A "STUDY BREAKOUT" eased
final exam frustration at Greensboro
College (NC) last December. Members
of the campus activities board decorated
the student center with a jailhouse
theme. Students enjoyed games
involving pinatas, Nerfbats, rubber darts,
punching bags and pillows, while
downing three-foot subs provided by the
food service.
EDUCATIION MEANS
"TRAINING" for some students at the
U. of Minnesota. Every day as many as
150 students cross the Chicago
Northwestern railroad yard near campus.
Since the railroad could belegally liable
for injuries to trespassers, a trainmaster
has threatened legal action. The"
misdemeanor could result in a $7OO fine
and 90 days in jail. But students like the
shortcut and the thrill. "It's kind of a
challenge getting across the tracks before
a train comes," said one student.
"GOT TO GET DOWN TO IT."
The 20th anniversay of the killing of 4
students at Kent State U. will pass this
year without a memorial. Unless the
recent episode of NBC's "Third Degree,"
featuring two survivors of the Ohio
National Guard rampage, succeds in
raising money. Memorial or not, plans
continue for a two-day remembrance to
take place May 3-4. Suggested speakers:
Tom Cruise and Ron Kovic, of Born
the 4th of July fame.

students, or over 13 % of the student
body, spent their spring breaks working
at 8 different sites, including Project
Hospitality--a program to help the
homeless on Staten Island--and two
Mexican orphanages. Even more
remarkable, student volunteers paid their
own expenses for the trips.
STUDENTS HIT THE STREETS.
More than 800 students from the U. of
California-Los Angeles and other
campuses gathered on the UCLA campus
before heading out "Into the Streets." A
central component of the Campus
Outreach Opportunity League (COOL),
"Into the Streets" sent the students to 30
sites and projects in the community
where the students did volunteer work for
a day.

the U. of Kansas. The group is most
noted for its "Secure Cab" program,
which prOvides free rides home to fret
members too intoxicated to drive. Bill
Zimmerman, Sigama Nu's president,
said use of Secure Cab has picked up
since March 1989. His brothers "don't
use it as much as they should," he adds.
CAMPUS
Getting Fit
Who would have guessed that beneath
the humble exterior of Ray Acri, a
senior business major at PSH, there is
the strength and agility of a power
lifting champion? Acri took second place
in the Central Pennsylvania Open Power
Lifting Championship in his class in
October of 1989, lifting a total of 1,155
pounds. "It's individual and you can do
your own thing. It's all up to you when
you do well," says Acri.
Contenders at the Open Power
Lifting Championship compete in three
areas: the squat, the bench, and the dead
lift. The best lift of three attempts is
tallied to produce an overall score. Each
lift is judged by three judges who look at
form as well as weight, and at least two
judges must agree to accept the lift. The
American Drug Free Lifting Association
sponsored the meets.
Acri trains four to five days a week
for about two hours a day. Besides
training, he plays first base and right
field for the PSH baseball team.
"Baseball is just a hobby," Acri said. "I
like it, but it's not the thing I do best."
When not training for meets, Acri also
likes to box and run, but he concentrates

mainly on lifting about one month prior
to a meet.
"I look forward to lifting everyday.
On my days off I concentrate about
going in and lifting," Acri said. He says
that you just have to set time aside for
working out and make it a part of your
life.
Acri is training for the North
American Power Lifting Championships
to be held in Wilkes Bane, PA on April
28. Although Acri believes in himself
and carries most of the burden, he says
that he owes a great deal to his training
partner, Wayne Holmberg, an Electrical
Engineering Senior. Holmberg wilLalso
be competing in the April 28th meet. "A
good training partner is very important
to me," insists Acri. "He's a big factor
in how well I'm going to do." Acri
attributes some of his previous success
to Holmberg, and looks forward to
competing in the North American meet
because of the stronger competition.
Eventually Acri wants to go into
body building and incorporate it with
power lifting. He says he will be able
to devote more time to this goal after
graduation, and is already coordinating
his work schedule to fit his work-out
schedule.

If the Lions can continue to build
upon the strong junior nucleus next
season and fill the voids left by the
departure of the Brothers Nye and "Tank"
Petrucci, they could be on the road to
success rather than the emergency room.

Thanks. One final item goes out to all
