The Penn State Hazleton
Campus campaign for a new
academic center recieved
good news early in the new
year with a $25,000 gift
for a classroom in the
proposed Highacres Academic
Center. The gift of cash
was given anonymously to
the campaign.
This gift sets the Penn
State campaign off to a
good start in 1988, and
brings the campaign chest
to a total of $680,000 in
cash and pledges. Among
the earlier gifts were the
Carmen DeLese family gift
of $25,000 for a named
classroom, an anonymous
cash gift of $35,000, and
gifts of $15,000 from the
Reidler Foundation, and
$15,000 from the Samuel and
Hannah Cohn Foundation for
the Academic Center lobby.
Other major gifts include
$25,000 each from the
People's First National
Bank of Hazleton, Hazleton
National Bank, and the
First Federal Savings &
Loan of Hazleton.
As the five-year campaign
moves into 1988, the
campaign leadership will
focus upon support from the
area industries, and
individual and business
gifts.

SURVEY SAYS...
Ask today's college
students if winning a
million dollars would alter
their plans and eighty
percent would tell you no,
according to the nationwide
Hot Shot Poll of nearly 500
college newspaper editors.
"I'm frankly suprised,"
said James H. McKee,
spokesman for Hot Shot
Schnapps. "I'm not sure
we'd get the same kind of
response from the
post-yuppie "me"
generation--those in their
late thirties and early
forties, who would likely
want to retire immediately
if they came into big
money".
Caution and stability,
the Hot Shot Poll indicted,
were prime factors among
college students today.
Almost two thirds (65.5
percent), for example, said
that during their first
year in the real world,
they would be
spending most of their
income on rent and living
experiences . Close to
half planned to rent their
own apartment or house
during their first year out
of school; and more than 72
percent planned marriage
within ten years, half that
number within five years.
A similar number expected
to have at least two
children after they
married.
Salary expected first year
out of college:
-under $lO,OOO (7.6%)
-$lO,Olll-$20,000 (54.1%)
