tain talented science students
in academe to provide state
of the art research and

"It's time higher educa
tion got its own house in
order," she said.
• An increased support of
"dissent and debate" in the
classroom. Shalala welcom
ed the "change from ivory
towers to marketplace for
ideas."
"The great social
movements for civil rights,
for women and for peace
grew upon our campuses,"
she said, and indicated that
she believes the issue of the
nuclear arms race has been
too slow in becoming a
dominant issue on college
campuses.
"There is an unfinished
agenda between now and the
end of the century," she
said. "We must be vigorous,
tough-minded, humane and
caring," in striving for
perfection, she added.
"We will need new leaders
and you have one in Ruth
Leventhal."
The September 11
ceremonies, which were
housed in a large green and
yellow tent on the campus'
main lawn, also featured
remarks of good will from

ation President Peter

of the Commonwealth
William Davis, Faculty
Council President John
Wade, Campus Alumni
Association Darlene
Crawford and Donald Rent
schler, Executive Assistant to
the Commissioner for
Higher Education for the
state Department of
Education.
The overall tone of the
evening ceremonies was ting
ed with a note of excitement
in the voices of the speakers
for the "new beginning" of
Capitol Campus's growth in
the community. Shalala said
Leventhal was "one of the
bright young and fearless
leaders in this country," and
said the campus was "lucky
to get her."
Conti said Penn State
University President Bryce
Jordan best portrayed the
administration's attitude
toward Leventhal when Jor
dan phoned him with news
of the appointment.
"He's a pretty cool cat,"
Conti said, "but there was a
twinge of excitement in his
voice."
Mekosh said he was "an
ticipating an exciting future
for the college," and said he
perceived Leventhal as being
very supportive of Capitol's
students.
Leventhal accepted a
medallion from Jordan as a
symbol of her appointment
and said she will strive to
make Capitol Campus "a
resource of value and pride
for every one in central
Pennsylvania."
Adding that the campus is
"particularly well-suited"
for recruiting minority
students, she added that the
university is in full support
of the future plans for
Capitol Campus.
