also the student's college community.

average. Studies of college freshmen
have shown that physical attractiveness
is more important than intelligence or
personality in dating behavior. So
researchers at the U. of Texas and the U.
of Arkansas tried to determine what
makes a face attractive. Using computer
constructed composites, they found
students generally judged composites of
16 or 32 faces more attractive than
individual faces.

Three Penn State Harrisburg
students were responsible for winning a
$250 grant for the college's Finance
Club and $l,OOO for the general college
scholarship fund. The winning team
members more than doubled their initial
funds in the Merrill Lynch Investment
Challenge, which was offered this
spring.
The winning team members were:
Jesse Lonon, whose investment
portfolio was the highest earner at PSH;
Steve Durant, a May, 1990 graduate; and
Keith Kreger.
Lonon, who will graduate in the
spring, plans to attend graduate school.
His goal after completion of his
education is to eventually become the
Chief Executive Officer of one of the
Fortune 500 companies. Speaking as
president of PHS's Finance Club, Lonon
said the organization hopes to use its
$250 grant to start a scholarship fund for
finance majors. "We plan to enter the
contest again in the spring," he said.
year-olds, and the trend has cut into sales
of beer and spirits. From 1984 to 1989,
the percentage of beer drinkers in that
age group slipped from 56.3% to 46.7%,
while the figure declined just 1.6% for
all ages. Vodka and turn drinkers dropped
from 32% to 22% and from 31% to 21%
respectively. The change in behavior
results from the 21-year drinking age and
the growth of organizations such as
MADD, SADD, and BACCHUS.
THE SUICIDE RATE for college
students is about half the rate of non
students, according to findings presented
at the annual meeting of the American
Psychiatric Association by Allan
Schwartz, chief of mental health services
at the U. of Rochester. He also notes
that suicide rates at highly competitive
institutions don't differ significantly
from rates at less rigorous schools.

"Hopefully, we will earn first-place this
time."
Although Lonon, Durant and Kreger
finance majors, this annual contest is
open to all students enrolled in the
School of Business.
From the 30 colleges participating in
this year's nationwide contest, the PSH
team won third-place.
Each contestant was given $lOO,OOO
in mock funds to invest for 3 months.
The individual portfolios were submitted
periodically to ensure the information
was accurate and up-to-date.
The funds were invested in high-risk
stock options, said Dr. Andreas C.
Christofi, who administered the
challenge on campus . The highest
valued portfolios from each college were
forwarded to Merrill-Lynch, who chose
the winners.
"My main concern is that there is not
wider participation in this contest," said
Christofi, Associate Professor of
Finance. "The potential reward for the
individual student is much greater than
just the awarding of the scholarship."

It was fun to see someone who is
usually very competitive pass up a ball
for the person next to him/her. It was
equally as humorous to see someone
very quiet push a teammate out of the
way to get a ball.
From each of the diferrent leadership
styles, we learned that when there was a
mixture of leadership styles (our natural
ones) we performed much better than we
did when we were supposed to all act in
one manner.
We learned a lot about ourselves that
we will all utilize in the future. "To be
able to carry away an insight made it
worthwhile," said Widoff.
