Student Auxiliary now ,
assists campus police officers
by Chris Dyne
Collegian Staff Writer
The Department of Police and
Safety is being aided in their law
enforcement role on campus by
eight Behrend stundents.
Behrend's new , Student
Auxiliary provides 88 hours of
coverage a week and consists of
eight students who patrol the
campus on foot, and are enpowerexl
to issue parking tickets.
The program is headed by
Randy Hoffman, Behrend's
manager of Police and Safety.
"They help assist
with tedious job ...
and are good to
have around for
company while
patrolling on foot."
-Todd Allen
Police and Safety
Officer
"They are our eyes and ears,"
explained Hoffman.
Some= of the duties of the
student auxiliary include locking
and unlocking - buildings, and
checking on night assistants, but
the SA was formed mainly
because of the interest expressed in
an escort service.
The escort service is just now
being instituted, but is available
to escort students between on
campus locations should they need
it.
Council Commonwealth Campuses
denied its bid for representation
Group wants to help select new president
by Tony Olivito
Collegian Staff Writer
The Council of Common
wealth Student Government
(CCSG), of which Behrend is a
member, has been denied a
request to be represented on a
committee that will help
choose Penn State's next
president
The request was turned
down by the Board of Trustees
at University Park.
"The governing body of the
commonwealth deserves a seat
on the committee," said
Behrend's Student Government
Association President Stan
Washington.
The CCSG claims the
rejection increases feelings of
alienation among Penn States
commonwealth campuses, ac
cording to Washington.
