Earth Day celebrated
by Tom Strunk
The Collegian
Yesterday marked the twenty
second annual observance of
Earth Day. Observances were held
throughout the nation and on
campus.
At Behrend many students
used the day to heighten their
awareness of the environment.
Many chose to participate by
recycling paper, cans and bottles.
Students Today for
Tomorrow's Earth spent their
time planning Earth Day

activities. They sponsored a
campus-wide cookout to promote
environmental awareness, where a
hot dog, soda, and potato chips
could be purchased for a dollar.
The proceeds of the event will
go to an environmental
organization, which has not yet
been determined. Some money
was also allocated to purchase
saplings, which will be planted
on campus.
The group hopes that apathy
towards Earth Day can be
channelled into a genuine concern
for the environment
Zeta Beta Tau
to walk to
Pittsburgh
Trek a fundraiser for
American Cancer Society
Zeta Beta Tau will be hitting the road this weekend to
raise money for the Erie unit of the American Cancer
Society by embarking on a 140-mile "Walk to Pittsburgh".
This is the second year Zeta Beta Tau has undertaken the
trek to benefit, the American Cancer Society.
"It's great to see the students volunteering for something
like this," said Rick Seibel, special events coordinator for
the Erie society chapter. "It's not often we get unsolicited
volunteers who want to help raise funds for us.” Zeta Beta
Tau raised almost $l,OOO for the society last year.
Siebel said the money raised by Zeta Beta Tau will stay
in Erie; most will be used to fund patient services and
counseling.
After a send-off ceremony and short address by Penn
State-Behrend Provost Dr. John Lilley, Zeta Beta Tau
members and alumni will begin their walk at 3 p.m. this
Friday. The group will walk west along East 38th Street,
then south along Route 19 (Peach Street), which they will
follow into downtown Pittsburgh.
Walkers rotate at 16-mile intervals over the three-day trip
to allow adequate rest.
The brothers plan to end their walk at about 11 a.m.
Sunday at Point State Park, but bridge construction in
Pittsburgh may force them to change their destination to
Three Rivers Stadium.
Anyone wishing to make a donation to their effort may
do so by calling the American Cancer Society at 866-5077.

Jake Sherosky, president of
Students Today for Tomorrow's
Earth said "Some people think it
won't affect them."
The group is also attempting
to bring an environmental
magazine to campus as well as
other types of environmental
literature. Sherosky added,
"People will get involved only if
it affects them directly."

Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovinna
Machine-gun and mortar fire rang through
the air Tuesday as the Serbs battled the
Muslims in the western part of the city.
Three people died in one Sarajevo street.
Radovan Karadzic, the leader of Bosnia's
Serbs, made a radio appeal for an end to the
fighting. Of the 4.4 million people who live
in Bosnia, 28 percent are Serbs. The rest of
the population are Muslims and Croatians
who support independence.
Oslo, Norway Toya, a four year old black
German sheppard-Labrador ran through two
miles of snow in Norway's arctic-mountain
belt to get help . for her injured owner.
Sedrup Ole Hanssen, 52, said he was skiing
Sunday and dislocated his knee after a fall on
a steep slope. After receiving no reply to his
call for help, he tucked his hat into the dog's
collar and instructed her to find his son who
was skiing on a different route. Oiav;
Hanssen's son followed the dog to his father,
who was evacuated by a helicopter.
NATION
Buffalo A clergyman was arrested
Tuesday for pushing a human fetus in the
faces of abortion rights activists during
Operation Rescue's attempt to shut down local
women's clinics. Rev. Robert Schenck, 33,
was charged with disorderly conduct and
cited for "creating a physically offensive
condition," said Angelo Alessandra, police
chief of detectives. Police confiscated the
fetus after it had been knocked out of the
minister's hand to the ground. No
determination was made as to whether the
fetus had been aborted or stillborn.
LOCAL
Erie The five adult members of Lila
Ebright's family have passed lie detector
tests administered earlier this week.
According to Erie Morning News sources, tjie
tests were given by FBI specialists in Erie
and in Lansing, Michigan. The case is now
being treated as a kidnapping instead of a
lost child case. FBI agents are prepared to
check every house from E. 6th to E. 12th and
from Franklin Avenue west to Downing
Avenue. They hope to find people who may
have seen the girl on the day of her
abduction. "What we're trying to establish is
the whereabouts of the child during those
critical hours between the time she was last
seen and when she was reported missing,"
said John Horan, executive director of the
Erie Housing Authority.
