to the school organizations that
haven't been provided before,"

SOC president
A special meeting to vote on
the constitution will be held
Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. in
the Reed Lecture Hall. h is open
to the public.
SOC vice president Lori Royer
said, "Student organizations
collectively are the largest group
on campus. Any suggestions,
ideas, and comments that we
decide to relay to the
Administration, to SGA, or to
the Budget Committee will be a
voice too big to ignore."
Royer said the Council will
work with the Budget Committee
to "make a more amicable
process for all involved. There is
a need for better communication
between student organizations and
the Budget Committee."

will be on campus collecting
blood from donors on October 16
and 17, as part of Behrend's

"In previous years we've been
in competition with Mercyhurst
and Gannon to see which school
could donate the most blood, and
last year Behrend won," said
Campus Health Nurse Nancy
Warzyniak. "As an incentive to
achieve the same goal this year,
Pizza Hut will sponsor a pizza

party for the organization with
the most donors." In addition,
every person that donates one
pint of blood will receive a
complimentary water bottle
courtesy of the Erie Blood Bank.

Robert Sauers, a representative
from the Erie Runners' Club,
