At A Glance. . .
Patricia Roberts, an active member of the Erie County
Republican Party, was elected the first female member of the
Erie Maennerchor Club. The Maennerchor Club, which has been
all-male for 120 years, had fallen under criticism for rejecting the
applications of six women including Erie County Judge
Stephanie Domitrovich, although the club had changed its charter
to allow female members six years ago. "I think this will give
other women encouragement that they can be members," Roberts
said.
Men losing their hair should look to their hearts. A
study found that men aged 21 to 55 who are severely bald are
three times as likely to suffer heart attacks than men with a full
head of hair. Men with mild to moderate balding have a 1 1/2
times greater risk. The reason for the apparent link between
balding and heart attacks remains unknown, although researchers
speculate that a male hormone necessary for baldness may have a
role in suppressing "good" HDL cholesterol, which protects the
heart. The study consisted of 665 male heart attack victims and
772 similar men who had not suffered heart attacks. The study
was published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical
Association.
"The bold growth package proposed by President
Clinton on February 17 delivers on the commitments he had
made repeatedly to small businesses and.its adoption is essential
to economic growth and job creation at home and America's
competitive position in the global economy," acting United
States Small Business Administrator Dayton J. Watkins said.
Watkins specifically praised the President's tax
proposals and his proposals for a permanent seven percent
investment tax.
The United States, in cooperation with the United
Nations will make an effort to parachute supplies into the former
Yugoslavia, officials said Tuesday. The Clinton administration
has downplayed the risk of such an operation, saying it would
not embroil the United States in the savage ethnic battles in
Bosnia. The White House is currently considering extending aid
to Serbian towns, as well as Croatian and Muslim areas, in the
hopes that such actions will lessen chances of Serb retaliation.
The Rodney King civil rights trial, scheduled to begin
Wednesday, was delayed by two legal obstacles. Alleged
prejudicial comments made by the only black female juror have
lead to a request for a mistrial by lawyers defending four white
police officers. Officer Timothy Wind claims that his defense
lawyer, Paul Depasquale, has a conflict of interest because he
used to be a law partner with Michael Stone, who is defending
suspended police officer Laurence Powell. The case will be
postponed until Federal Judge John Davies rules on the requests.

Sex and the
Single Voter School children
Internationally known political
consultant Sally Hunter,
originator of the documentary
style "uncommercial" that makes
a candidate's thirty seconds look
more like 60 Minutes than an
advertisement, will speak on
"Sex and the Single Voter"
Tuesday, March 2, at Behrend.
Her lecture will begin at 7
p.m. in Room 101 of the Otto
Behrend Science Building.
Hunter is head of Sally Hunter
Productions/Video Base
International, a New York-based
video production company that
specializes in producing long
form political documentaries for
candidates in the United States
and abroad.
Video Base International
pioneered the use of the
"documercial," an advertising
style that mimics the look, feel,
and credibility of television news.
Among Hunter's typical
assignments: producing a video
biography for a Nobel Peace
Prize candidate, a documentary on
famine in The Sudan used to
request $lOO million in aid from
the United States, a video
explaining food service and
nutrition programs to patients at
a major medical center, and a
presentation for a medical
research group designed to
forestall government regulation.
The multi-lingual Hunter has
produced- films in Spanish,
French, Creole, Italian, Japanese,
Arabic, and Portuguese for
political candidates--including
presidential candidates--in Costa
Rica, Italy, Great Britain,
Venezuela, The Sudan, the
Dominican Republic, Mauritius,
Puerto Rico, and Bolivia.
Prior to founding Video Base
International in 1983, Hunter
worked as a reporter at Newsweek
magazine and Copenhagen Times
magazine, and a general manager
of Newsweek magazine's now
defunct video division.
"Sex and the Single Voter" is
free and open to the public. For
more information about Hunter's
lecture, please call the Division
of Humanities and Social
Sciences, 898-6108.

to visit
Behrend

News Editor
The future of Behrend is
here. Sixty Corry and St.
Andrews school students will
be visiting today and
tomorrow.
"We are doing it at the
request of the public to show
children what a college campus
is like," said Mari Trenkle,
Academic Support Programs
Coordinator, who put together
the itinerary for the visits.
There will be 35 first grade
students from Corry coming
today, arriving at the Reed
Building around 12:00 p.m.
They will then begin a walking
tour of the campus guided by
Lion Ambassadors and Campus
Tours Admissions Tour
Guides.
During the tour, one group
will stop by Science 110 to
attend a demonstration by Dr.
Tucker, while the other group
will go to Nick 5 to visit with
Dr. Cunningham for a small
mammals exhibit. After that
they will reunite in the
Wintergarden for milk and
cookies. They will leave
around 1:30 p.m.
"We are just letting the
children catch a glimpse of
college," said Trenkle.
A second batch will arrive by
11:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Twenty-five sixth, seventh, and
eighth graders from St.
Andrews will begin with a
walking tour of the campus,
and the highlight will be the
Computer Center.
At 11:30 the students will
join in the Wintergarden for
milk and cookies and will then
break into small groups to talk
with individual students,
including volunteers from the
Association of Black
Collegians about college life.
"For the St. Andrews
students, this is a career day.
They'll have a one-on-one
experience with Behrend
students. This is very
important to some of the
students for the process of
choosing a major and a
college."
from POOR on page 2
They also received a situation
card, which had a positive or
negative impact on each group's
advancement.
Ron Gray, a RA and seventh
semester human resource
management major, played the
Options Game.
Gray learned how the rich
manipulate the poor to better
their status, and how the middle
class also manipulates the poor.
He realized the limited
options of the poor and why
they often resort to illegal
activities.
Tesha Nesbit, an eighth
semester communication major,
who was a member of the rural
poor admitted, "It's frustrating
being poor. I now understand
what people (living in poverty)
are going through."
Jacquie Wade, founder of
HRPC, concluded "The Options
Game gave students insight into
the limited options of the poor
in real life and what they have
to work with."
from WHITE on page
Awareness Week during the fall,
Gallagher said the program needed
"more publicity and more
involvement with other
organizations."
The White-Out was concluded
with a field sobriety test
conducted by the Department of
Police and Safety. Mocktails
were served by members of KDR
in Perry Hall.
