I'm concerned with the
problem of controversi al
issues," said WPSE Station
Manager Ken Bunting.
"I get the feeling (the
administration) is concerned the
University might be shown in a
bad light and they are steering
us away from controversial
issues," he added.
"I think there are some
stories that we should do that
might not reflect well on
Behrend," agreed Mark Owens,
news director for WPSE..
"The station is different from

much broader audience and have
to cater to a much larger group
than just the school. But,
