Carrubba Competes Continued from page one visibility for Penn State Harrisburg is also very important," Dr. Can - übba said. "Going to conferences and talking about it and being present on various boards nationally." Dr. Carrubba said that he was very much in favor of strong faculty development, to allow faculty to do research and work on other projects. "I very much like to sit down with people and discuss things, that's the way that I work. I work collegially," Dr. Carrubba said. "My style is to set up a regular agenda of what the agendas are and what we need to be talking about." "Scholarship was part of my profession for my many years of teaching and I came to administration much later in life then most," Dr. Carrubba said. "I have maintained schol arship as a hobby, however, in my life. I guess I have been an academic person all of my life." Dr. Carrubba was the dean of the graduate school for the . University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 1985-1991. Dr. Carrubba was the founding de:an of the graduate school. "Founding a school of your own is an opportunity that comes along once in a life time and to take it to the point where it became a doctoral institution," Dr. Canublxi said. 'That was an exciting six years of my life." When responding to a question on dealing with problems and with administrating, Dr. Carrubba said that he felt that when a group of people get together, they all profit from each other's knowledge and perspectives and work out a final policy. "I like to listen, I like to work one on one and to work with groups and I like to do it in a collegial manner," Dr. Carrubba said. "I really believe in the statement that the heart of a university is its faculty, and its first concern is for the good of its students," Dr. Carrubba said. Dr. Carrubba said that he felt that this was still a young institution and we need to see what PSH has accomplished, and it also must create a serious environment so that the com- ibrary ontinued from page one suilding. The old library will be convert. 'nto offices and class rooms in a separate enovation project, according to Dr. Shill. The college has worked very hard to make 's dream become reality. The previous pro ost and the board of advisors, among others, orked closely with individual legislators t -rsuade them to keep the new library in th apital budget bill. According to Shill, th strong support of House Democratic Leade illiam Deweese was critical to the passage, of the bill. "I think it's a sign by the state that the state ill continue to support Penn State Harris . urg," Dr. Matthew Wilson, associate profes sor of humanities, said. "It is absolutely fun ental to our survival as an institution." Dr. Ruth Leventhal, the former provost) d Dr. Shill attended "eye-opener" break asts held in the Harrisburg to generate public ty.

For Carrubba, the job of provost and dean would be a step up as well as a return home. "I spent 16 years of my life at University Park at the graduate school," Dr. Carrubba said. "Two of my children were born in the hospital there, overlooking the campus, and I really enjoyed my years there." Dr. Carrubba was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He received his undergraduate degree from Fordham University in classics. He then went on to Princeton University where he received his Ph.D. in classics. He also spent some time in the military . Dr. Carrubba served as a second lieutenant in the infantry. His service was not during peri ods of conflict, for which Dr. Carrubba said he was very thankful. Dr. Carrubba spent his first year at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh as vice chancellor. "I enjoyed that opportunity very much and after that year I was given the rank of provost in addition to being vice chancellor," Dr. Carrubba said. "During my fast three years there we took an institution, which was sort of an average regional institution in the Wisconsin system, and we made it into one of the finest institu tions," Dr. Carrubba said. "In terms of the student body, for the first three years we had a better freshman class than the year before," Dr. Carrubba said. "In terms of faculty, for instance, last year in the College of Letters and Sciences we were able to hire nine out of our first 10 choices." "We spent a fair amount of money on faculty development, giving the faculty the opportunity to develop courses, to do some research or to buy equipment," Dr. Carrubba said. Dr. Carrubba said that he is leaving the school because he is looking to go forward and the position of provost and dean at Penn State Harrisburg gives him the opportunity to do just that. When Dr. Carrubba was asked if he could repeat at Penn State Harrisburg what he did at Oshkosh, he said that he looks forward to his life in seven year periods and commitments and would try to accomplish everything that he could. "Penn State is wonderful for me, it's re turning to the family," Dr. Carrubba said. "Penn State is well -situated, our reputation has gotten better and stronger. If you get out and away from Penn State and mention it, the quality and the recognition have gone up." The response to Dr. Carrubba from the audience, based on the questions asked, seemed to be favorable. "I got the feeling of solidity about and a caring for the University," Dr. Tace Hedrick, assistant professor of humanities and com parative literature said. "He really seemed to have a caring for the faculty and academic matters. All in all, I was favorably impressed. Ile did not talk too much like an administrator and that's a point in his favor as far as I am concerned." Eton Churchill, assistant professor of hu manities and communications said that he did not feel that Dr. Carrubba answered his ques tion about the curriculum and that his question was a vital one and needed to be answered. "I think he is a good candidate," Profes sor Churchill said. "I think that we need to get a sense of leadership here and a sense of identity, sort of a leadership vision and I am not sure that either candidate has that. They can do other things that are valuable and that past administrations have not done." Overall, the faculty, students and staff in attendance seemed to like Dr. Carrubba and the straight forward way that he answered most questions and also the fact that he has previously worked for Penn State.

Dr. Mixer has worked as a teacher and scholar for the past 21 years and as a full-time administrator for the past 10 years. Despite the fact that she is serving as vice president, she still teaches one class a semes ter. "At my school we have around 26,000 students, hut by teaching a class 'I know that maybe 30 of those students are mine and I like to keep in touch with them," Dr. Boxer said. Dr. l3oxer explained why the PSH job is enticing to her. "Penn State is one of the major research facilities in the nation and that really intrigues me," Dr. Boxer said. "That fact that Penn State Harrisburg is such a small school also is a great attraction." Dr. Boxer also added that PSH's location, near the capitol of a major state, would pro vide a regional metropolitan urban focus to be integrated into the teaching and faculty focus. "1 am an interactive, hands on person and I bring a lot of passion to what I do and I feel that may be best suited for a small school," Dr. Boxer said. "I want to be part of a school that is student centered, teaching centered, to be interactive and a place where people can get to know each other." "I feel that I could come here as an admin- senate and a referendum, for approval during the next general elections period," according to the proposal..

"My door will always be open to the students and I hope that they would take advantage of that." When asked how she would raise funds, particularly for the new library, she said that going out into the community and getting people to give money to the campus is some thing that she feels that she does fairly well. She felt that she would be able to look for opportunities to advance the campus. "She has a bright new outlook on things," George Hahner, a junior communications major, said. "When it came to answering the questions she was very precise, she was down to earth. Overall I think that she is a very intelligent women and would be a great choice."

"She made some really good points, but whether or not she carries through with them who knows," Caralyus said. "I think that she could bring a lot of good qualities and tremendous experience and cre ativeness and innovation to our campus," Stu dent Government President Andrea Poplawski, a junior public policy major, said. "As of today I would be very comfortable working with her." Dr. Hoffman, associate professor of hu manities and history, said that she had read some of Dr. Boxer's work and that she is very well regarded as a historian. "I am very interested in seeing someone come here who is a real scholar and knows what good scholarship is," Dr. Hoffman said. "We have been missing that for sometime, so that is a point in her favor. Another thing in her favor is the fact that she has continued teach ing. Administrators here very often cease teaching altogether. I understand that the demands on them are very heavy, but if they neither teach nor do research they become out of touch with the main functions of the univer sity. Then they become bureaucrats and they become less and less understanding of the students and the faculty who are doing what the university is mainly here to do." LARGE PLAIN 4 -12 OZ.
