(The Cream of the Crap)
Capitol's Nittany Lion poms for tha
On Saturday, April 12, the Pittsburgh Partfhers invaded
Penn State Nittany Lion Country for the Blue-Gold game
at Hershey stadium. The Nittany Lion (Paul Skodacek)
was upset and counterattacked the Pitt thrust with a
dozen of Blue & White supporting fans, including the
Stompin’ Cheerleader, Al Kerchner, and a portion of the
Cotton Bowl Regiment featuring Mr. Coors himself, Gid
Wray.
A small segment of the XGI Fraternity group paraded
the inside of the field with signs following their leader,
Mr. Nittany Lion. Pittsburgh’s representative
cheerleaders were put to the test as the Lion Country
cheerleader called or screamed out counter-cheers, and
eventually embarrassed them off the field.
For some unknown reason, the area where the Penn
State fans were seated became more and more vacant as
the game progressed. But maybe it was because this
group was really hot! So hot that in fact Mr. Wray was
called from the stands to attend to his van, which was
surrounded by big red trucks and men wearing funny hats,
boots, and coats. It appears that Mr. Wray’s “Perfect
Sleeper” was sending smoke signals to Coach Paterno!
Needless to say, everyone there had a great time and
the XGI Fraternity made sure that Pitt knew that they were
in Lion Country.

Reed Speaks
Cont’d. from p. i '
when a university or college
is faced with a monetary
shortage the burden is first
passed onto the student in
the form of higher tuition
and cutbacks in student
employment. The institution
itself is the last to ■feel the
“crunch”.
He wants to make it clear
that this was the only reason
why he voted for the $5.5
million amendment to the
deficiency appropriation for
public institutions on June 3.
He stresses that the
passage of this amendment
is not precedent setting and
that, “I have no intention of
engaging in this practice on
an annual basis.”
Mr. Reed said that it is
“nonsense” if the colleges
and universities in this state
think they’ll get their money
through deficiency appropri
ations next year at this same
time.
Representative Reed said
the governor’s effort to
revamp and review through
the Businessman’s Task
force the manner in which a
lot of our colleges and
universities are operating is
long overdue.
Mr. Reed feels that now
more than ever there is the
need for a good liberal arts
education. In order for the
individual to best confront
the “new frontier” of our
cities, he must achieve, with
the help of a liberal arts
education, “compatability to
the socio-economic environ
ment.”
The 26 year old politician
feels that politics seems to
be one of the last ways in
which young people choose
to tackle the flaws in our
social system, and yet
politics is the area that
influences all facets of our
society.
Representative Reed has
been involved with politics
since age 15 when he
founded the Teenage Demo
cratic Movement. He was
the president of the student
bodies of Bishop McDevitt
High School and Harrisburg
Area Community College.
He currently serves on the
House Health and Welfare
Committee, the Law and
Justice Committee, and the
Urban Affairs Committee.
He is also the chairman of
the Crime Prevention Task
Group and is an active
member in numerous com
munity affairs.
