SPC president Tom Keefe said,
"We want all students to come to
the event. Because Pedro is from
Cuba we expect to draw a lot of
minority students."
He continued, "The number of
HTV infections among minorities
is rising at an alarming rate.
Other (non-minority) students
will come because of his
popularity and fame. For
whkever reason students attend,
they me guaranteed to learn
something... something that can
save their lives."
According to the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), only
20% of all sexually active college
women consistently use
condoms. Also, a 1991 random
study of college campuses
revealed that one in every 500
students was infected with HTV.

Carol Maier of Kent State
University.
Valle-Inclan was a 20th century
Spanish writer and according to
Salper, the book "examines all of
his points of view of his work
from die point of gender-based
criticism."
She said "what his work does--
wbether he was conscious or
unconscious about it himsdf-is
to surmount traditional gender
definitions and constraints, often
by mocking and satire."
The god of the book is to
"further discussion of gender
based criticism in modern
Spanish literature," Salper said.
Salper's book is not currently
used in the Penn State
curriculum; however, it is on the
Universities of Kansas' and
Nebraska's syllabi for use in

Penn State
foreign study
by John Kossomando
Cdlaglm Staff
Penn State’s study abroad
program has grown from 23
programs in 1985 to the present
54 programs available in 20
countries.
Penn State is a member of a
consortium devoted to study
abroad programs known as the
Cooperative Centers for Study
Abroad. Through this
organization an additional 26
programs arc available.
Fbm State offers programs for
the semester, year and summer.
Mari TrenUe, Behrend’s study
abroad advisor said, "People need
to inquire as freshmen or
sophomores.”
Programs need to be scheduled
one year in advance so that
students are guaranteed a spot in
the place where they want to go.
Many programs have
prerequisite courses and foreign
language requirements. Study
abroad programs are tailored to
offers
junior level students, and a
minimum 2.5 G.P.A. is required.
Study abroad programs are
designed for specific majors
ranging from liberal arts to
engineering. The programs
consist of two types.
One program has been designed
for Penn State students which are
taught in English. With the other
option a student takes classes in
the language of the host country.
Students may be worried about
the cost of studying abroad.
Trenlde said, "The nice thing
about the study abroad program is
that you just pay Penn State
tuition.”
Costs range from $6780 to
study in Chelsea, England to
$9124 to study in Wellington,
New Zealand. These costs
include airfare, miscellaneous
expenses, books and supplies.
Students interested in the study
abroad program can contact
Trenlde at x 6160 or stop by her
office in the Glenhill Farmhouse.
