and Oct. 6.
The new senators, who ran unopposed
in the elections held Sept. 22 thru 24, are:
Mark Britton, junior -at-large majoring in
engineering; Sheila Fenkner, senior-at
large majoring in public policy; Henry
Polee, senior-at-large majoring in criminal
justice; Rachel Hunter, junior senator
majoring in public policy.
Dan Carr, a senior senator in
engineering, was appointed by SGA
President Rick Delgiorno.
Although only 96 students voted in the
election, Registrar Dorothy Guy said
preliminary fall 1992 statistics show there
are 2300 undergraduates and 1325 graduate
students at PSH.
Delgiorno said he was pleased that
students cared enough to vote, but he
would like to see some changes in the
future elections. He feels assemblies,
posters and campaigns are good ideas.
"I was pleased that students took time
from their busy schedules to vote, but I do

wish more people would have voted. You
n always have more," Delgiorno said.
"It's more exciting to have competition
and campaigning; therefore, the students
bdcome more aware and interested in the
candidates," he said.
The senators are expected to attend
weekly meetings, serve on two
committees and hold an open forum for
students in their divisions.
Delgiorno added, "The senators-at-large
are not assigned a specific division. I often
equate this with free safety on the
&tense."
There doesn't have to be a specific
assignment. There's help where there's a
reed, he said.
Polee said, "I ran for senator because I
f6lt I have the qualities of a leader. I was
sick of sitting back and watching others do
the work. Now, I can have a more
influential role in implementing various
ideas."
Carr said, "I see a lot of things going
On in engineering. The engineering
students had no say--their interests weren't
ippresented."

As the International Student Advisor for
PSH, Joan Swetz's role is to advise
foreign students while they pursue their
studies at PSH.
Swetz also informs American students
about the opportunities available for them
to study in other countries.
"In the study abroad programs, there are
about 25 or more programs administered
by Penn State in locations literally
throughout the world," Swetz said.
Swetz feels it is important to have an
understanding of different cultures.
Swetz describes the students who
usually attend the international lectures in
the Gallery Lounge, either attending to
fulfill a class project, or seeking
information about other cultures.

"There are people who I see once the
whole year, and some students who attend
every function with regularity," Swetz
said.
"I tell the students, because of their
schedules, they can stay for only 15
minutes, if that's all the time they have,"
she said. "Still, they will learn something
from it. It is important for the educational
process."
Swetz promises more multi-cultural
events in the future.
"The basic idea is to share the expertise
of people who have had experiences in
other parts of the world with those of us
who are unable to go." she said.
"It is an extension of the educational
process, and with the international
students on campus, new friendships will
hopefully develop," Swetz added.
