G DirOQ'S domHemr By Kathryn Herr Editor in Chief kah92B@psu.edu As you read through the paper you may notice that we decided not to write the "Where's the Cheese" article in lieu of some upcoming additions to Stacks Market. While these additions may be a result of some com plaining in my previous editor's comments, I'll take it any way I can. As you all know, I have long been an advocate for the arrival of the Grilled Cheese. Therefore, I will thank in advance those who have given into my cries. I believe that grilled cheese and chicken fin gers may soon be regular items. Also, I want you all to stop bug ging Donna because she does n't have the answer. On another note, I have a sug gestion for the entertainment committee. Members of my staff and I have brainstormed ideas for utilizing the stage area in the cafeteria. One idea was that we hold regular open-mic nights for students who are musically tal ented or at least think they are. As a shoot off of that idea we thought karaoke night would also be fun. In a letter to the edi tor SGA president, Rodney Horton expresses his anger about student apathy. While the entertainment committee does a great job at booking events for the campus, these are just sug gestions for wintertime activities for people like my staff (who are always here anyway). THON is quickly approaching and I hope all of you are going to travel the two hours to State College to lend your support.

In her life, Francy has visited 34 countries and at least half of the United States. Her favorite country to visit is Thailand, and she loves food from India, although it does not beat a chicken finger sub from her hometown, Buffalo, NY.

This is believed to be an enzyme that, when overproduced, causes tumor cells to grow. Ultimately, Francy's team is trying to devel op a drug that will stop the over production of this enzyme. Francy loves science because of the idea that you can discover something unique, especially cures to diseases. "I would like to create a positive impact through science on health in developing countries," she said. She decid ed to do research because she was interested in the medical field, however, she did not want the emotional pressure of patients. "I didn't want to deal with blood and guts all the time," said Francy. Her other experi ences in pharmacology include internships with the New York State Department of Health, Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research, and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, who manufacture the allergy drug, Allegra. The Ph.D. program at Hershey Medical Center brought Francy to the Harrisburg area.

Always attempting to better the college experience for all stu dents at Penn State Harrisburg, President Rodney Horton and Senior Senator of Public Affairs Robert Kikola thought it would be best to first start taking of care of problems internally, meaning the SGA constitution. Under Resolution #1 of 2005, the constitution will undergo a complete overhaul, fixing prob lems that range from minor, such as poor grammar or spelling, to major issues, such as direct con tradictions.

After graduating last semester, she remained on the Penn State Harrisburg campus, this time as an instructor, to teach the 4 credit class, 810L220W, Biology of Molecules and Cells. Only nine students are enrolled in this class. Despite the small class size, Francy's interest in the subject and the caliber of the students make the class enjoyable for her to teach. Francy especially enjoys the lab oratory portion of the class. She takes pleasure in observing the students and watching them work through their problems. The class size also allows for a great deal of informality. At the beginning of a class dedicated to cell anatomy, Francy opened the lecture by playing the Phish song "Golgi Apparatus," which is also an organelle of a cell. Francy admitted that when she prepares for the lectures, she sometimes has to re-learn some classroom information. "It's actually very good for my research," said Francy.

Horton and Kikola were adamant that all branches; executive, leg islative, and judicial, would be able to have input into the final draft. Besides focusing on its own constitution, the SGA was pre sented with the Harrisburg Anime Association's (HAA) con stitution by the judicial branch, which approved its content. Members of HAA had introduced themselves and the organization prior to the vote and waited in the gallery for the final vote.

The allocation sparked some fire from Horton and Senior Senator-at-Large Marquita Giles, however, the allocation nonetheless passed without opposition.
