PSH Fund Drive
Exceeds Expectations

Capital Times Staff
Penn State Harrisburg recently
concluded a three year fund drive
campaign that raised $3.2 million which
was well over the original goal of $1.35
million, said Karen Gluntz, director of
development and university relations.
The money has been spread out to
quite a few different projects, and a large
sum has gone towards two endowed
professorships--one in engineering and
the other in business administration.
"It's quite an honor to have a named
professorship," Gluntz said. "What it
means is money for more reasearch to
keep up with the new happenings in the
field."
Professor Don Corner has been named
to the Quentin Berg Professorship in
Engineering. The Quentin Berg Trust
specifically endowed $250,000 for this
position.
Nobody has been named to the
business administration position. It may
be filled by Sept., 1991.
A sizable chunk of the money raised
was for computer equipment and
facilities.
The Whitaker Foundation donated a
$200,000 computer lab for engineering

Eat Right on Campus

The alarm clock goes off, you jump
out of bed, dash into the shower, gulp
down a cup of coffee or two, get dressed
and off you run to that 8 a.m. class.
Oops! You forgot to eat breakfast.
You run from class to class until
lunchtime. Who has time for lunch? A
trip to the vending machines--a quick
soda and a package of crackers. Inhale
those yummies. Read, study, or type a
paper and off you go again. Finally,
unless you have a night class, it's the
end of the day. Exhausted, you drag
yourself home and collapse on the
couch. Who cares about eating, you
want to catch a few zzzzzzzz's. Hours
later you wake up, pop a TV dinner in
the oven and start studying.
Who has time to think about
nutrition? I've got news for you. If you
don't start thinking about yourself and
eating right, come mid-terms, your body
will yell--ENOUGH!! We are becoming
a health conscious society.
But you ask, "where can I get some
good food, packed with protein and
vitamins...cheap?" Have you heard of
the Dining Hall? It's the building
between the dorms. They have food! An
all-you-can-eat lunch for just one low
price of $4.95. The dining hall is is
"promoting healthy foods" such as fresh

and business administration students, and
Data General, Inc. donated $400,000
worth of computer equipment.
The Data General contribution was
part of $BOO,OOO worth of what Gluntz
called "gifts in kind."
"Area companies that can't give cash
gifts have the chance to give products
instead," Gluntz said.
Besides the computer equipment,
Hershey Nursery gave trees and shrubs
for campus beautification.
The Mechanical Engineering and
Technology Lab received $250,000 from
several area foundations and companies.
The money went towards an addition to
the building, a new paint job, and other
general repairs, Gluntz said.
As for other projects, the Faculty
Development Fund received $200,000
from which professors can request funds
for research, and $500,000 was raised for
special projects, programs, and
equipment like the American Studies
program, campus beautification, the
Environmental Engineering program,
and library needs to name a few.
$BO,OOO was also raised for
renovations to the Olmsted Auditiorium
which should start sometime next year,
and $lOO,OOO was raised for the annual
lecture series.
fruit, hamburger that's 80 percent lean
with 20 percent fat, foods fried in 100
percent vegetable oil, and no
preservatives said Steven Fiske, assistant
manager of food services. During
Octoberfest, the dining hall has an apple
special planned--since October is apple
month.
No time to run to the dining hall?
Fast food is at the Lion's Den, which is
located in the basement of the Olmsted
building. They have steak sandwiches,
hamburgers, "hot" specials, pizza, cheese
fries, tuna salad with eggs, and a fresh
salad bar.
Although food is prepared ahead of
time, e.g., lasagna, it is not cooked and
then reheated. It is made fresh for
today's "hot" special, said Fiske.
"Mr. Healthy" who lives off
campus, "eats nothing here". He cooks
for himself, "gave up soda, sugar, salt,
and consumes no junk-food. "Mr.
Grease" eats cheeseburgers, steak
sandwiches and fries. He eats an
occasional tuna salad, which he says
"We-made sandwiches get overly soggy."
"Mr. I'll-eat-anything" doesn't care
what he eats as long as he eats. He can
eat "grease," "health foods," or vending
machine foods.
Health nuts, keep reading those
labels! Junk-food junkies munch those
Doritos, they'll just make more!

the formation of the campus occurred at
the same time as HACC's formation,
said Glenn Knight:- HACC was the first
community college established in
Pennsylvania and a four-year institution
might have affected the community
college's future.
There was agreement of area leaders
not to offer the first two-years at PSH,
Knight said. "It was a good relationship
legally for everyone because working
with HACC ensured students at HACC
that credits were transferable if they
wanted to come here."
Leventhal said their reception before
the House select committee was "quite
cordial." "They seemed interested in
what we were saying. They asked for
more information and we are sending it
along."
