This past weekend changes
were made in dispatching Police
and Safety officers that should
improve response time in
emergency situations, according
to Police and Safety Manager
Larry Silvis.
After 10 p.m. weekdays and
on weekends calls placed to
Police and Safety will go to East
Erie County Communications
Center (EECCC). EECCC is the
primary dispatching center for
fire, police and medical services
for the eastern portion of Eric
County.
"This change will be
extremely beneficial for the
campus community," said Silvis.
"This service will greatly increase
response time to emergencies, as
well as access to trained
personnel."
During the day calls to the
Police and Safety office (6101
and 6231) will be answered by
the on-duty operator. After 10
p.m. calls on those lines will go

Conference
opportunity
Last Saturday the
Student Organization
Council (SOC) held its
1992 Spring Leadership
Conference. Over 70
students, ranging from new
leaders to veteran
presidents, were at the
conference.
"The theme of the
conference," said Lori
Royer, president of SOC,
"was to motivate student
leaders as well as future
student leaders."

Workshops at the
conference ranged from
meeting procedures to
handling leader transitions.
The retreat was designed to
meet the needs of different
leaders by offering sessions
for new, experienced,
Greek leaders and
graduating seniors.
One speaker, David
Maxwell, assistant dean of
students at Allegheny
College, spoke about the
importance of etiquette on
job interviews and how to
properly use table utensils.

"White people have raped,
murdered, plundered, deceived and
tricked every race that they have
ever come in contact with."
This statement appeared in an
Opinion page column which ran
in last Tuesday's edition of The
Daily Collegian at State College.
Chino Wilson, a black senior
journalism major, wrote the
column, entitled "African
Americans should not trust
'devilish' white people."
The column advocated
violence against whites, and
suggested that blacks should
unite, organize and execute
(whites).
Wilson also wrote that "85-90
percent (of white people) ... are
devout racists," and went on to
list historical offenses against
blacks.
Wilson's column, which has
gained national attention on radio
talk shows, has created quite a
stir among University Park
students and has caused a reaction

interviewed from the time

said.
A major goal of the
conference was to attempt
to get more students in the
various organizations at
Behrend.
