Collegian Staff Writer
A celebration of cultures will
take place tonight in the Reed
Winter Garden between 6 and 9
pm.
Africa, Asia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Ireland, Israel,
Korea, and Jamaica are just some
of the countries being
represented.
The art, food, customs,
history, dance, and literature of
each country will be displayed,
all through the students' own
initiatives.
"Why shouldn't anyone go?
People should take pride in their
cultural heritage. If you don't go,
you're limiting yourself,"
responded Student Services
Assistant Elvage Murphy.
"In order to be a success in
life, you have to learn how to

AIDS expert Keeling will
speak at Behrend to
highlight Wellness Week
An emphasis on prevention is
the thrust of Wellness Awareness
week April 16 through 20,
culminating with AIDS expert
Dr. Richard Keeling's speech.
Keeling will speak on
Tuesday April 17 in the Reed
Lecture Hall.
His speech is the last of
Behrend's speaker sales.
In keeping with the series’
theme of issues for the 19905,
Keeling will be addressing "AIDS
in the 19905: New Challenges
and New Hopes."
According to a survey with
which Keeling is closely
associated, roughly three out of
every thousand university
graduates test positive for the
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) that precedes the AIDS
disease. This number is
increasingly the result of
heterosexual contact.
In addition to Keeling's
lecture, Behrend has planned a
variety of Wellness Awareness
events.
Programs range from how to
avoid sexual assault to
cholesterol and diabetes
screening.
Alpha Phi Omega and
Students Against Drink Trivia
will be sponsoring a "Car Bash,"

master
plan
revealed
by Lea Gotch
Collegian Staff Writer
Behrend College will be going
through a transformation over the
next 10 to IS years. A Master
Plan for change has been devised
that includes future buildings and
facilities, parking, roads,
walkways, and campus aesthetics.
In the immediate future,
changes include the Erie Hall
renovations, added parking, a new
library, and three new residence
halls.
Also in the plan are an
athletic complex, new athletic
fields, new academic and research
buildings, more residence halls, a
performing arts center, and
additions to the student union and
dining hall.
Erie Hall
The Erie Hall renovations
which began April 2 will be
finished before classes begin in
August according to Provost and
Dean John M. Lilley.
Changes involve extending
the gym area and completely
renovating the lower level
interior including the locker
rooms, weight room, and offices.
As the result of a study done
by national experts, a new plan
for parking was recently
completed.
Three new lots will be built
this summer. A 220 car capacity
lot will be located behind the
maintenance building, one behind
Hammermill and Nick, and one
on the other side of Jordan Road
near Station Road.
A new parking fee will also
be in effect beginning fall
semester 1990. Faculty, staff, and
students will be required to pay
$B.OO per month for parking.
"That income will add 4SO
parking spaces," said Lilley.
New residence halls
Three new residence halls will
be ready for occupancy fall
semester 1991. They will provide
housing for 192 students.
One will be located
immediately above Perry Hall.
The other two will be behind this
one forming a horseshoe that
opens toward Jordan Road.
The parking lot below the
apartments will be shortened to
accommodate the buildings.
"These residence halls will be
a style like nothing on campus
and they will be very attractive,"
