learn from experiences of others
by - Jodi McWilliam's
Collegian Staff Writer
The Inter-Club Council (ICC)
is sponsoring an Emerging
Leaders Series under the direction
of . Charles Gable, 'GC_ vice
president.
Topics range from "Women's
Issues in Leadership" to "The Do's.
and Don't's of Delegation."
All speakers participate on a
voluntary basis. Most are either
students or professors at Behrend.
Each will speak on his or her old
of specialty in a informal
discussion setting.
John Downey, Coordinator of
Student Organizations - and
Program Development, believes
that students are . lectured enough
in class and that these discussion
groups should be
_completely
student oriented. Something on
the lines of "I know something
that you might want to know."

calls made from their dorm
telephone.

Behrend's Department of Police
and Safety, a male student
reported receiving annoying
phone calls late at night on
October 10. The matter was
investigated by Officer Paul
Douglas the following morning.
Campus police were , notified
at -11:50 pm on October 11 that
calls were again being received.
Officer Chip Sanders responded.
A tracing device was used to
determine the calls were being
made from Room 238 in Niagara
Hall, Extension #6670. Both
male residents of that room could
face possible action from the
Student Disciplinary Board.
Department files indicate a
male student was arrested for
possession of alcoholic beverage
by a minor on October 14. A
resident advisor in Perry Hall

his room and notified campus
police. The department filed
charges against the student after it
was determined that he was under
21.

Dr. and wife face
prostitution charges
(CPS)- An adult couple's sex
tour of West Coast college
campuies has ended with a doctor
and his wife facing prostitution
charges.
Police charged Rodney Thorp
Wood and his wife Nancy Steffen
Wood lured male students at the
UniVersity of Oregon into sex by
telling them it was part of an
Oxford University project
"evaluating the sexual potential
of the mature female." The
couple then offered to pay the
student $lO for each orgasm
either partner had.
However, the couple was
conducting the "research" for
themselves, not for Oxford
University as they had claimed,
police said.
Mrs. Wood distributed an
introduction letter to young - men
on campus, explaining the
supposed research project_
"Because there was money
exchanged for a sexual act, it was
prostitution," said Eugene, Ore.,
police Sgt. Rick Gilliam.
Gilliam charged Rodney
Thorp with promoting
prostitution and Nancy Wood
with prostitution. A 19-year-old
Oregon student who allegedly
participated in a "session" also is
being charged with prostitution.
Police were tipped by two
students and a police officer

pOsini as a student, who
contacted _the, couple in their
hotel.'
Police found a list of schools,
including Oregon State
University, the universities of
Washington, California at
Berkeley, Victoria and British
Columbia, in their room.
Phony sex research
on campus is not
uncommon.
"They were traveling the West
Coast with major universities on
their itinerary," Gilliam said. "As
I understand from a background
check in New York, they're real
affluent and giving away this
kind of money isn't going to hurt
them."
Phony sex research on campus
is not uncommon. Many
schools, including the
universities of Nebraska and
Texas in Austin, have reported
cases in which phone callers pose
as researchers in order to get
students to talk in detail about
their sex lives.
