VOL. XVII, No. 1 No doubt you t ve heard a lot about the S.G.A. since the beginning of this term, and by now, you realize that the S.G.A. is probably the most important organiza tion on Campus. The Student Government Association serves as the connecting link between the students and the faculty and adminis tration. The S.G.A. sponsors activities and appropriates money for the activi ties of other Clubs. The members are full-time students with at least a 2.00 cumulative average. They are expected to be dedicated and sincere in making Behrend a better Campus. Carry-over members on the S.G.A. from last year include President Tom O'Connor, Vice President Bill Cook, Steve Fine, and Beth Kra-schneske. The new members are Dick Fasenmeyer, Pam Plasha, Wayne Sasala, Jim Hiner, Jim Barickman, Jim Trozzo, Frank Polimene, Jeff Disend, Bob Dean, and Bob Michaels. Even though you may not be a member of the S.G.A., you can help them by going to activities sponsored by them. If you have any suggestions for im proving Behrend Campus, see any member of the S.G.A. and your suggestion will be discussed at the next meeting. The min utes of all meetings are posted in Erie Hall on the bulletin boards. WANT A JOB IN EUROPE? Every student in America can get a summer job in Europe and a travel grant by applying directly to the European headquarters of the American Student In formation Service in Luxembourg. Jobs are much the same as student sumnf , r vork in the United States with employers S . G .A . Behrend Campus, Erie, Pa. offering work periods ranging from three weeks to permanent employment. Lifeguarding, office work, resort hotel jobs, factory, construction, camp counseling and farm work are only a few categories to be found among the 20,000 jobs ASIS has on file. An interezting summer pastime not found in America is tutoring. Numerous well-to-do European families are inviting American college students to spend the summer with them and teach their children English. Wages range to $4OO a month, and in most cases neither previous experience nor knowledge of a foreign language is required. ASIS, in its ninth year of operation, will place more American students in summer jobs in Europe this summer than ever before. Students interested in working in Europe next summer may write directly to Dept. 11, ASIS, 22 Ave. de la Liberte, Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, enclosing $2 for the ASIS 35-page booklet which contains all jobs, wages, working conditions, etc., job and travel grant applications and to cover the cost of handling and overseas air mail postage. EDITORIAL The fact that the recent S.G.A. elections was not really an election is striking proof of one fact. This fact is not that the S.G.A. is no longer the prestige organization on Campus or that this year's S.G.A. will not function well because its members were not chosen through an elective process. I am quite sure that this year's S.G.A. will be reasonably competent. The point is that most students have an extremely narrow view of education.
