Have you ever wanted to dine and
travel to another part of the world
for free?
Students And faculty who attended
the International Lunch With
Flavor had the opportunity to do
that in the Gallery lounge on Sept.
8.
Babu Munusamy, a native of
India and a graduate student of
Environmental Pollution Control,
prepared Indian cuisine for the
lunch. He gave an informal
presentation of the history and
geography of his native land.
Smitley, who helped develop many
of those programs, said that
although he is disappointed, he
thinks the decision was proper in
order for intramural programs to
survive.
"I see the value in both programs
but if you have to cut one,
intercollegiate is the better choice"
because more students benefit from
intramural programs, Smitley said.
Smitley is deeply rooted in the
intercollegiate sports of Penn State
Harrisburg , which he supported
iring his 14 year stay from 1973
1987. Sinitley built the baseball

After leaving Penn State
Harrisburg in 1987, Smitley went
on to be the director of the
Fellowship Christian Athletes.
Smitley said his experiences with
FCA will help him continue his
dedication to thf students as well as
the athletic department.

socioeconomic conditions. India has

The old Mac lab consisted of
systems that haven't been upgraded
in 10 years, according to
Viswanath.
The antiquated system often
failed, frustrating users, said Peggi
Hunter, Assistant Professor of
Education, who teaches education
classes in the lab. Repairs couldn't
be made because some replacement
parts weren't available.
"One of them even caught fire,"
Hunter said. "Students have had to
learn to trouble-shoot."
Education students aren't the
only ones to benefit from the new
computers. Any student will be
able to access the new word
processing and desktop publishing
software, Viswanath said.
"It's great," Hunter said. "It's
nice to be in the 905."
