The Collegian
In the wake of scathing cries
of unfair collegiate competition,
Provost and Dean Dr. John M.
Lilley called a press conference
last Thursday to clarify Penn
State's mission in Northwestern
Pennsylvania.
The action stemmed from
accusations by Gannon
University President Dr. Daniel
Henry that the relocation of
Behrend's Continuing Education
(CE) Center to a temporary
downtown site created unfair
competition between private and
public universities. The new CE
Center, located at 154 West 9th
St., is positioned on a corner
facing Gannon's Zurn Science
Center.
In an interview with the Erie
Morning News, Henry called the
move unfair "because of the large
amount of tax support they (Penn

They would prefer to leave it as

already been set to "try and
execute Hussein publicly in a
town square."
Although not yet publicly
disclosed, Anderson revealed
Bush's plan to continue allied air
raids even if the Iraqi army had
begun pulling out of Kuwait.
"The first priority is to destroy
the Iraqi military," said Anderson.
Based on Bush's public stance
on a short war, Anderson
speculates authorization for
"limited nuclear missile strikes,"
would occur before the United
States implemented the draft.
However, no orders have been
given to use nuclear weapons,

This Monday Anderson
reported on the infiltration of

terrorists would have difficulty in
the United States because of "a

them and supply them with

Lilley's remarks were
reinforced last week when Penn
State President Dr. Joab Thomas

University community

million cut in state aid.
When asked about the
controversial move downtown,
Lilley viewed the relocation as
"friendly competition" and
emphasized that the action is
temporary.
"We've leased the location for
a three year period, and we hope
to return the Center to the
Behrend Campus by the end of
that term."

new location in December to
create space for the College's
