SUCCESSFUL CLUB RECRUITMENT
ASA AND BETA CHI RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS AT CLUBFEST
COLLEGE WITH
CONSCIENCE
Karen M. Putt
Yes Virginia, it's true! Penn State is
a college with a conscience. A
conscience which is addressing the
important environmental issues of today.
What am I babbling about? What has
gone relatively unnoticed by the student
body is the university's decision to stop
using styrofoam products in the dining
hall and Lion's Den.
All the styrofoam products have
been removed from the Lion's Den and
little remains in the dining hall said
Joanne Coleman, manager of food
services. The university-wide decision
was largely based on student requests for
paper product usage. It even costs the
university more to buy paper products.
An example Joanne gave was plates. A
nine inch styrofoam plate cost about
.026 per plate. Paper plates of the same
size now cost nearly .06 a plate.
Joanne also said the switch to paper
will hopefully be followed by a full
recycling program. There is already a
bin for the recycling of aluminum cans
in the Lion's Den. A recycling program
would include all cans, plastics, etc...
used in the dining hall. The workers
there are already accustom to separating
GENERAL NEWS
the items and would welcome a recycling
program, Joanne said.
Besides the move to paper, other
changes occurred in the dining hall
before students arrived. Fryers and steam
equipment were replaced and new
lighting was added to the kitchen. The
hall also took safety measures in
replacing exhaust hoods and installing a
new fire suppression system. For
students, the hall now offers a
microwave for reheating purposes.
In retrospect, the purchase of paper
products is a step in the right direction,
but with a system the size of Penn
State's a recycling program must begin.
Maybe with enough student
support...(Hint! Hint!) Penn State will
initiate a recycling program. I think it
would be the best way they could spend
my tuition!

Penn State Harrisburg held its annual
Clubfest in the Gallery Lounge of the
Olmsted building on Thursday, August
30. A total of 26 clubs were on hand to
recruit new members for the current
I semester.
Janet Widoff, Director of Student
Activities at Penn State Harrisburg,
described the event as "probably the
biggest turnout I have seen in recent
yam•
In the past, Clubfest was held during
orientation. When asked why the change
was made, Widoff said, "During
orientation, there wasn't enough time to
complete the sessions and Clubfest. This
way, students have more time in their
schedules and both new and returning

students can sign up for clubs at the
same time."
Most of the clubs reported good
turnouts, and most students said the
clubs they signed up for are flexible--
allowing them time to participate. Mark
Malloy and Chris Messner, both
Structural Design Engineering Majors,
said, "in PSPEC (Penn State
Professional Engineers and Contractors)
there are a lot of activities going on, but
not all of them are mandatory, thus
allowing the students more freedom."
Some students said they will "make
time" for their favorite clubs.
Some clubs provided food and drinks,
including coffee, soda, candy, and
assorted cheeses to attract new members.
A drawing for a free nightshirt was also
held. In addition, free pizza was
provided, courtesy of Domino's Pizza.
