Renovation project to
start next spring
Starting next Spring,
construction of a two-story
addition to Erie Hall will begin.
The project will cost
approximately one million
dollars and will include more
gymnasium floor space, new
training facilities and a lift for
handicapped students.
Athletic Director Herb
Lauffer, while pleased that the
athletic facilities-at Behrend will
be improving, says this is only a
temporary measure.
"This is only a band-aid
approach," said Lauffer. "It will
tide us over until we get a bigger
building."
The ground floor will have a
new suite of offices for the staff,
additional classrooms, new locker
rooms, a new training room, and
public restrooms.
The second floor will hold the
additional 48 feet of gymnasium
floor space, a new lobby and a

A season that was looked
upon with much promise,
continues as a series of missed
opportunities.
The Behrend men's soccer
team was 0-1-1 last week after
settling for a 1-1 overtime tie at
Westminster and suffering a 1-0
setback against Grove City.
The Lions are now 3-10-3 for
the season with only three games
remaining.
On Saturday, at Westminster
(6-3-2), the Lions were able to
force the extra period when David
Beck converted a second half
ienalty kick. The penalty kick
resulted from -a Titan foul inside
the 18 yard line.
Despite continued pressure and
a total of 16 shots on goal,
Behrend was unable to notch the
game-winner.

October 18 proved to be a
tough day for the Behrend
women's volleyball team. The
girls dropped both matches of a
tri-match contest against Geneseo
and Allegheny Colleges.
On Saturday, the lady spikers
split their two matches, defeating
Carnegie-Mellon University and
almost upsetting St. John Fisher
(7-15, 15-8, 13-15), who entered
the contest with a 29-1 record.
In Wednesday's match against
Geneseo, Erica Scribner played
one of her best games. She
played flawlessly at the net

concession stand.
Also, the stage will be walled
off and the room created will be
used for storage of sports
equipment.
Lauffer also stressed that the
renovations will bring more than
just the much needed practice
space to Erie Hall. Lauffer said
that, "It will help the morale of
our professional staff and will
also help our recruiting. It will
also provide some safety."
While Behrend may be
gaining some much needed space
for both varsity practices and
physical education classes, some
athletic needs still won't be filled.
The campus will still not have an
indoor track, raquetball courts, or
an indoor swimming pool.
According to Lauffer, "We
don't . want to put too much
money into Erie Hall because we
don't•want to hurt our chances for
a new facility."

was the only shot to get by
Gronholm as he turned aside 17
of 18 shots.
Head Coach Herb Lauffer said,
"Overall, we played a pretty solid
game. The opportunities were
there for more goals, but we just
didn't execute as well as we could
of offensively."
Prior to this contest, the
Lions lost another one goal affair
when they dropped their home
match with the Grove City
Wolverines on October 18.
Lance Sabados netted the
game-winner for the visitors with
an unassisted tally at the 25:40
mark of the second half.
Unfortunately, things will not
get any easier for the Lions when
they visit the Gannon Knights
(10-2-1) today at 3 pm at Scott
Park. Behrend will close out the
home portion of their schedule
against Houghton College on
Saturday.
