last meeting, Sept. 25, it was
suggested that All-U Day
buttons be distributed at
University Park. An in

tentatively planned.
Of course, the football game
between Penn State and

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.

University Park until Sunday

attend the Press Association of
Commonwealth Campuses' fall

adviser, or anyone or anyone
interested in commonwealth
campus communication is
invited to attend.
Students at commonwealth
campuses will receive more
