ALL-U DAY
By Patricia Gross
Are you coming to Univer
sity Park for All-University
(All-U) Day? The Arch

you there. In addition to

Besides handling
arrangements for com

This year the Keystone

Joseph, hopes to get the
students at University Park
caught up in the spirit of the
weekend festivities. At their
last meeting, Sept. 25, it was
suggested that All-U Day
buttons be distributed at
University Park. An in
formation exchange program
between commonwealth
students and rnajor University
Park organizations was also
tentatively planned.
Of course, the football game
between Penn State and
Maryland will be the highlight
of All-U Day, but many
commonwealth students will
wish to stretch All-U Day into
All-U Weekend. The Keystone
Society will be sponsoring a
jammy Nov. 1 at the Hetzel
Union Building (HUB) for the
early arrivals.
After the football game and
Keystone's buffet, all eyes will
turn to Recreation Hall, where
Loggins and Messina will
perform to two crowded
audiences at 7:30 and 10:30
p.m.
Students who remain at
University Park until Sunday
will have the opportunity to
attend the Press Association of
Commonwealth Campuses' fall
conference and brunch. Any
newspaper staff member,
adviser, or anyone or anyone
interested in commonwealth
campus communication is
invited to attend.
Students at commonwealth
campuses will receive more
information on All-U Day as it
is available. In the meantime,

weekend) to remember!
