Faculty and Staff Campaign
$15,000 for campus projects
Plan allows for choice of payment and its use
by Daniele Sadres
Collegian Staff Writer
Each year members of
Behrend's faculty and staff are
given a request to contribute to
the Faculty and Staff Campaign.
Over one third of Behrend's
faculty and staff this year
responded with a donation.
The campaign raised over
$15,000 to benefit Behrend.
Staff members who were
interested were given an
opportunity to contribute in three
ways: through a direct donation,
through a set amount to be taken
out of his or her's next paycheck,
or through a sum to be taken out
of his or her pay for a definite or
indefinite number of pay periods.
The donations were
completely voluntary, and money
given at Behrend stays at

Recycling program soon to begin

Glitches in marketing, education to be worked out
by Tony Olivito
Collegian News Editor
If the 1980 s were the years of
nuclear concern then the 1990 s
will most likely be the decade
characterized by environmental
awareness.
In popular press polls
nationwide, the environment has
ranked second to the deficit in
priorities of U.S. citizens.
Corporations, educational
institutions and local
governments have recognized
this trend and started recycling
programs.
As of July 1, 1990, Behrend
charged with DUI,
evacuated again
a potpourri burner. The building
was reopened within
approximately 30 minutes.
In a related case, resident
assistants reported that fire alarms
on the east wing of Niagara Hall
failed to operate during the
emergency. Subsequent
investigation led to the discovery
that the fire alarm bell on the
second floor had been removed
and cut wires had deactivated
alarms throughout the east wing.
Hoffman's report indicated that
the last known operation of the
alarms was March 29. Anyone
with information is asked to
contact the department at
Extension #6lOl.
Car damages
A resident student reported
that his vehicle was damaged
while it was parked in the
University Park.
Faculty and Staff were also
permitted to designate where they
wanted their money to go.
Lynn Weber, associate director
of Development and University
Relations, sees this as an
advantage to the campaign.
"They would give knowing
their money would be going to
support their particular pet
project," she stated.
Weber also expressed feelings
that the support of the faculty and
staff of the college helps to
attract the support of others.
"We go to the community to
ask for money also. To be able to
say to the community, 'The
faculty and staff support Behrend'
is a nice thing," said Weber.
A celebration was held by the
college on April 12 to show
appreciation for the contributions
made to the campaign by the

Harassment, disorderly conduct
Police charged a resident
student for disorderly conduct and
harassment early Sunday morning
after officers observed him
kneeling on the walkway between
Perry and Niagara Halls.
According to Hoffman’s report,
the subject was yelling at people
as they passed. He refused to
quiet down and began shouting
obscenities at the officer. The
suspect was released to a friend
after he was charged.
Hoffman reported that a set of
keys was found on campus and
delivered to the Police and Safety
Office in South Cottage.

"We were very happy and
pleased with the number of
faculty and staff that gave," stated
Weber.
She hopes that students
receive a positive message from
the results of the campaign.
"Sixteen percent of the faculty
gave last year and this year it was
thirty five percent, or one third of
the faculty. I think you guys
should be real proud of the fact
that your faculty care enough
about you and the college to want
to support you and to give out of
their own pocket for programs so
that your education will be
better," Weber stated.
Weber feels the campaign
greatly benefits the students,
"The student is the bottom line.
They are the ones that are
gaining."

Housing workers will be

Each apartment will receive

However, residents will be
