The Health and Wellness
Center has been moved from its
revious location on Jordan Road
to the Carriage House.
If you are a freshman, you may
have noticed them moving into
he new building during your
trientation programs on
Saturday, August 25. They are
w settled in and organized.
Patricia Pasky McMahon, the
nurse practitioner at the center,
believes the new location has
already begun to bring in a
greater number of students and
will continue to because "this
building is more central and more
accessible to both commuters and
residents."
She also said that "the new
building itself should also be
more efficient than the old
building because it is set up more
like a regular health practice. "

There are also offices for the

screening room for HIV testing.
Not only has the location been
changed, but there are also some
new policies at the center this
semester.
First of all, the physician
which comes in every Wednesday
and Thursday now charges $5 for
every visit. There was no fee for
visiting the doctor last year. A
fee was inplemented to make up
for some budget cuts. Students
can see the physician with either
an appointment or just by
walking in, but appointments are
taken care of first.
There is now a doctoral
candidate who comes in 20 hours
a week, replacing the graduate
student who came in last year.

Are there really any
parking problems at
Behrend?
by April Bogdanski
Collegian Staff
Since classes began nearly
three weeks ago, students have
been parking on the grass all
around campus, but especially
near the lower parking lot
between Reed and the new
Academic Complex.
Police and Safety gave a two
week leniency before starting to
ticket the vehicles that were
parked on the grass. They started
ticketing on Thursday, September
9. Before Thursday, they had
been verbally warning people not
to park on the grass.
"The issue is whether they
(students) will park in the back
and walk," said Larry Silvis,
manager of Police and Safety.
SGA president Joe Mycka said
All-U-Day is a great chance for
students at commonwealth
campuses to see University Park.
"It's an excellent opportunity
to go to State College, enjoy the
football game, and interact with
similair students from Penn State
campuses."

He said that there is an abundant
amount of parking behind the
Hammermill Building, but
students just do not want to
walk.
The Health and Wellness
Center's relocation to the
Carriage House made new
parking space available.
Students may now park in the
old center's parking lot, located
on Jordan Road next to Police
and Safety. This lot is located
close to the new Academic
Complex.
Police and Safety were not sure
if there was a parking problem.
They went out on September 9
and found about 60 empty spaces
behind Hammermill and 20
spaces in the lot by Police and
Safety.

They did the same on Friday,
September 10 and found at least
40 spaces available, particularly
in the Hammermill lot.
"The heaviest days for traffic
are Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays," Silvis continued.
"Parking seems to be more
available on Tuesdays and
Thursdays."
After Police and Safety took a
parking count, the major issue
was that there are spaces open
where students don't want to
park, that being behind
Hammermill.
Police and Safety will continue
to ticket students who are parking
on the grass.
