Page 6 Editorial... Today many of you will be reading about something you have never heard of before. You will read that in the near future Behrend students could be paying an activities fee that will be included in their tuition. This weekend five members of our Student Government will be going to the CCSG (Commonwealth Campus Student Government) meeting at University Park. Two of these members will be voting on whether to recommend the activities fee to the University administration. These students who are representing the entire student body of Behrend, were elected last spring during an election which drew only 11% of the student body. How well does this speak of our campus, when only one of every ten students even voted in the election? The Student Government at our campus is an important and active organization. They won the Best Student Organization Award last year, yet only 11% of the student body bothered to vote in last year's election, and there are never more than five students at an SGA meeting. Hopefully, our two representatives will represent us well at CCSG. If they don't, whose fault will it be? Letter to the editors Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank several people, student organizations, and offices for their help in making Parents and Families/Homecoming Weekend a success. We made substantial changes to the Weekend this year, and we have found a model that will become a tradition at Penn State-Behrend. I would like to publicly thank several people whose individual efforts contributed greatly to the overall success of the weekend. They include Bonnie Fagan, Pat Smith, Teryl Anderson, Marcos Lopez, Jamie Rossi, Dayna Casiglio, Herb Lauffer, Tom Slye, Mary Magestro, Brent Vernon, Lori Korman, Mike Libidinsky, , Dianna Malinowski, Marge Wizikowski, Linda Kaleta, and the many student volunteers that helped out during the weekend. There are also several student organizations and offices that I would like to thank for their extra help and support during the weekend. These organizations and offices include the Maintenance Department, Housing and Food Services, the custodial staff, Police and Safety, the Penn State-Behrend Alumni Society, the soccer team, the volleyball team, the softball team, the Greek system, and the clubs and organizations that participated in the many pre weekend activities. The success of Parent's and Families/Homecoming Weekend could not have been realized without the hard work and dedication from the people and organizations mentioned above. We owe them all our thanks for improving the quality of life on campus for all of us. Sincerely, David P. Shields, Jr. Director of Student Activities 0 PINIONS Editorial Cartoons Thursday, October 7, 1993 Piao o .9liSiinT f*Rityr j -•
